Seems it would have to be someone with big Reach ? JustinCase976 (author) on February 26, 2020: I do not have actual links to the photos I have seen. Okay. I will never believe that he actually stabbed Darlie or the kids, nor do I believe he hired people to kill his family. We may have to agree to disagree about Darin. 5) Her changing stories--they really didn't change all that much, and there is no reason why everything she said couldn't possibly have happened. You might believe you remember the screech of brakes, the smell of burnt rubber, the smashing of metal upon metal, the windshield shatteringwhen in reality, this "memory" does not exist at all. They had the nurses pass around various photos of Darlie's injuries and the crime scene, but they also slipped Devon's and Damon's autopsy photos in with them. I know that someone will likely make the argument that even if Arkansas and Dwayne did break into a house and stab young children in the Dallas area in June of 1996, who's to say that there wasn't a similar crime that was unrelated? Still, the machine can't do it all. What happens next? So why is he testifying under oath about a conversation that never happened? Yeah .why wouldnt he inquire the same peeps to help again only 3 years later. There was no investigation of Darin. Under Toby Shook's brutal cross-examination, Darlie became non-responsive, argumentative, and even downright angry. There is a chapter in that book that struck me like lightning, and I couldn't get it out of my mind. Okay. It may go a long way with regard to getting her a new trial, but even that is not a given. Do you have the links to the criminal's mugshots? Rickels, a 34-year-old registered nurse who lived about a half a mile from the Routiers, testified that she heard the sounds of someone trying to get in the front door. Darin and Darlie purchased the house toward the end of 1992 and moved in at the beginning of 1993. I would probably roll my eyes at the conspiracy claim, too if this happened in any other state. He had entered the Potter County Jail in July of 1996, after carjacking a man at knife-point. This diary entry has been referred to as a "suicide note" and some people actually see it as a confession. The bottom line is, I feel that Czaban's entire testimony should be taken with a pillar of salt.

I'm stunned that Darlie's lead defense attorney Doug Mulder did not immediately jump on this discrepancy but I have long suspected that Mulder may have purposely "thrown" this case, for reasons known only to him. In truth, Darlie did not pick the music and did not know the song would be played, but the jury did not hear this. Devon and Damon's favorite song was "Gangsta's Paradise," a 1995 hip hop smash hit by rapper Coolio. Did the Court get this one right? As if Rickels' testimony wasn't enough for reasonable doubt, we also have the affidavit filed by Darlene Potter. What's wrong with this woman? They were old mug shots that were shared with me privately by an attorney, and I don't believe they can be found on any website. Captain Edward J. Smith had a good 40 years of experience on the sea, but he still sank to the bottom of the Atlantic with the Titanic in 1912. You either understand the effects of psychological trauma and the memory lapses that accompany it, or you don't. The logs will verify that both Bryce and Vanessa have been to see Darlieand I highly doubt they are flying to Texas from New York just for their health. Could you tell us what that conversation was? What the prosecution does not say is that there was no evidence of Devon's blood present on the knife that was recovered from the Routier home; only Damon's and Darlie's blood were present. It's kind of hard to disturb mulch that isn't there Ah, the infamous "sink cleanup." Let's think about this claim rationally for a second; do you really believe that Darlie would attempt to smother Drake, in broad daylight, in front of two witnesses? :/, yea i get why they went to a psychic especially when desperate for info. JustinCase976 (author) on December 14, 2019: I honestly haven't seen any evidence that this housekeeper had anything to do with what happened. Fibers believed to be from a sliced screen were discovered adhering to a bread knife from the kitchen. She claims an intruder entered her Dallas area home in June of 1996, stabbed two of her children, and attacked her. She never should have testified. The prosecution called a number of so-called experts and analysts to the stand. She even went on Facebook and ranted that she was refusing his help because it was a non supporter that contacted his people and then they contacted Kee. I know mothers kill their children; the idea is not inconceivable to me. A. I assumed it was two to three or four minutes, somewhere in that area. Then cops found disturbing clues that ultimately put her on death row. I believe you're right on the money as far as why it looked like there was "clean up" in the sink area. The blood we see is mostly Darlie's, and it wasn't shed until after she stood up and began walking around. Still, I'd love to know how his bloody jeans managed to end up in a pile of clean, folded laundry. Devon kicks out at the man and catches him squarely in the balls, and the man begins viciously stabbing Devon in a violent rage. He reiterated the time during cross-examination, and was adamant that his clock is set for the actual, precise time, and not a few minutes fast as some people are prone to do. The main focus was on Devon, who was not breathing. He, too, was instructed by the prosecution to avoid recording his findings in a written report. Their reasoning for this conclusion included the following factors and pieces of evidence, some of which, admittedly, did not look good for her: 1) A stab wound to Darlie's right arm that went to the bone (she is right-handed). Through open records, Quinncy was able to obtain police reports and information on Arkansas's known associates. Do you set yours rightI bet you set yours right on the money, don't you? That was their habit for the four years that they had Domain, and there is no reason to believe that they deviated from that habit on the night in question. David Waddell and Matt Walling were both asked if they saw the vacuum laying in the middle of the floor. They also found a large, bloody kitchen knife on the counter top, the possible murder weapon.This is the same knife Darlie told 9-1-1 that she already picked up when chasing the man out of her house. Aside from the supposed cleanup at the sink, there were other details that caused investigators to suspect the crime scene had been staged. At first she insisted there were no audio tapes; later she recanted and admitted that there were audio tapes, locked in a storage unit. If anyone ever looks at it all they'll see is "did you really think I'd be dumb enough to write anything personal? He stated: "Whoever killed those boys knew them, and knew them well.". The public Facebook page for Darlie just locked down - accepting no new members. She called Darin at work, who could tell by her voice that something was wrong and she needed him. I scoured the documents with a fine tooth comb looking for the answer to that question. Judge Tolle made damn sure of that. You hear Waddell come into the house at 3 minutes and 41 seconds into the call, meaning he was inside by 2:34 am. Price: $355,000 (sold after the murder for an unknown price) Darlie Routier Address: 801 Eagle Dr, Rowlett, TX 75088. Was he sleeping in his pants? Guilters like to note that her first priority was setting the stage of a break-in when it should have been requesting medical help for her children. Moving him in any way could have resulted in permanent paralysis, had he lived. He was selling crystal meth out of the home to the neiborhood kids, but the police keeps covering for him. They weren't supposed to break in either, there should have been a key underneath of a ceramic frog planter but the key wasn't there. Mary Rickels eye yi yi Re: Darlene Potter, I could understand remembering the day I pulled a big trailer from my daughters. You can say whatever you want about Mary Rickels and her story of the two men that tried to break in her house, but I have seen Arkansas's mugshot, and one of the men she described fits him to a T. The description of the other man very closely fits Dwayne. Darin's Jaguar was broken down and was not parked in its usual spot in the driveway. Quinncy was skeptical, to say the least. In fact, a trauma nurse named Teresa Powers had provided lead detective Jimmy Patterson with an affidavit. In the event that Darlie is fully exonerated, I guess it would be up to the DA's office whether or not they have enough evidence to pursue charges. It's been ages since I saw that and I honestly can't cite the source, nor do I put much stock in it. The majority of the public felt that Susan Smith should have gotten the death penalty and were outraged when she did not. Had Bevel been on the other side of the case, I firmly believe Tolle would have ruled differently. Where did they come from, the towel fairy? Darlie should be home fern Christmas. So there you have it; all of the reasons why I do not believe Darlie Lynn Routier is guilty of murdering her children. In the letter, Karl, who was then incarcerated at The Potter County Jail, described an argument he had heard between two other inmates in late fall of 1996 as they were coming in from the rec yard. The prosecution took this diary entry and ran with it. Parchman testified that Damon could have lived, at most, 8 or 9 minutes after he was first stabbed. In 2021, The Innocence Project received approval to conduct new DNA tests on crime scene evidence, including the bloody sock. She said she saw him, and that once they had more information on him, she was sure she'd be found innocent. Legally, I believe this fell under the "Hearsay Exception" and Harrell should have been able to take the stand. Q. How many times did the dispatcher say something along the lines of, "Ma'am, I need you to stay on the phone with me." I am not responsible for what other supporters say, but I at no time ever stated that her necklace was embedded into her wound, nor did I say it had to be surgically removed. A liar already has their story prepared in their mind. This is good for Darlie in the sense that it adds yet another element of doubt regarding her story of an intruder. To this day, they cannot prove that Devon was attacked with the same knife, and many speculate that there were indeed two intruders in the house that night, one who brought his own knife and one who used the butcher knife from the kitchen. Besides the trouble was downstairs,not upstairs. What I do fault him for is his perjury and outright character assassination of Darlie during his testimony. Darlie Routier has been on death row for five years now, always insisting that she didn't kill her sons Devon and Damon. There were two strange men standing on her front porch. I tend to agree with you as far as a mother going upstairs to check on the baby; in a situation like that, I can't picture leaving my dying children even for a second. The affidavit is only mentioned again once more, very briefly, and its contents have never been revealed. There was no valid reason for this; these nurses did not attend to Damon or Devon and would not be testifying about their injuries or autopsies. A. I guess, I'm not sure on how long it took him. It can be reasonably assumed that his reply is affirmative, since she immediately becomes even more hysterical and screams, "Oh my God!". This fingerprint did not match one single person who was known to be in the house that night; it did not belong to any of the Routiers, nor did it match any of the police officers or paramedics (all were printed to rule them out). Q. But tell me, what does Rickels have to gain from falsifying information to police or perjuring herself on the witness stand? In an affidavit dated July 10, 2002, Potter described an incident in which she may seen one of the killers. According to Karen, in early June of 1996, Arkansas, Dwayne, and a third man "got into a fight about drugs" and took a road trip headed for Dallas in a stolen white truck. This means that Damon had to have been stabbed within about a minute before the 911 call began. See his direct examination testimony from the August 26, 1996, hearing of a motion to hold Darlie without bail below (most important lines bolded): Q. It's simply the brain's powerful way of attempting to align known facts with what you believe must have happened. Investigators (and guilters) claim that Darlie's bloody footprints under the broken glass on the floor is further evidence of a staged crime scene. They did this in the hopes that they would catch an earth-shattering graveside confession. "Ma'am, I need you to talk to me." HubPages is a registered trademark of The Arena Platform, Inc.

Is Darlie Routier innocent? You're home alone with your teenage daughter, two men try to break in once, come back again with a weapon and break in a different way and you don't call the police? It should not be legal to use a person's private diary against them in a court of law unless they actually confess to murder or something. I have some other topics regarding this case i would like your opinion on. The haters always reference it as one of the best and most informative articles on this subject but I spotted at least a dozen inaccuracies (the article literally says Darlie's fingerprints were found on the knife handle and then later turns around and says she wore a sock on her hand to cover the prints, so which is it?). it was mentioned Darlie had a psychic visit the home i have not managed to research this what is your view? According to the prosecution, Darlie cut her own throat while standing at the sink, and then attempted to clean it up. JustinCase976 (author) on February 03, 2020: Thank you for your email and the information you sent over. Do you know who was involved in the insurance fraud Darin/Jag/ 1993? What kind of mother has bleached blonde hair and $5,000 breast implants? Q. Everyone seems to have a theory as to how it got there. All three were sleeping in the family room on the first floor of their upscale home. The "guilters" would chuckle at the insinuation of a "conspiracy" but is it really such a far reach? How long had they been in that house? If the cop saw the killer come out of the house and let him get away where was the killer at while they were calling 911 and doing CPR? What kind of mother wears such revealing clothing, all that flashy jewelry, and a ring on each finger? and the part about Darlie and the babysitter rebecca laughing when Drake was starting to fall from the couch? Q. Of course, the "guilters" took that and ran with it. Now, when I look at the pictures of the sink, I see: the left side, the right side, and the front. HOLLIDAYSBURG A Blair County judge has authorized the use of a computer generated animation to help a jury TYRONE The fitness and wellness center at Penn Highlands Tyrone soon will be closing its doors. What do you think of Halina Czabens evidence the part about suffocating baby Drake the day before the murders? The presence of blood and water alone does not indicate a cleanup job, in my opinion. Bathrooms: 2. Still, Rickels did not call 911. However, if there is one thing I would personally love to ask Darlene Potter, it would be this: How is it that, more than six years later, she can be absolutely sure that the date she saw these men was indeed June 6, 1996? Linch was instructed by the prosecution team to avoid recording his findings in a written report. Even if you add a couple of minutes to Parchman's opinion that he only lived eight or nine minutes, that still does not give Darlie enough time to accomplish everything the prosecution claims she did. Although the medical examiner found this to be highly suspicious, in the end, his death was classified as a suicide. She went to the door and screamed for Karen Neal, the nurse across the street. It is known that Darin did go outside to get help from Karen Neal, another neighbor across the street who happened to be a nurse. In fact, why would you call 911 at all unless you were sure they were both dead? Davis can disapprove all he wants. They testified that she did not appear to be grieving appropriately. I happen to know that bit about the frog planter is true, but it is not common knowledge. The Rowlett PD was under tremendous pressure to solve this case and solve it quickly. I don't know who "Arthur" is but the other two you mention come from the Darlie Did It camp so I don't think they'll ever be commenting about anyone breaking in. Where is Darlie Routier case > the Darlie Routier free /a > Darlie Routier 2021 update - Darlie Routier is the source of the DNA from the national of. What if the baby woke up and Darin had to come down and warm up a bottle? Can you explain that? He may not have been able to see the ambulance from his bedroom window. Attorney's for convicted killer Darlie Routier are having old evidence tested again in an effort to try and prove Routier is innocent. After the birth of their third one, Drake, Darlie began to suffer from post-partum depression. Devon scrambles to his feet and starts for the hallway. Its just that I . Reminds me of that scene in My Cousin Vinny: Judge: Mr. Gambini, that was a lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection. She was first tried in the media, then she was tried in the court of public opinion, and, finally, she was tried in a courtroom. Since her husband worked nights and often came home during his break to check on her, she was not unduly concerned even when the "jiggling" at the door continued. As a rule, most claims made by inmates are taken well-salted. For the love of God, think of the children! Did Darin shed a tear ? When Darlie's court-appointed attorneys referenced this affidavit in a pretrial hearing, Greg Davis immediately objected on the grounds of hearsay and was (as usual) sustained by Judge Mark Tolle. If you know Arkansas real name then you know I'm right. Last but not least, Devon was MOST DEFINITELY on his feet when he was attacked. She was nervous, intimidated, and probably terrified, but she came off as cold and arrogant. I also think she resented the fact that in Poland, she was a Registered Nurse, while in America, she was reduced to folding someone else's laundry for $50. Guess what this ISN'T? I don't see where either Darren or Darlie ever said that. Justice will be served. Look at all the red spots that indicate where Damon went in the family room. The murders were premeditated, meaning Darlie chose to do this in the middle of the night, with Darin at home and just upstairs. He also claims that Darlie described to him how she struggled or fought with the intruder by the kitchen bar, but that conversation never took place. When Darlie mentioned the knife to Waddell, the dispatcher immediately instructed her not to touch it. Guilters insist the only way this could happen is from Darlie raising the knife over her shoulder while stabbing Damon. The stroke, the medication, the horror movie: none of this means that two men with a knife didn't try to break into her house that night. You will never get me to believe that Darlie threw a glass to simulate a struggle for the simple fact that I know someone rounded a corner and walked smack dab into the wine rack, shattering a glass while it was still in place in its holder. After killing the kids and attacking Darlie, do you really think they are going to take anything with them that might possibly tie them to this house? They don't see the kids sleeping on the floor at first; what they do see is an attractive young blonde asleep on the couch.
