Yet, Darlie has sat on death row for nearly 25 years.
So quick recap of what happened the night her boys, Devon and Damon were killed. Darlie and her two oldest boys were sleeping downstairs in the living room while her husband Darin to their fussy 8 month old, Drake, upstairs to sleep. Around 2:30 am, Darin is woken up by Darlie screaming that someone killed the boys. Darin runs downstairs, sees the boys laying in pools in of blood while Darlie is gushing blood from her neck. Paramedics and police are on the scene in less than 10 minutes. Within a half hour of assessing the scene, Jim Cron had already decided the intruder theory was bogus and that Darlie was the perpetrator.
I'm bothered by this case because they immediately honed in on Darlie. While she was recovering from her wounds in the hospital, detectives popped in to take a statement from her. Comparing the 911 call with her hospital statement, there are some differences. But let me ask you two things. 1) If you were just attacked in your home and are watching your boys die while trying to explain what happened, do you think you'd be 100% coherent? 2) If you just woke up, groggy from medication given to you during emergency surgery, would you be able to give a coherent statement?
That's one of the many issues I have with this case.
But I also want to know how they convicted a woman with no physical evidence. Darlie's trial was 100% based on circumstantial evidence. Not to mention the prosecution's theories are absurd. They truly believe Darlie stabbed her children to death, staged a crime scene, planted a bloody sock on the street nearly 3 houses away, and then stabbed herself 5 times with her non-dominant hand AND made them look like defensive wounds.
I just don't buy that. I don't believe she's responsible for this.
