It was the same with the blonde hair and Daisy Duke outfits and flashy jewelry. Thats what Id say hang on a sec while I change. The prosecution called a number of so-called experts and analysts to the stand. The murders were premeditated, meaning Darlie chose to do this in the middle of the night, with Darin at home and just upstairs. I believe you are right, and the verdict was a "payback" of sorts. I believe she remembers bits and pieces and everything is out of order; I also believe she herself isn't even sure of what memories are real, and what has been confabulated. One, two, donewitness dispatched. One of Darlie's non-supporters uploaded a video of him having a chat with Barbara Jovell about this very thing. He would have had to have been kicking her arms for half an hour straight to cause that kind of bruising. So riddle me this: How is it possible that Darin can make it all the way through the house, out the front door, into the yard, wait for Waddell to get out of the police car, walk up to him, and ask him to identify himselfin the span of 12 seconds? The prosecution asserted that Darlie had enough time to commit the murders, run 75 yards down the alley to deposit the sock daubed with Devon's and Damon's blood, run back to the house, slash her throat, inflict her other injuries, and stage the scene. and we do tend to presume it is a male unconsciously i though male intruder up until you mentioned what the psychic said about been a female. In other words, Bevel was saying that both victims were injured and actively bleeding when the drops were deposited, and their mixed blood landed on the back of the shirt. Many people believe that an intruder broke into 26 year old Darlie's Rowlett, Texas home and murdered her young bo JustinCase976 (author) on December 10, 2019: Vanessa Potkin and Bryce Benjet of the NY Innocence Project are indeed involved in her case. The Routier's Home at 5801 Eagle Drive: Devon and Damon called it "The Home Alone House." 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. Suppose he had trouble sleeping and came down the stairs for a glass of water while she was doing all this? On the stand, Bevel testified that the mixture was actually the result of two separate occurrences, Darlie's blood having landed on the shirt first and then Damon's blood landing on the exact same spot of the shirt on top of Darlie's (or vice versa). He may not have been able to see the ambulance from his bedroom window. Many people believe the call itself is a huge indication of Darlie's guilt, but that's strictly a matter of perception and open to interpretation. I believe I did read somewhere that this psychic told Darlie that a woman had done it, a woman who was supposedly very jealous of Darlie. Darlie Routier: Wrongfully Convicted of Murdering Her Children JustinCase976 Sep 1, 2022 Darlie Routier with Damon (left) and Devon (right) The Darlie Routier Case On June 6th, 1996, someone brutally murdered two little boys and got away with it. What happens next? One sticking point has been the DNA evidence. I have no doubt that Diane Downs shot her children and then shot herself in the arm. Now, was this during the time that you said that you wanted Mrs. Routier to administer first aid. He even left a huge clue to his identity by cutting the screen in the shape of his first initial. Would she really risk that? Why even cut yourself at the sink at all? 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. I'm going to outline some of those concerns in this article. JustinCase976 (author) on January 31, 2020: Excellent point, Anonna Miss. The same reasoning applies to Darlie's interchanging usage of the pronouns "he" and "they." New evidence may allow former Lubbock resident Darlie Routier to walk free after being on death row for the last 12 years. When someone comes up with a cover story, they've usually got their details in order before they start talking. The dog and the cats would chase each other around the house, knocking over knickknacks and houseplants, tracking dirt everywhere, etc. A. Okay. These maggots have been eating at me with their lies for too long. He also stated that he never actually saw the police officer get out of the car. I did point this out in a comment, but the author chose not to publish the comment. I dont buy the wrong date, and the police corruption obvious. Davis can disapprove all he wants. I thank you for the compliment; I make every effort to be as accurate and detail oriented as possible. The 1993-built Routier home has 2,740 square feet with three bedrooms and three baths. It certainly isn't impossible, but I formed my opinion based on verifiable facts, and I just haven't seen anything that points to a woman's involvement. Q. Cron certainly had an impressive resume and over 30 years of experience, but sometimes this can work against a person. If she was just seeking attention, it would make more sense to call the police the very next day upon hearing about the murders. They also stated that had Darlie been acquitted of Damon's murder, they could have then charged her with Devon's murder, doubling their chances of a convictionhmmm, perhaps their case was not as strong as they would like us to believe? If Acadiana Criminalistics recommends additional testing of samples, the specific evidence is to be sent to Mitotyping Technologies in State College to undergo mitochondrial DNA testing. If that is the case, I urge you to contact the authorities with everything you know. Again, Alan Brantley was instructed by the prosecution to not put his professional opinion in writing. This is a total no-brainer. Attorney's for convicted killer Darlie Routier are having old evidence tested again in an effort to try and prove Routier is innocent. Fibers believed to be from a sliced screen were discovered adhering to a bread knife from the kitchen. There are those that steadfastly claim she could have feasibly done it, but it's just too much of a reach, as far as I'm concerned. That changed when I read Dateline Purgatory: Examining the Case That Sentenced Darlie Routier To Death by Kathy Cruz. A diary entry from May 3rd of that year indicated that Darlie was contemplating suicide. Nothing happens overnight; it's all a process. Perhaps he was offered a choice: Stick to the script and receive a nice transfer and promotion, or tell the truth and stand in line at the unemployment office. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't wash. I can understand her anger and frustration at yet another violation of privacy. False. Guiltersthose who believe Darlie is guiltyhave a number of familiar reasons for doubting her story. And didnt that famous attorney say after reviewing it all. My belief is that the intruder did not go out the garage window. It fell off when bandage removed. Rickels would not actually contact police with this information until June 11th, five days after the murders. This resulted in both men invoking their 5th amendment right against self-incrimination; it also effectively robbed Darlie of her own 6th amendment right to cross-examine her accuser, since Patterson was the one who drafted her arrest warrant and filed charges of capital murder. Darlie's Pathfinder was parked in the street; it would have appeared as if no one was home. Drops of blood from the boys, which were consistent with castoff from the blade, were found on the back of Darlie's night shirt. Are the others ever held accountable? If the software finds a match, the uploading agency is notified and is then tasked with the dissemination of personal information. 3) I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you've never been to Eagle Drive. He's a wealthy businessman from Waco who hired his own investigators to look into the case. He stated that a fiber he analyzed from the grooves of the knife was consistent with rubber and fiberglass fibers from the cut screen in the garage. Q. And then were awakenedwhat awakened you the second time, do you know? I agree completely. When Darlie took the stand in her own defense, it was a disaster. I knew Darin liked his nose candy, but never heard anything about meth use. In a move that would turn out to be an epic fail, defense attorney Doug Mulder used this as an excuse to blast the detectives and insinuate to the jury that they had broken the law with their graveyard surveillance. James Cron, a retired "crime scene analyst," arrived at the Routier home around 6:00 am. The majority of the public felt that Susan Smith should have gotten the death penalty and were outraged when she did not. The Routiers had significant financial problems, including a substantial drop in income from the previous year, credit card debt, a late mortgage payment, and back taxes owed to the IRS. At around 2:30 in the morning of June 6, 1996, Rowlett, Texas homemaker Darlie Routier awoke on her family room couch to see the silhouette of a man walking away from her in the dark. Next up is an expert who was never called to testify: Dr. Kenneth Dekleva, the state's own forensic psychiatrist. Look at all the red spots that indicate where Damon went in the family room. So, I did the next best thing: I asked multiple sources close to the case, and received the same response from more than one person: Domain would be brought into the bedroom every night from the first week they got him. I don't believe the bloody jeans were ever analyzed or taken into evidence. Good point about Darins pants. Mary Rickels eye yi yi Re: Darlene Potter, I could understand remembering the day I pulled a big trailer from my daughters. To hear them tell it, Darlie was unemotional with a flat, disinterested affect. Their notes, however, told a different story. Steve Cooper has known about this evidence for many years but that maggot has not got Texas to look at it. 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. I really don't think there's any substance to that theory, and I believe this avenue has been explored with no success. She mentions a struggle early in the 911 call to the dispatcher, but that is before Waddell arrives. He testified that he saw Darin and Officer Waddell together in the yard, and saw them go into the house together. Where did the information about the ceramic frog planter & the missing key come from? At the time, Darlie had two different private investigators working on the case and feeding her (sometimes conflicting) information. Darlie's blood was found to have dripped onto it, and there were wheel marks where it appeared the vacuum had been rolled through wet blood. Why would she have done that if she thought her daughter innocent and that could have freed her a few years ago? Darlie's husband, Darin Routier, was sleeping upstairs with 7-month old Drake. and the part about Darlie and the babysitter rebecca laughing when Drake was starting to fall from the couch?
