Are you familiar with the Darlie Routier case?

21 years ago she was found guilty of stabbing her young sons to death. There was a huge outcry when Darlie was shown at her boy's gravesite laughing and playing with "silly string". This was supposedly to honor one of the boy's birthday.

Darlie is on death row at present awaiting her last appeal. New evidence is showing other DNA found at the murder scene. Also, her husband has been accused of trying to pull off an insurance scam. What to you think?

I remember. I read a book about it. At the end I wasn't convinced of her guilt. The gravesite scene was jarring, but I've heard close family make jokes at graveside. Some people don't react any 'normal' way to such horrors.

If I recall correctly, her conviction seemed based more on 'who else?' I'm not sure that's sufficient for a murder conviction.

@Mamapolo2016 I loved my gram more than anyone, but got a fit of the giggles at her funeral.

@Coyotedave611 Hysteria can explode at any emotional trigger - laughter, tears, screams, silence.

Do.I think she's a particularly deep, thoughtful young woman? I do not. But being ditzy isn't against the law.
