I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system. I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie ...
This is so cool. I want an autographed copy, Kelly :)
ReplyDeleteAw, you got it ;)
Delete"Serial Killers" looks like an interesting book. True crime stories are fascinating and can give a voice to victims and their families. Any book by Ann Rule is always a winner. I recently finished reading "A Rose For Her Grave." http://www.planetannrule.com/ The author depicts both the criminals and female victims in an intriguing yet disturbing collection of several true crime stories. She has updated her books into ebook format. I am enjoying all of them!
