I think its an outrage that the justice system can put someone on death row for 20 years just because the police and detectives were too lazy to do their jobs! Ive seen the crime scene photos uncensored and she has a slit on her throat while her boys have horrifying penetrating injuries? I was so angry. Yeah that makes sooo much sense. That stone you just cast will be the same one the devil uses to torture your idiot arse as you rot in hell for eternity. Did they check the blue jeans for the boys and Darlies DNA? So what if she had boob implants? In 2015, 85-J was analyzed for Y-STR and contain no male DNA. So what? DNA evidence in her case is being tested this. He has never been investigated in 23 years, its time for justice for Darlie, Damon, Devon and Drake. It takes great force to make. LOL. Thats what I call poetic justice. The prosecution and the cops should be under full investigation in the case and in many others. Why isnt she telling the public the true story and the facts surrounding this case? Thankfully we have now a great sheriff, chief of police and mayor who are realizing that are system is flawed. When luminol was applied, they instantly glowed dark green. Its suppose to be innocent until proven guilty but REALLY its MORE like YOUR guilty UNTIL proven otherwise. No idea of what evidence vs. opinions are. Come on, Alan. All of you. The juror said he recants his verdict as he wasnt shown all the evidence. Last time I watch this show!! She has never been charged in the murder of her 6 year old son Devon, who was also stabbed to death the same night. Copy that. I hope they are finally going to expose all that evidence against him. Because I refuse to let them get away with not investigating or exposing Darin? know what to do about that, so you know what they did!???? Had been following with books and trial transcripts. Then theres the issue of the lead detectives pleading the 5th amendment on the stand with regard to taping the birthday party at the graves. I know that if she gets out they will just charge her with her other sons murder and try harder to mislead/explain things like the sock Im sure her life is over either way. If one can be convicted of perceived character, that lady needs locked up. The Court finds that the affidavits are not affirmative evidence of Applicants innocence. Just because Susan smith was a monster doesnt mean every woman is. What the hell was her reason for planting a sock? Who is protecting and lying for Darin? Lynda Im not the one supporting a baby killer. I think the authorities new it wasnt Darlie who did it.They are either protecting Drain or someone known to them.No woman,even a crazy one will cut her neck because of the scar it would leave.Every thing I have read says,someone else is guilty! Her son Drake had leukemia and Darlie could do nothing to help him. He had the case for less than three months and the experts that were hired before he took over the case were ready and willing to testify for Darlie. So you slander people for using fake profiles when you have been using fake profiles for years? I see you. It took many years of requesting her help before she finally looked at the case & decided to take it. Wake up my fellow Texans. First of all, those idiot cops and prosecutor will NEVER, EVER admit that they are wrong or even could be wrong! Think about it, your an intruder who is assuming that no one is home as there are no lights on and the cars are nowhere to be seen. Roddy honey, considering your spelling and punctuation errors, I dont think you should be criticizing anyones IQ LOL. Your daughter stood at the kitchen sink and stabbed and cut herself. Walking in my neighborhood in the evening delivering a Christmas card. I agree with Nellie. How the hell do you figure that? And if the husband was upstairs why was he never looked at. They now make baby monitors. From my perspective, I saw a woman without a drop of makeup on her pale face. My son died his senior year in college. He was an investigative journalist/editor/author. Now why would Darin have done that if he was innocent and had nothing to hide? Hey Jo Douglas hasnt that cancer eaten you up already yet? I cant think of a crime more vile and repulsive and add to it both sides of Devon and Damons families lie for the psycho bitch that murdered their grandchildren. With the case, now they have to piece it together as if it is all true!! former my states former Supreme Courts Chief Justice. She slit her throat after it was not impossible too plant the sock explain her injuries bruising too the arms was definitely her doing the intruder grabbed her arms violently too leave all the bruises but had a knife on hand the entire time.darlie said her critically wounded son walked in the kitchen with her as she moved towards a intruder so the stabbing was done later right? You have a 4th grade education, and you are too stupid and poorly educated to even understand this case. Instead of whiny TV programs where Darlie plays victim and spins the same old narrative, how about presenting new evidence to the court. Forensic files starts a good lay out, but so much more! Darin Routier has never been investigated. Agreed, shes innocent. If your all so convinced then what could it hurt. Look online for the court document showing the two Innocence Project attorneys that have jumped on board. All the lies he has been telling over the years to cover his tracks are all starting to catch up to him. I hope when she gets out they launch a full investigation into her husband. Do you not understand that if she gets a new Trial the out come will be the same?! Darlie deserves a new trial at the very least. sure keep telling yourself that is not murder!! The fact that families want to sit there, watch it and some walking away gloating shows they are just as barbaric in their thinking as those who killed their loved ones. Jeff Hamm: I was thinking the exact same thing. They are sick and pathetic. Ya know why? Their pride is more important to them than someones life!!! I would like to know what you screens were done on her and the boys? She never confessed. And you know that how? anyone who thinks she is guilty when there is evidence and witnesses to a black car outside there house are complete idiots. Im saying we need to be damn sure. I have never forgotten hearing that and I cant believe that the jury was not allowed to see her injuries. We see that in the political arena the last couple of years. Not every car that drives into a neighborhood & parks is there for sinister purposes. As a mother of two though, I could not imagine loosing my two babies and then on top of it all, getting blamed for it and spending half my life (potentially all of my life) in prison for it. Darin has never been investigated. I believe in reasonable doubt and just following her case she shouldnt have been convicted. The stars may finally be aligning for Darlie Routier, the Rowlett homemaker who was sent to Death Row 22 years ago by a Kerrville jury thanks in part to the sexism and character judgments of male law enforcement officers and Dallas County prosecutors. After cutting herself, she stabbed Damon a second time, inflicting the fatal wound and momentarily set the knife down on the carpet, making the imprint. Darlie Kee, the mother of an Altoona woman on death row in Texas for the 1996 stabbing deaths of her two young sons, has fought for years to have authorities run an unidentified bloody . ?.there was only one person besides the suspect, if their was one, that left that house that night to get help from a neighbor.DARRIN Routier!!! My my, what timing. The 911 call was also not completely shown and the idea that she was setting herself up is completely false when you listen to the whole transcript not to mention investigators never took prints of the boys when they got there which is illegal procedure. For someone who wasnt fighting for her life, she sure as hell had TONS of HUGE bruising all over her arms and legs. Diane Downs blamed carjacker then admitted I have never thought for once that she was guilty. Shame on every single person who did the wrong thing. He is a sadistic killer and a continued threat to women. He just figured he was convicted of the first charge, and claimed innocence..so this one was a freebie in his sick sadistic mind. No matter how close to a major artery, it wasnt cut & she didnt die. The father, Darin had to have helped her. Greg Davis had crucial information that would have proven Darin was more than involved and he with held that from the jury. Darlie Routier: Wrongfully Convicted of Murdering Her Children JustinCase976 Jan 13, 2023 4:38 PM EST 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. He had a 200k target on his back with life insurance and he was the cause of her frustration. I see it as sad beyond words that women are so quick to judge other women and even have them executed for a crime they didnt commit, Ive often heard from jurors and others that he or she looked guilty. Im still waiting for a reasonable answer as to what a guilty person looks like. So again Im asking you what forensic evidence do you speak of? Her husband would have gotten blood on him if he tried unless he was dressed in something from breaking bad. Just wondering if anyone knows if they ever did the testing, or did it come back that Darlie was the only one responsible? Watching the 20/20 episode, I was also embarrassed and disgusted with the juror. It would if you could spell arse. They are not trained medical professionals . They obviously didnt like Darlie and the way she lived her life. I live in Huntsville. The last time I bruised that badly, I was thrown by my horse into the side of a stationary car at quite a speed, I had bruising down my legs that looked the same colour as the bruises on her arms, how would she have done that to herself ? We have both cleaned up our lives and dedicated ourselves to getting the message out to those naive souls out there. Couldnt agree with you more! Why? Non-supporters want to talk about facts but in reality these facts are nothing more than a set of beliefs theyve clung to for almost a quarter of a century. (Not all obviously.) so please dont try to jump on the distance bandwagon and claim that she ran cross country or a marathon to drop the sock to send the police in another direction. Its completely possible that the possible intruder simply didnt drop any blood on the way out? Darlie ambushed two sleeping children then went door to door like she was selling Avon inviting neighbors to a birthday party at a cemetery. Thats why she had to get it out of the house. Darin accused her immediately. It doesnt say Thou shall not kill unless the person killed someone else first. Again, I wasnt there, neither were any of you, I dont know her what happened. That Miss Paris is an idiot or a fool but probably both. I dont mind an educated and thought-provoking debate, but you never find that in the comments anymore. Its beyond crazy when these supporters are mothers and grandmothers, trying to set a baby killer free. Routier, now 49, was 26 when her children were killed. Praying that the right thing will be done! How can her own mother still believe Darin is innocent? One thing I cant get over is why her feet didnt have cuts from broken glass and why people didnt blame her whole family for the silly string tape. Never was. Because Greg Davis pissed in your ear and told you it was raining and now yall have pee pee for brains. Dear Aunt Luann, (and others) It was Glen Mize I know it was him I saw him! The purpose of the PA trip was for Darlies grandparents 50th wedding anniversary/family reunion. They know a staged scene when they see one. The blood spatter testimony of state witness Tom Bevel was key in Routiers conviction. Cameron Willingham Or considering staging. That polygraph was for her defense, but had refused to take one for the police, immediately after the murders she committed. You absolute tool head !! They are assuming that all the injuries came from the one attack, they now know Darin and Darlie had a very serious fight just hours before the murders, so why the hell wasnt he investigated after they learned of this? Im not happy with her defense attorney, either. Most men in Texas death row are executed in under 10 years anf shes been there for 23 years. Watching you crazy ass liars and criminals loose your shit will be icing on the cake. Lead detectives that pled the fifth and a judge with an obvious bias in favor of the prosecution. May have even been someone wanting to frame the husband cause had Darlie died the investigators would have blamed her husband and this may have just been to make him pay for some unpaid debt or jealousy of his beautiful family and lifestyle. Logic would dictate that those who he spoke to were all very questionable characters that werent exactly those who were brand new at breaking laws. She doesnt go around taking cases she isnt completely sure she will eventually win. Yes and the people saying this are serious. Picking the jury is critical, and that one is a total moron. Look at all these pathetic losers trying to work their own shit out by projecting their vitriol onto Darlie Routier/Darlie Kee. There is more to his story and how good business was. People with an IQ over 20 can see she did this and then cut herself. ?This guy was a career criminal who has done this numerous times, knows the system and what evidence police need to convict or trace to them. Darlie has languished in hell for most of her adult life for something I believe she had nothing to do with, but was just another victim of the perp that night in June. Said she didnt go in utility room, yet her blood found there. Never happened. Even that doesnt say she did it. GOD FORGIVE ME BUT thrs JUST THINGS a human in deep pain wud not behave that way . They are safely hidden behind their keyboards and fake names as they bully others with their dramatically stated opinions and distorted facts. Sadly, the topic-at-hand is lost and hardly matters (example from this page, Liberal baby killers using a story to bully and put down a different political affiliation) when the focus should be on the story above. Todays blood spatter expects are far advanced from 25 years ago. In that same letter she mentioned how much she loved her kids and later in her diary admitted she could not leave them and wanted to see them grow up. 1 Texas has the highest number of inmates proven innocent of all the states. At first when we moved here, people would be staring -like families looking at him like they were afraid or he was a piece of shit. Actually I believe she is innocent .. over the years I been pretty spot on about child killers and spousal killers ! Superficial cuts ?? With the same force used on the 2 defenseless children. And you did it for even less. It is clearly evident, with her glamour shots from Death Row. Victoria and others who suggest that we ascertain whether Darlie is truly guilty, necessarily imply a new trial a second chance most death row convicts would welcome. Why a sock? OR because of the insurance fraud scam that he swears he didnt finalize ; we will prob never know what all he was involved in and how deep water it got; either way ; its a felony that he was staging. Darlie has always maintained her innocence. Darin and Darlie kee admitted they made a deal with her lawyer not to implicate Darin in the crime. Darin needs to be investigated. Anyone believing she is innocent has not looked at all the evidence. The sock, was planted by her. Its that that was put to a stop. When it comes to an individual losing their life, I think it should be completely proven & not just beyond a reasonable doubt an individual is guilty & sentenced to any prison time & especially death row!!! I hope karma finds that woman. I saw him! Twenty six year old Darlie Routier was on the couch in front of the television with two of her boys. They need to call Detective Patterson out of retirement and investigate him as well. Her along with her supporters cannot and will not ever be able to explain the evidence away. Conflict of interest? Phil Ray. I strongely agree 100% with you Martha Ramsey. When she was just 7 years old, her parents would divorce and she would have to keep it together, be a big girl and a role . . Detectives arent stupid. It is very sad that the REAL killer will probably never be brought to justice because of this sloppy investigation. Were you present at these murders? At least, that's what many people believe about the notorious Rowlett woman now on death row. Anyone who can I dont believe they are any better then any other murderer. If the convictions are indeed accurate the respective states need not be concerned with a review of their work correct? If you really think shes the one that placed that vacuum on the floor like that, I have some beachfront property in Iowa to sell you. . She was convicted of the murder of one of her sons while remaining accused of killing the other. Shes no victim and neither is he. Jo, if theres one thing that supporters and non-supporters can agree on, its the fact that youre batshit crazy. Yup, Prosecutor Toby Shook took her apart on the stand. Thats your contribution to this discussion? Now he acts like he supports her. Again, thank you for your well-stated and thought-provoking comment. Youre sounding like a blowhard POHM. She has suffered more then she should in one life time. Commo! Hey Cruz, I hope you quit putting the emphasis oh the H. Its pronounced winey not HAwiney. . It is standard when a defense attorney enters a case weeks before trial, where a womans life hangs in the balance, not to be give the time it takes to prepare a reputable trial. Yet, I am certain that she did not receive a fair trial by any standard. He has milked and mocked this case for 23 years. Most she should have received is life or life with parole. If you are so sure. Darlie was a beautiful, popular cheerleader, who was born on January 4, 1970, in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Much of what you trained crime scene investigators have written gives so much insight to what Darlie was doing the night of the incident that Im amazed many of you are not in politics or at the very least a psychic. And if I was in that position, I would be the one dead, not my child. They dont see your kids as their own that they want to save. Sad to say he was beyond help at this point. And the defense always having the rush to judgment, tunnel vision, containminated crime scene, junk science, S.O.S. Terry Laber and Bart Epstein had reached conclusions that were very different from Bevels. A deal was in fact made, and Darin was not implicated in the crime. Nobody knows this lady yet youre all willing to convict based on Forensic Files??!! NY IP and TX IP have turned Darlie down. The wounds.
