There were two strange men standing on her front porch. Yet I am supposed to believe that this so-called materialistic woman, who took pride in her home and her belongings and was by all accounts a fastidious housekeeper, willingly chose to spill blood all over that beautiful white carpet? Waddell testified that when he first pulled up to the house, he saw a man (Darin Routier) coming out of the front door into the yard. I honestly have no idea. Would this reopen the case? JustinCase976 (author) on December 10, 2019: Vanessa Potkin and Bryce Benjet of the NY Innocence Project are indeed involved in her case. She sat down on the floor right where she was standing. Q. When you wake up, you may know intellectually what happened, but have no memory of the crash itself. He may not have been able to see the ambulance from his bedroom window. 6) I'm not even going to argue about the letters. I thank you for the compliment; I make every effort to be as accurate and detail oriented as possible. The Rowlett PD was under tremendous pressure to solve this case and solve it quickly. Darin and Neal had planned this for months against Darlie. You remember practically every word that Mrs. Routier said to you, but not much that Sergeant Walling said; is that right? DNA evidence in her case is being tested this. Since her husband worked nights and often came home during his break to check on her, she was not unduly concerned even when the "jiggling" at the door continued. ;). When it comes to criminal investigations, there are three main indexes utilized by law enforcement: offender profiles of those convicted of crimes; arrestee profiles of suspects, and forensic profiles collected from crime scenes. And if this is where Darlie cut her throat and stabbed herself in the arm, where is all the castoff blood? The stroke, the medication, the horror movie: none of this means that two men with a knife didn't try to break into her house that night. Charles Linch, a trace evidence analyst, testified that the bread knife from the kitchen was used to cut the screen. Let's think about this claim rationally for a second; do you really believe that Darlie would attempt to smother Drake, in broad daylight, in front of two witnesses? She effectively communicated within the first few seconds that she and the children were injured and needed help. What I do fault him for is his perjury and outright character assassination of Darlie during his testimony. We also have to wonder what was stricken from the actual record, but still made it to the ears of the jury. This time, one of them had what appeared to be a screwdriver or knife. It's entirely possible that the only noises were grunting and some muffled screams. Why, it's all RELATIVE, of course. That is when Gorsuch saw Darin and Waddell outside, at 2:40 am. I know that someone will likely make the argument that even if Arkansas and Dwayne did break into a house and stab young children in the Dallas area in June of 1996, who's to say that there wasn't a similar crime that was unrelated? To hear them tell it, Darlie was unemotional with a flat, disinterested affect. No, she most certainly didn't. James Cron, a retired "crime scene analyst," arrived at the Routier home around 6:00 am. If you don't, I can't help you. I swear these maggots have cancer of the brain eyes and heart because they cant think see or feel symapthy for poor Darlie. So many questions too many coincidences. Shaking my head. And then I directed my attentionshe pointed to the garage, and told me that somebody had ran out into the garage. Routier's 911 video of the . I believe you're right on the money as far as why it looked like there was "clean up" in the sink area. 7) Blood under the glass and vacuum--now we're getting somewhere. I would have told them to go pound sand too. It should be noted that two sponges were collected as evidence from the sink area; there was no blood found on either one. The transcripts had to be recreated from the original erroneous transcript and an incomplete set of audio tapes by people who were not even in the courtroom during the original trial. Wouldnt a new investigation begin? None of these areas appear clean. A Dallas County judge has admitted two lawyers from the national office of the Innocence Project to the case. In truth, Darlie did not pick the music and did not know the song would be played, but the jury did not hear this. Even if he saw her get off the couch and follow him through the kitchen, he knew it was time to get the hell out of there, the quicker the better. In one account, she fought with the intruder. Hmmmm. Of course, she didn't do that, because she knew full well the baby was fine. Also, Darlie was probably fighting and struggling. Drake preferred to sleep/nap with his face and head covered. Ah that makes a comment I saw on Facebook make sense now. The 2021 DNA came back with "foreign eligible profile" has turned up, that sample is to be sent to Acadiana Criminalistics Laboratory in Iberia Parish, La., to determine if it matches the profile of anyone in the national DNA database. The print is then scanned and entered into the system. Darin's Jaguar was broken down and was not parked in its usual spot in the driveway. In early 1998, Karl was in jail reading The New Yorker magazine when he came upon an article about the impending execution of Karla Faye Tucker. Almost all of her other entries were upbeat and positive, with Darlie remarking on how blessed she was, but the prosecution was not interested in those entries. Their reasoning for this conclusion included the following factors and pieces of evidence, some of which, admittedly, did not look good for her: 1) A stab wound to Darlie's right arm that went to the bone (she is right-handed). Internal job & corruption = recipe for a death row disaster. She had written letters to friends and family members while in jail, and these letters were read by jail officials, copied, and sent to the prosecution. SMH. I believe it ALL happened. TWELVE DAYS! JezMyOpinion from The South on August 29, 2019: Fern, omg, what are you smoking? Please do not hate me or think in any way that this is your fault. However, after reading all of the incident reports from the guards on duty that day, the affidavits of the inmate witnesses, and his three prior suicide attempts, I am satisfied that his death was indeed a suicide. Okay. Okay. I don't see where either Darren or Darlie ever said that. But Judge Tolle overrode this. I don't think any one of us can predict exactly what we would or would not do under those circumstances, and I pray none of us ever has to find out. JustinCase976 (author) on December 11, 2019: You know what, Melia? I do not doubt Gorsuch's testimony; to me, it proves that when he saw Darin and Waddell go into the house, it was several minutes after Waddell first arrived. The purpose of this database is to link crimes to other crimes and offenders. They had the nurses pass around various photos of Darlie's injuries and the crime scene, but they also slipped Devon's and Damon's autopsy photos in with them. 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. I see. To this day, they cannot prove that Devon was attacked with the same knife, and many speculate that there were indeed two intruders in the house that night, one who brought his own knife and one who used the butcher knife from the kitchen. Guilters have been quick to dismiss Rickels as a "lying lunatic" or a "brain damaged stroke victim on a cocktail of drugs.". Sung by a Black man? At the time of his death, Devon weighed 46 lbs. Let's say that Waddell is correct when he says that he saw a man come out of the front door and into the front yard when he first pulled up. If you're familiar with this case, you already know that a fingerprint, State's Exhibit 85-J, was discovered at the crime scenefound on a glass coffee table behind one of the sofas. If she was laying on the couch, and a man with a knife mounted her, the first thing anyone would do would be to raise their arms up defensively, thus accounting for the black-and-blue bruising up and down her arms. Specifications: Darlie Routier House. :/, yea i get why they went to a psychic especially when desperate for info. However, since Harrell was an integral part of the defense team and had been sitting in the courtroom throughout the trial, any testimony from him fell under the "Rule of Evidence," meaning that because he was able to hear what other witnesses had said, he was not permitted to take the stand. JustinCase976 (author) on February 28, 2020: I didn't know that but that definitely raises an eyebrow. There was no investigation of Darin. The software will then compare that print to all other prints stored in the database. Darlie Routier Net Worth: At the time on her conviction she had some credit card debt and they were behind in their mortgage. WowI never really considered the possibility that perhaps Darin arranged it so that the "burglars" would come in when the family was in the house. I think if Darlie and Rebecca chuckled at her when she leaped to "save the baby" it was due to the melodramatic manner she displayed. Poor John Haglerwe would stand there and make these eloquent and long-winded arguments and the judge would listen patiently, knowing all the while he was going to overrule him. Okay. Could you tell us what that conversation was? Conclusion: The fingerprint left in wet blood belonged to one of the killers, not to Damon. Attorneys for convicted killer Darlie Routier having old evidence tested again Routier, Darlie Lynn Photo credit Texas Department of Criminal Justice By L.P. Phillips, NewsRadio 1080 KRLD December 17, 2021 3:53 am Attorneys for convicted killer Darlie Routier are having old evidence tested again in an effort to try and prove Routier is innocent. I have read Clemmons's article, although it has been quite some time now. Pleading the 5th amendment seemed to be a recurring theme in this trial. False. He loved to cut things and show off with his knife. So, Darlie attempted to clean up the sinkwith what? Everything that points to Darlie's guilt is in the transcripts." So there you have it; all of the reasons why I do not believe Darlie Lynn Routier is guilty of murdering her children. Please do not try to tell me that the print was Damon's; the DNA blood map clearly shows that the child went nowhere near the glass table where that print was located. I think it's just plain silly and not worth even considering. New evidence may allow former Lubbock resident Darlie Routier to walk free after being on death row for the last 12 years. It is estimated that there are over 13 million offender profiles, more than 3 million arrestee profiles, and 840,000 forensic profiles in the system as of 2018. Yeah nice fantasy theory but it'll never hold up in court. Like cortisol, these hormones disrupt the process by which the brain collects and stores memories. He also claims that Darlie described to him how she struggled or fought with the intruder by the kitchen bar, but that conversation never took place. Guilters claim that those tears were the result of her being "caught in her own lies.". Q. The Routier's Home at 5801 Eagle Drive: Devon and Damon called it "The Home Alone House." The main focus was on Devon, who was not breathing. It is my understanding that recent testing of the night shirt revealed an unknown DNA profile. Defense attorneys have fought for years to obtain court approval for DNA testing of the blood spatter evidence that was found throughout the lower floor of the Routier home, but progress on the federal court case has been on hold for more than a decade. Do you have the links to the criminal's mugshots? When Darlie began to scream for Darin, he ducked into the darkness of the formal dining room, where he waited for his chance to make a break for it. Q. When you have a baby under a year old that sleeps in the same room with you, you never quite slip into that deep, restful sleep. Well, after you told her to apply the pressure, and she sat down. Yeah .why wouldnt he inquire the same peeps to help again only 3 years later. Did Darlie get a fair trial? She was first tried in the media, then she was tried in the court of public opinion, and, finally, she was tried in a courtroom. She claims an intruder entered her Dallas area home in June of 1996, stabbed two of her children, and attacked her. Darlie Kee knows her daughter is guilty or she would have taken up Dr. Phils offer to do his show and let him pay for DNA a few years back. Darlie told police that she heard the sound of breaking glass, and there were glass fragments strewn about the kitchen floor area. It makes sense, right? Then they come up missing? Whatever it is, it must be favorable for Darlie. The case of Darlie Routier is controversial and has the support of the innocence project. About 1520 minutes later, Rickels heard noises again, this time coming from her daughter's empty first floor bedroom. Among the not-so-minor errors: answers of "yes" were recorded as "no" and vice versa; during deliberations, the jury had a question with regard to whether or not Darin testified that he had locked the door connecting the utility room to the garage; the answer they received was that he did. It made them want someone to be punished and added a degree of hostility toward Darlie in their testimony. There were at least a dozen people coming in and out of that house in the early morning hours. I hope its the garage door to a new life for her. If Darlie is only able to relay bits and pieces of what happened, then obviously there is certain information, perhaps vital information, that is missing. The detectives were not called by the state to testify; it was the defense that put them on the stand. He would have had no way of knowing that Bevel would directly contradict what he had told the defense team. Darlie's Pathfinder was parked in the street; it would have appeared as if no one was home. I did point this out in a comment, but the author chose not to publish the comment. She grasped onto what they told her like a lifeline, desperate to believe that the real killer would be found. The 6th of June 1996 2021 8:30:09 GMT -5: Total Posts:. You don't think its at all suspicious how her story kept changing? Because it couldn't be matched to anyone elseand with Cron's statement that it "could" be a juvenile printit suddenly became proof positive that Damon must have left that fingerprint. But tell me, what does Rickels have to gain from falsifying information to police or perjuring herself on the witness stand? There's no need for the good doctor to facilitate any DNA testing, either; that's ongoing as it is. When she wrote those letters, she fully believed that what she was saying was true. Because they were more than likely caused by two different people, with two different knives. In my opinion, it is neither. Did you look at the clock when you woke up? In order for blood to be under the glass, Darlie would have to be bleeding before she tossed the glass onto the ground, right? Wonder where they went? There could be any number of reasons why blood could have appeared to be wiped away, but please don't expect me to believe that an actively bleeding woman made a half-hearted attempt to clean up blood and then just gave up. Sponges and cleaning products beneath the sink were inspected, and not a drop of blood was found on either. No, I don't feel as if the nurses were part of a conspiracy. Now, when I look at the pictures of the sink, I see: the left side, the right side, and the front. Despite her claim of innocence, she was tried for the death of the 5-year-old, sentenced to death and is currently on death row. Darin had appliedand been turned downfor a $5,000 loan on June 1st. Thank's Adele. I do not fault him if his memory of the events is not accurate, linear, and chronological; under those chaotic and traumatic circumstances, I would not expect them to be.
