Darlie Routier

We have to be able to talk about our disagreements and figure out where we stand.

With all that being said, I want to tell you about the case of Darlie Routier, who is currently serving a death sentence in the state of Texas.

Two little boys were brutally stabbed to death, and their killer was their own mother.

Oh, my God, my babies are dying.

It's freaking me, my little baby.

She claimed that she was awakened by a man.

We believe that the white male suspect described by Darlie Routier as the man that attacked her and murdered her children never existed.

Darlie,

I already forgot her name.

Darlie Routier.

She's on death row.

So her two sons were murdered.

Yet, because the legal system is agonizingly slow and appeals processes are incredibly convoluted, she remains on death row.

Another case that echoes forensic controversies is Darlie Routier.

She was convicted of murdering her young son in 1996.

Right, a very high-profile case.

I wonder if more taxpayers understood what it actually costs them in dollars to carry out an execution, notwithstanding the shit that could come down the pike if the execution goes wrong, a lawsuit worth hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, but just the cost of litigating for upwards, sometimes, 20, 30 years.

Darlie Routier.

still on Texas death row.

And she was there when I emigrated to the United States in 1995 or headed there.
