This case is so scary. It just goes to show how slim the difference between freedom and life in prison really is if someone in your life dies in a way that doesn't produce an obvious and fully supported conclusion. All it takes is for some friends, social media, and the cops who failed in their investigation early on to form a conclusion and the rest doesn't matter.

Why is it so hard to believe that someone who has experienced such loss, couldn't have/ wouldn't have killed themselves? Especially someone who battles anxiety and depression.

Why in the world would you tell someone that she was dead, when there was nothing indicating that?!

I love how people go oh the facts and the investigation shows that it's not him but my gut as I sit a thousand miles away tell me it's him. that's one of the major problems with the brain dead publicly educated people in America
