If it wasn't bad enough to kill one's own children but in such an incredibly brutal and hands on way..

Thanks for drawing my attention to that one; never heard of that story before. A few interesting twists at the end (though there's obvious issues with a burglary/staged burglary suggestion) and the story also made mention of physical fights between the couple which could have explained the bruising (plus, tellingly, it wouldn't have been in her husband's best interests to admit that he was the source, especially since, for a long time, he's been convinced of her innocence).

Wouldn't mind seeing another trial to see what the story is behind that mysterious fingerprint, but yeah, the overwhelming weight of evidence going the other way, plus her bizarre (to put it mildly) behaviour afterwards, suggests that the correct verdict was reached.

Also, judging by some of the comments under the story, as well as related YouTube videos, I reckon this thread could see another wave of international nutters signing up with BigFooty.

And I for one welcome our new international overlords...

A very interesting podcast on the case:

Debunks a lot of the myths about the fingerprints etc.

She is guilty as hell.
Likely she did it as she was suffering from depression and on diet pills which can make you do some funny things.

The jury didn't see the pictures of her defensive wounds and injuries. There's also an unidentified bloody fingerprint with an unknown male's DNA in it.

She was convicted on the boys gravesite birthday party covert video where she was chewing gum, laughing and spraying silly string. Tbh it was shocking, even repulsive but it doesn't prove she killed her kids?

There's a really good analysis in this pod.

There was also bloodstained sock found 150m from the Darlie home that had both boys DNA on it but not Darlie's.

If you look at the bruising on her arms which extend all the way up to nearly under her armpit, IMO she couldn't have done it herself. This is classic defensive bruising and wounds.
