What happened to the posters supporting the hot car baby killer? [View all]

There were SEVERAL posters in the first couple threads on this story who were extremely condescending in their disdain for anyone who supported the arrest of the father in this case. They were vocal and loudly proclaimed how the murderer's search history was irrelevant and that we were wrongfully convicting this man in the court of public opinion.

Their voices are curiously absent from the recent threads detailing the mounting, crushingly-overwhelming evidence of his knowledge and his premediation -- evidence of his guilt.

I'm glad that the father gave a statement to police without counsel. He may have gotten away with this if he had invoked his right to remain silent.
