No, I did not contradict myself, and on appeal, the insurance money aspect of the mitigating circumstances was thrown out ($5,000 split 3 ways is not worthy of a murder.). It was not a reason for a mother to ask her roommate (again it was the flipping roommate and not a flipping "friend of a friend&quot to murder her son. Two, I fill out paperwork in front of those I live with all the time and share bits and pieces about my life. You don't? How odd.

Most importantly, and the main fact you are messing up: "You would let your 4 year old go with a friend of your roommate --- someone you do not live with???".

Deep Breath...

Read the stories and the documents:

SHE DID NOT LET HIM GO WITH A "FRIEND OF A FRIEND." HER ROOMMATE TOOK HIM TO SEE SANTA, PICKED UP HIS FRIEND, WENT TO TWO STORES AND LUNCH AND THEN TOOK HIM OUT TO THE DESERT AND SHOT HIM... THE ROOMMATE SHOT HIM. THE ROOMMATE TOOK HIM. THE "FRIEND OF A FRIEND" WAS PICKED UP AFTER THE ROOMMATE TOOK HIM.

In answer to your question, and as I have stated previously, I WOULD and I HAVE let my roommate take my child. If I didn't trust a roommate, I wouldn't be "rooming" with him. Judge me all you want, but I hope you don't often get called for jury service. There was not one shred of reasonable evidence against this woman besides the fact she gave birth to him and pulled a burial policy out on him...which is something smart parents do. Her mistake? Choosing roommates to trust.

It's so disgusting what they have done to Amanda and Raffaele. Their innocence is beyond dispute IMO StevieM Mar 2015 #14

Well, then prosecutorial misconduct has let a killer free, so it's still the prosecutors fault McCamy Taylor Mar 2015 #19
