69: Darlie Routier- Reasonable Doubt? Part 2

Darlie Routier was convicted of stabbing her 5 year old son Damon to death in 1996. She has never been charged in the murder of her 6 year old son Devon, who was also stabbed to death the same night. Darlie has always maintained that a masked intruder is the perpetrator of this heinous crime, but police say the evidence points to her. Darlie was sentenced to death for the murder of Damon Routier.    But is there enough reasonable doubt in this case to warrant a second look at the evidence? Is there enough proof that Darlie murdered her own children?   A HUGE thank you to Sloane, who researched and wrote this episode.
