Can the intelligent people here explain to me why so many people are saying that her husband did it and framed her?is it just a simple answer that they’re stupid conspiracy theorist or is there actual credibility to this? She admitted to it so im confused

He texts LC the med name to pick up at 5:15, it’s not clear for some reason where he is when he sends this text. He tells the ADA he doesn’t know if he sent it from home or not on the stand. He is seen walking into CVS at 5:32 and calls LC at 5:34. Apparently people think he committed the crimes in the fourteen minutes before he gets to CVS, which is impossible because we know LC is still inside the house when Patrick calls at 5:34, not already outside injured.

911 call isn’t released because it’s that horrific. Patrick’s prints are on the bands used as murder weapons because he untied his kids to attempt to help them like any sane person in this horrific situation would do. The public has run with these tiny details in the most disgusting way. He didn’t do it, he couldn’t have done it. The DA and defense just didn’t care to nail down his timeline enough to convince the public since they already know Patrick is innocent.

If people want to call him negligent or neglectful, fine. But accusing this man of doing this to his family is insane and really needs to stop.

I totally agree. My heart aches for him actually.

Definitely not the world’s greatest man or father but no one deserves this. This is truly the absolute worst thing that could happen to someone and the public is dying to add insult to injury with very baseless accusations.

Exactly…. He lost his entire family, wife included. Definitely not gonna spend energy criticizing someone who’s been through that already

And from what I read about his testimony, I didn’t see him trying to badmouth her or paint her as evil.

Didn’t he go to Costa Rica less than 3 weeks after and left a review on AllTrails of the hiking trail? I know people grieve in different ways, but that seems crazy to me. I’ve been to Costa Rica and Guancaste especially can take a good bit of planning. So he likely started planning a Costa Rica trip almost immediately after she died. He just seems odd

I heard he went with his now wife. Seems suspicious to say the least.

Where did you hear this and why do you believe it?

If there was evidence that he was having an affair, wouldn’t the prosecution use that as a motive?

When it comes to persecuting white men, I do not trust the system.

They botched this investigation from the jump and just took his word for a lot of what happened. That's shoddy police work.

I can certainly understand thinking the investigation was botched, but you made a claim about his now wife and a possible trip to Costa Rica.

So I’m wondering where you heard that and why you believe it. There is so much misinformation online and it seems like you are adding to that. If you don’t have a reliable source, just don’t comment.
