@truecrimetsar: 53 year old Darlie Routier is an American woman from Rowlett, Texas, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of her five year old son Damon in 1996. She has also been charged with capital murder in the death of her six year old son, Devon, who was murdered at the same time as Damon. To date, Darlie has not been tried for Devon's murder. Damon and Devon were stabbed to death with a large kitchen knife in Darlie's home, while Darlie sustained knife wounds to her throat and arm. Darlie told authorities that the crime was perpetrated by an unidentified intruder. During the trial, the prosecution argued that Darlie's injuries were self inflicted, that the crime scene had been staged, and that she murdered her sons because of the family's financial difficulties; the defense argued that there was no reason Darlie would have killed her children, and that the case did not have a motive, a confession, or any witnesses. In February 1997, the jury found Darlie guilty of the murder of Damon, and sentenced her to death by Lethal injection. Two appeals filed by Darlie, who maintains her innocence, based on allegations of irregularities during the trial were denied. Since at least 2018, DNA tests have been ordered multiple times after technology has advanced. As of 2022, the results of these tests are still pending. #fypage #fyp #truecrimetiktok #truecrime #darlieroutier
