Hush Little Babies : The True Story Of A Mother Who Murdered Her Own Children (St. Martin's True Crime Library)

Summary: Left Me Confused
Review: Although I do believe Darlie Routier is guilty of murdering Damon and Devon, this book left me confused. When I started reading it, I was positively sure that Darlie murdered her innocent boys, however a few chapters into it, I would start questioning myself with some of the 'evidence' they were supplying. Then, a few chapters later, I would, again, believe that Darlir Routier murdered two of her children.

In the end, though, the puzzling chapters within Don Davis' book still had me believing that Darlie did this, although I do believe her trial was unjust. Instead of sticking to the facts that lead her to be guilty, they use things that have already been cleared or have been repeatedly questioned. Like Darlie's choice of songs for the funeral-it was simply the boys' favorite song. Yet they never once mentioned the other song-"I Will Always Love You". At my funeral, as of right now, I would like Aaron Carter's "Without You (There'd be No Me" or "Jump Jump" to be there. Hopefully, my folks won't get tried for murder because of that...

Don, please make sure that you are displaying facts that will lead one to either innocence or guilty. Not you're opinions tossed in with ridiculus comments about 'Darlie's huge breasts'.

Summary: An excellent account of both sides of the Darle Routier Case
Review: Don Davis did an excellent job of being fair to both sides. I have studied this case and know that his facts are absolutely true. The second knife that was brought in to kill Devon and the sock 75 yards from the house cannot be explained in a scenario where Darlie is guilty. The prosecutors did not even try. There is an active cover-up and conspiracy that local officials are engaged in. There are many new events that have occurred since the writing of this book. The most recent is the court reporter of the Kerrville trial producing a transcript with massive discrepancies discovered by other court reporters. She then committed perjury to cover it up as so many of Darlie's accusers did as "Hush Little Babies" chronicled. I am certain that ALL of Darlie's friends are certain of her innocence. I challenge anyone who believes that they are a "friend" of Darlie and believes that she is guilty to write me at [e-mail], and give me your true identity.

Summary: Hush up all ready!
Review: I have read many a true crime novel but this one bored me to death! Perhaps I am lacking in symapthy but one minute it seems the author wants to portray Darlie Routier as a mother who killed her two sons, then about half way towards the end makes it like somebody else did it. All and all you might as well watch Court TV. This was pathetic! I had no more an idea of what happened in the beginning than at the end of this book.
