Did Anyone Watch Date Line Tonight?

I am not sure who killed Carol Kennedy. Do you have any ideas?

No! I just finished watching it and I'm more confused than ever. Did the husband do it or not?

I don't think he did it. There is no way, considering the scene of the murder, that he could have killed her without leaving some evidence that he was there. Also, there was none of her blood found in his home, on his bike, or on him. I think it's more likely the tenant did it.

The evidence did not support a guilty verdict. All they had was supposition without any proof to back it up.

Can't believe he was found guilty!

Can't/shouldn't convict without supporting evidence. It's a right that we must preserve in order to prevent innocent people being thrown into jail for just about anything.........

What happened to the right to a speedy trial? Sitting in jail without parole for five years is wrong.

That only applies to the first trial, not appeals. He was tried and convicted, correct? That was his trial. Unless a mistrial is granted, it's all just appeals after that.

It seems so unfair.........and the crazy tenant she had..........maybe killed himself? It is like we all need to make sure we are with someone or keep all receipts so we can have an alibi. Scary. I hate those daughters spent all their money on his defense for nothing. Yet jurors in Florida would have made him NOT Guilty..........I guess it is where you live.

He was in jail five years waiting for his first trial. Nothing at all to do with appeals.

Suppose that someone close to you is murdered and you are suspected. Think what the investigators could make of any email searches you've made, comments you've made, maybe even joking comments, books you've read, tv shows you've watched. How you reacted to the news. G forbid if you didn't ask how the person was murdered, they make a huge thing of that assuming you didn't ask because you already knew.

That tenant had his DNA and Carol's blood on a door handle and they still decided it was the ex-husband.

OMGoodness........I often watch retro Law and Order CI back-to-back two days/evenings a week.......and I'm guessing many people watch the more violent shows.

I know when trials are discussed here, many of us google all sorts of incriminating topics. I know I googled how to make chloroform during the Anthony trial.

I watch Snapped, Forensic Files, Law and Order CI and the British version when it's available On Demand.

I don't think he did it. The tenant had a lot of issues with bad people, but he is dead. So the only one left to pin it on was the husband. These are all intelligent and educated people. I find it hard to believe he would murder his ex-wife for the insurance money, it just doesn't make sense. I hope he appeals and gets a more fair trial.

From the beginning, the police didn't even consider the tenant but decided it was the ex-husband so any evidence pointing elsewhere they just disregarded.

So the man was convicted based solely on the assumption that it must have been him because they could find no other suspects. Admirable.

It seems like cops pick the one they want to pin the crime on and it seems that they get convicted no matter what. I don't think the husband killed her..
