Before or after he torched the house with his children inside?

so, like, we know he killed his kids?

I think he was guilty. But if I were on a jury my vote would have to be not

I would have voted guilty — based on circumstantial evidence. The only thing

And that's the problem. Hard to convict without a body.

The "blood" wasn't very sigificant at all. You can't convict someone for murder

Beyond a reason doubt doesn’t mean no doubt, I often see Mormons especially
