Idk I'm just really hesitant to even believe the "statement of facts" because so much of this seems like she was presumed guilty from the start. I mean go back and read the original statement of facts from any death row murder case that ended up overturned to give you a good example. Kirk bloodsworth Like those are almost always written in such a way that supports the outcome of the case in my experience.

Ralph Wright is another one that comes to mind where there's a statement of facts out there that sounds incredibly damning but resulted in his exoneration after DNA testing.
