What cases are you split 50/50 on?

[wiseguy182]

Most of the time, I will lean one way or the other. Other times I will believe that somebody is 100% guilty/innocent. But every now and then I find a case where I'm split right down the middle. It's pretty rare, but it does happen.

For me, the one that sticks out in my mind is the Larry Race case. There are so many reasons why he could be innocent, and so many reasons he could be guilty. A few in each category:

Why he might be innocent: A similar incident had happened the year before with his daughters and he was successful in towing them to safety. Also, a check on the boat revealed that it would have intermittent starting problems, which would explain why Larry and Debby couldn't start it initially, but started for Larry when he got back on the boat.

Why he might be guilty: The slash marks on the bottom of the raft are unexplained. Was it because they were cut or was it because they hit some rocks? Also, if he did have two liferafts, why wasn't the first one found?

So.. what cases are you split 50/50 on. Also, what do you think about the Larry Race case?

I think he did kill his wife. I think they said that the slash marks on the individual chambers were most certainly made with a knife. Also, I just don't believe him when he says that he accidently returned to his broken down boat because he thought that it was another boat that could offer help. He then was able to start the boat and save himself. I find it very hard to believe that even if there could be intermittent promblems.

Darlie Routier

The school bombing case.

Also the fertility statues.

And Resurrection Mary.

Plus anything presented by Keeley Shaye-Smith, walking toward the camera and saying, "That's right, Bob."

I need to see each of those many more times to form an opinion one way or another.

Easy - Dr. Jeff Macdonald. Although I lean towards innocence its still one where you can look at it one way and say "he's innocent" and another way and see he's guilty as sin.

I tend to agree with you, but unfortunately, Bill Wacker croaked several years ago, leaving this mystery permanently unsolved. As I said in another post, this is how the Wacker case should have been handled in retrospect:

1). Make Bill Wacker submit to intensive questioning while under the influence of Sodium Pentothal. There should be at least three different evaluations, conducted by professional, FBI and military interrogators. All sessions must be recorded and must subsequently undergo voice stress analysis.

2). Have Mr. Wacker submit to at least 3 different, independently administered polygraph examinations, and at least one Brain Fingerprinting session. Note: numerous studies exist proving polygraph exams are astonishingly accurate when administered by a competent examiner.

3). Have Mr. Wacker implanted with an RFID microchip, so that if another incident were to occur, his actions at the time may be heavily scrutinized. The chip must be embedded in a sensitive area, such as the testicles, to avoid tampering. Should he be absolved, the chip would be removed immediately.

Should Mr. Wacker pass all of these tests, he could most certainly be declared innocent of all charges, thus removing any reasonable suspicion or doubt, not only from his detractors, but Mrs. Wacker as well.

I realize these measures may seem a tad excessive to some, but it must also be remembered that poor Dorothy was subjected to a decade of sheer horror. Surely, if Mr. Wacker truly loved his wife and wanted to clear his name, he would have raised no objections to these procedures.

I'm split 50/50 on Blair Adams. Man, I want to think he was loony and no one was chasing after him, but I don't buy that he could have killed himself the way he died. It's a bit implausible to kill yourself by giving yourself a sharp blow to the stomach.

This is a good question, since there are definitely some cases I watch that I'm completely baffled about. If I can remember any more, I'll post them.

I would definately second the darlie routier case.....I cannot figure it out!

Bob Arceari (sp?)

He could've suffered a heart attack and drowned in the Colorado River, or he could've staged his own disappearance.

He was involved in crime rackets in Arizona.

Yes, that one stumps me also. I lean toward innocence but not with much confidence.

Here is a recent photograph (taken on May 7th of this year) of Tommy Zeigler in prison:
