  2. Don’t you just love a hot take from the daily mail to start the day

  3. The chances of this telling of events being true is too small to be considered reasonable doubt.

    It could well have been an accident, he grabbed it in the heat of the moment without realising it was a knife etc, but his behaviour afterwards makes that seem implausible.

  5. Not shocked, known a few people abused by their dads/step-dads and the mum has just completely sided with the man. Some people just hate their own kids. Very sad.

  6. Daily Mail…ofc they would post this. Imagine if the murdered was black or had a different nationality…

  7. It’s how deep the blade went inside of her that makes me completely disbelieve their story.

    If I poke someone with a pen and it pushes about a mm into the skin. I could say I was playing.
    If the pen was poking out both sides of the hand then it was clearly malicious.

    The knife was plunged into her chest.

  9. Imagine, this happens to you and the person who brought you into the world, the one person who you should be absolutely able to trust completely abandons you. Shame on her.

  12. No one gives a shit whether you blame him or not. Judged and decided. Got what he deserved. Finished

  13. So the knife that killed the girl went 4 inches into her chest and pierced her heart.

    The mother insisting that the dad is innocent didn’t actually witness the event, also aside from that the dad and daughter were playfighting, the story about what happened has changed several times from “he threw the knife at her thinking it was a spatula” to “she ran into the knife while it was protruding off the edge of a table”.

    Pathologists say that the cut couldn’t have been made by anything other than someone firmly holding the knife in their hands.

    So I guess we might never know what really happened, but saying that he has reasonable doubt of his innocence in this case is a stretch.

  15. That’s nice but I blame them both for being terrible parents and people.

  17. Unfortunately this more common than you think. One parent does something terrible and their partner then backs them up doubling down on the narrative. I mean come on in what rationale scenario are you pretending to stab your child with a real knife. That is endangerment and negligence at the top of the iceberg. Often in cases of family abuse, the partner will side with abuser due to the power dynamic driven by controlling behaviour or just ignorance that they believe their partner couldn’t possibly do that despite the evidence suggesting otherwise.
