Entwistle Guilty!

Of course he is!

Thank goodness the jury could see it, too.

His parents seem as sunk in denial as Lee and Jackie Peterson, though, and their remarks after the verdict are appalling.
Boston Herald story

From his mother:

“We know that our son Neil is innocent and we are devastated to learn that the evidence points to Rachel murdering our grandchild and then (committing) suicide,” Entwistle’s mother, Yvonne Entwistle, said in a rare public statement. “I knew Rachel was depressed. Our son will now go to jail for loving, honoring and protecting his wife’s memory.”

What evidence points to Rachel having done this? Please be specific. If you knew that Rachel was depressed, why didn't you help her? Tell your son to help her? Tell her parents? Too bad your scum son didn't love, honour and protect HIS WIFE! Then he wouldn't be in the position he's in. Mostly, he could have protected her by staying in England and messing around with all the cheap hookers he wanted to. Rachel and Lilly would still be alive. Look, I can understand your not wanting to believe he's guilty, but you were there in the courtroom. You heard the same evidence the jury did. Don't you think you might be the teeniest bit biased? Think back on how he acted as a child. Did you let him get away with lying to you? Did you teach him that he is "special?" Did you cover for him when he got in trouble? Did he get out of trouble by saying, "I love you, Mummy...it was an accident," while batting his lovely long eyelashes at you?

From his father:

“We knew Neil would not receive a fair trial,” he said. “We will continue to fight for our innocent son with the hope that one day justice will prevail.”
He also said he hoped that his “little granddaughter Lilly may rest in peace.”

You KNEW? How is that, Mr. Entwistle? Because the system is different from the one back home? And how do you know he's "innocent," Mr. Entwistle? Because he told you? Now, be honest (if possible), and tell us just how your son's desperate flight home to the whores he knows and Mummy and Daddy, without even calling 911, is the action of an innocent and honourable man. This boy was not brought up in the English ideal of personal responsibility, courage in the face of adversity, and honour above life, now was he? You, sir, are a fraud, and certainly no gentleman. If, indeed you actually believe Lilly's mother killed her (and I don't see how you could), don't you think she is as in need of prayer as Lilly?

Obviously, the acorn has not fallen far from the oak.

And anudder thing (as Rose used to say), many women feel post-partum depression, but very few commit crimes. Using the post-partum depression excuse for any sort of crime is a crock. It's like blaming a glandular condition for being overweight. Yes, there are cases of overweight caused by glandular disorder, but they are extremely rare. People use it as an excuse. To attack Rachel in this way is outrageous. The jury didn't buy it, and neither do I.
