Saw this online, thought I would share it here because it's very relevant. It makes perfect sense.
If the police are talking to you, it’s because they suspect you have committed a crime. If they have detained you, it’s because they already have enough evidence to arrest you and they want to see if you will admit it and thus, give them an even stronger case against you.
If they have evidence to arrest you for a crime, they will. If they don’t, they won’t. It’s as simple as that.
Talking to them or not talking to them won’t make a difference! No one has ever “talked his way out of” an arrest. If the police have enough evidence to arrest, they will. If you deny that you committed the crime, they will not believe you. They already have evidence suggesting that you committed the crime. They’ll assume you’re just doing what every criminal does in denying the offense. It will not prevent you from getting arrested.
If the police were as sure as some of you that Justin DiPietro committed a crime---they would not need a body. They would not need a confession. They would need NOTHING more than what they already have (assuming they have anything at all). All of you judges, statement analysts, police officers, evidence technicians, doctors, lawyers, and legal analysts----SHHHH! Every time you type something, you make it obvious why those jobs require both EDUCATION and training. All of you lack training, and a majority of you lack education (as far as I can tell). No offense...
Off Topic: Chelsea Hoffman, of criminal profiler fame, was recently called out for lying about her credentials. Why lie about a degree that you don't have? Especially a Bachelor's degree---Go big or go home...Fraud!!! Check it out...
Well said. I have nothing more to add, except that I wish people would heed your words. Unfortunately, they won't.
ReplyDeleteIt makes perfect sense to me, and I'm not a judge, police officer, evidence tech., doctor, lawyer, or legal analysts.
ReplyDeleteMSP do not have evidense to show or prove that Justin commited a crime.
At this point I don't think they know what has happened to Ayla.
Chelsea Hoffman...thanks, I'll check it out.
If only a criminal investigation was this simple.... Just because Justin has not yet been arrested does not mean that the MSP doesn't have evidence of his involvement in Ayla's disappearance. Yes, circumstantial cases can be successfully prosecuted without forensic evidence, but it is difficult. Why would they arrest Justin or anyone involved prematurely? They may be waiting and working the case until they determine that they have enough to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Justin or one of the other 2 did something with Ayla. They can only try someone for murder once. Does Maine have the law in which a defendant can request a trial within 60 days like some other states? I suggest you read up on the Susan Powell case. LE had plenty of circumstantial evidence of Josh Powell's involvement in his wife's disappearance. It was only after he murdered their 2 children and killed himself that Susan's. family and the public was made aware of how much evidence they had against him. They never arrested Josh because they wanted a body.
DeleteMaybe they do not have evidence because it did not happen. Maybe they are not going to prove that anyone in that house did something with Ayla because you can not prove something that did not happen. Ayla is not in that house. She was taken out by someone. And there is no proof that harm was done to her in that home. So the question is if she was not harmed in the home. Who took her out of there? And why? Who had motive to do something to her? Who did not? Would people be willing to help cover up a murder? How many people would be willing to do that? Would people be willing to help take a child out of a home if they were convinced that child was being abused? And would they continue to cover it up if they continued to be convinced it was true? All just more things to think about.
DeleteI am familiar with the Susan Powell case.
DeleteI can't even begin to compare the 2. However I know you're talking about circumstancial evidence.
It's my feeling that they just don't have much in this case.
Really why do people keep complicating this? You just said it so simply. LE knows what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteIf LE does not have enough evidence by now that Justin has committed a crime after two weeks in that home and 5 months of analyzing it, maybe it is not so far fetched that the crime is that Ayla was simply taken out of the house.
ReplyDeleteLook at the facts:
Lack of evidence. What is a missing child?
No sign of abduction. Except for unlocked window in Ayla's room that was previously locked, is that not a sign?
Front door most likely unlocked.
Neighbor heard dogs bark in middle of night and thought she heard car door shut.
What was his motive?What was so many other peoples motive for covering for him?
Have we seen other people who have shown possible motive for taking her?
When someone commits a crime usually they take steps to cover their tracks. They try very hard to cover up what they have done. Are we seeing that behavior in Justin? Are we seeing that behavior in anyone else in this case?
And last thought: When you are lying your story does not remain the same. And a lie is a lie. It does not matter if it is big ones or small ones. There is a reason for the small lies. They usually are to cover up big ones.
well-written JSTL - and interesting article at the first link, the 2nd link didn't work
ReplyDeleteI agree. The investigation hasn't been concluded, therefore no arrest. Justin was apparently in love with Trista, Trista was apparently in love with Justin. Courtney Roberts, well! It's obvious that her jealously was hitting an all time high. She had every reason to be jealous of Trista and Ayla. Trista was everything she was not. I can only imagine her fury. She is the one that will be arrested when the investigation has ended.
ReplyDeleteYes. Courtney wanted to be a drug addicted/alcoholic, unfit single mother of two kids who lost custody of one, homeless, and engaged to a man in prison with his mother for arson.
DeleteSTOPthelies!
I agree Trista probably in some twisted way was in love with Justin. Not seeing the Justin was in love with Trista part. It was a one night stand. And as far as Courtney goes she is a beautiful, well educated young woman , with an adorable son of her own who still has Justin. What is there to be Jealous of Trista of exactly?
DeleteROFL! This is so laughable that I don't even know how to respond. Are you for real? I'm sure it's every woman's dream to be just like Trista.....LMAOOOOO!

DeleteWhat makes you think that Justin was in love with Trista?
It is apparent though that Trista did want a relationship with Justin. In her words she wanted them to be a family. It is also apparent that just was not working out.
You're right though, Courtney was everything Trista was not.
She has ambition and motivation to become a very productive person in society. To better her life and her child's life. As far as I know she had no substance abuse or mental health issues.
It is also apparent that there was far more jealousy on Trista'a part. We saw that in the text messages to Justin.
So if jealousy is the motive for Aya's disappearance, Trista is the one to look at.
Just curious do you know if Courtney was living with her toddler son with her sister in Portland before this happened? Or is that just a rumor? You know, the sister who was busted for drugs in the home?

DeleteI'm sorry, but that is very stupid reasoning. If Justin was in love with Trista, why is he with Courtney. Why can't he be with Trista if he loves her?
Yeah, Courtney wants to be a drug addict and alcoholic, with no desire to ever do anything with her life. Just keep having babies and live off the state (taxpayers). Boy, I can see how Courtney is jealous of Trista. LOL

DeleteNo, the building has two apartments in it. She had a separate apartment! And why would she have to be involved with what her sister is doing? You're really reaching there! Hey, good try though, NOT!
And hey, you have nothing to say about Trista's drug use while caring for two babies, in a hotel room!!!

So, who would be willing to risk their own life to go to jail in order to keep Ayla away? Or, who thinks they are above the law and took this into their own hands? There is more than one person who knows where Ayla is- And I don't believe MSP is playing a game. What they are doing is coming *down* to the level of the guilty person(s). The criminal; aka the ones playing a game. A game of hide and seek with a small innocent child.
ReplyDeleteLaw Enforcement does not play games with the life of a child at stake. They do however, have tactic that sometimes has to be used strategically to associate with criminals at their level.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree. LE knows what they are doing. And we the public are not supposed to know. That is not our business or our job.
Courtney lives on her own in her own apartment. She did not and does not live with her sister.
