It's Going To Take Some Time. A Long Time....

Someone posted on the Denverpaonline.com site that emotions are running high right now. Some people are experiencing highs and lows that they've never experienced before.

The two camps, Guilty and Not Guilty haven't gotten nasty. They haven't come to blows.
From the internet interaction that we've seen since the murder took place, there has been a question of guilt from the start. It remains. We all may have our own personal gut feeling but none of us knows for sure.
But as the trial continues, we learn of the dirty details. The lies, the confabulations and the strategic deceptions, such as the letter Mike wrote to the Tobias family claiming Jan had had an affair and he was the wounded party.
I compare that letter and his mindset to his making out with Angie Funk behind the funeral home right after Jan's death.
The Dad of four motherless children was behind the funeral home making out with Angie Funk.
If he was heartless and cold enough to want to, why on earth was Angie thinking that was normal?
With all of the questions and the analysis we all have done over the past year, this may end up being so very simple.
Two sociopaths met. Period.
We can't comprehend it because it's not who we are or part of our reality.
I heard a psychologist this week make a comment that a sociopath's thinking doesn't follow the same routes and paths of "normal" people. I believe that.
I can't grasp it, really, but I believe it.
Most of us are still banging our heads against our computer screens. We just can't twist and turn enough to understand what Mike and Angie did. We can bang our heads all day and we're never going to get it. We keep digging for that one, miniscule detail that finally makes us understand or makes it all make sense to us. We'll never agree or condone what they did, but maybe that one elusive detail would give us all an "Aha!" moment.
Friends, we're wasting our time. But we're not at the place where we're ready to give up yet.
The trial is far from over. Facts will be revealed we knew nothing about. The defense will present its case and we'll start all over analyzing it.
If they stick with the randonm intruder theory, we won't hang in for long. That ship has sailed.
There better be some damned compelling evidence to make anyone even consider that for a second.
The defense really has to do nothing in a criminal trial such as this one.
They don't even have to present a case. They don't bear the burden of proof.
But they know that the evidence presented by the DA is compelling at pointing to a logical conclusion.
That is the ONLY place where logic has been a part of this tragedy.
The affair defied logic.
Mike and Angie's actions to this day defy logic.
Randy Funk's behavior defies logic.
Those who want us to all let Angie have "normal" again, defy logic.
But in the absence of concrete forensic evidence, we do have a logical path, thanks to Mr. Steadman.
The world is far fuller of horses than zebras. And the defense has to pull a zebra out of it's hat and convince the jury they can see it.
One plus one equals two. It doesn't equal 45. And that is where our minds would have to go at this point to swallow the defense's claims.
Having the jury return a verdict of guilty will heal no one. It will only balance the scales for those who fully believe in Mike's guilt.
A not guilty verdict will create a much greater reaction.
I pray that for their own sakes, the jury follows the letter of the law. No matter the verdict.
We could be any of the people in this tragedy and trial.
We need to pray for justice and fairness and truth. No matter what it is.
Our human nature wants to see the ones responsible for this, pay. That is just a sense of humanity. And accountability.
A guilty verdict will mean more loss and pain. For the children and the families.
A not guilty verdict will create the same for the families.
Angie Funk is the only one involved that can pull off and live with a "nevermind!"
There are none left.
Jan Roseboro is dead.
Her children will spend the rest of their lives without her.
She wasn't even eulogized and Mike and Angie were making out in the back of the funeral home.
Can you get any colder and devoid of a soul than that?
Unbelievable.
Now, tell me again how Angie just wants some "normal" in her life......
Normal? She hasn't been "normal" for years. And those that keep standing there, letting her get away with it, without even a harsh word or a kick in the ass are either as devoid of morals themselves or they see themselves in Angie.
Perhaps to come down hard on Angie would be coming down hard on themselves?
