It's Important To Note....

I thought it important to share this with any of the new readers of my blogs. Those of you that know me and have shared posts with all of us on the Denverpaonline.com site are already aware of the situation and events that have led to many of my posts.

There are people directly related to the families in this tragedy who have not been able to speak for themselves. Some want desperately to avoid hurting others with their opinions and beliefs, but feel so strongly about their beliefs that they wanted them to be shared.
Others have held back out of a desire to not be identified and have unwanted attention heaped upon them.
Others just needed to vent. Or to have someone to talk to.

I have maintained their privacy and will continue to do so.

They have shared not only their beliefs, theories and opinions. They have told me facts.

What was posted as conjecture and a what if? was based in fact.

And that has been borne out time and time again.

I was contacted today by some of the people who have been calling and emailing me, and they wanted to make sure I shared with you all that this hasn't been simply opinion or conjecture.
They passed on the truth. And it has turned out that we've learned even more, even more salacious things the longer the trial has gone on.

Their worst fears were realized. They were hoping that the worst details of the relationship between Mike and Angie wouldn't see the light of day. Especially in open court.
But it's all been necessary in presenting the evidence.

We all have been warned several times to not believe what is said by Angie Funk.

She has made clear comments that call into question her testimony at even the preliminary hearing. And she actively chose to "not remember" most of her interaction with Mike until pressed by DA Steadman.

Hostile witness is putting it mildly.

A cheating husband does not a murderer make, necessarily. That is absolutely true.

But you can tell much about a person from their actions.

If a person will lie about one thing, will they lie about another?

Can a person be considered moral in other areas of their life if proven to be amoral in others?

I believe that knowing a person's choices in given situations gives all a clear picture of what they are capable of.

Each person in this tragedy has to be accountable for their own actions.

No one MADE anyone do anything.

Could Mike have been pushed, goaded, pressured to act?

Absolutely.

But what accountability is there for Angie Funk is she did indeed push him to act?

Where on the spectrum of responsibility does she lie?
