Quote From: janeysbabyAfter viewing the sad program today regarding the young woman that drove her car into her boyfriend, killing him, I'd like to offer a suggestion. Maybe Dr. Phils show would consider contacting Dr. Henry Lee, one of Americas foremost forensic scientists, to review this case. It's possible that forensics can prove what happened the night this boy was killed. Take the emotion out of it and let science discover the truth...and let the chips fall. Either way, both families will have to decide when they will put this behind them and start living again.
Greetings from Australia! Thats the best idea yet!!
Whilst the show has not aired here in Oz yet I have read all the info on the website and am reminded of why I became a scientist years ago. I am now a high school teacher and I think my experience both professionally and personally affords me great insight into this crime. There is No doubt a crime was commited! I would like to have seen more background on the evidence collected but as there was no trial this can be difficult. Crime investigaytion experience and exposure to countless investigations tells me this was no accident (stealing a car, speeding and hit and run are pretty clear indicators of intent!), and my recent experience in high schools has taught me just how manipulative teenagers, especially girls, can be.
When reading some of these posts I was initially angry with those who sypathized with Brandi I now feel she has just manipulated them the way she tried to manipulate the courts and most importantly her family. Kids do some really terrible things and whilst I don't think she should have received a life sentence I do feel 12 years is reasonable.
In closing, to all those who say Daniel's family was overreacting or unreasonable, try to imagine losing your child, forever!! This show was about healing but until Brandi admits fault I don't think either family will begin to heal. After all as Dr Phil says, "You can't change what you don't acknowledge."
