Hi hikatz (enjoy your posts too) and thanks kohaladiver. [

Paul, we know that domestic incident murder is real. Still, as the mother of two sons, if someone were to quote that statistic and say it means that MY son killed his girlfriend, I would not believe it was true simply because of a statistic. I would only believe it if I were given definite acceptable evidentiary proof that explained every piece of what happened. Why? Because I know who my sons are, and I know that only a psychotic break or something could snap them like that.
I can tell the Johnson family believes in their son the same way, and they would need more than this to make them believe it.
I have offered empathy and sorrow to the Royal family many times over the last months, just not on this site. On Facebook mostly. I feel intensely for them. I do know that they have had to endure seeing sights that are unbearable, have had to talk about and ponder terrible grisly details, which are not forgotten and never will be. As they have said -- next to that experience, a little online talk is nothing.
I have followed their posts on Brittany, and I think it is clear that if indeed Bo were framed, she would want people to ask questions and not to accept what was stated unless it rang true. She would want the truth to be told. The questions being asked right now about the case are reasonable questions about the evidence and procedure and pieces that donÔt make sense. If further evidence is released that is not questionable, I will accept it. But so far that has not happened.
That domestic violence escalating into murder is common cuts both ways. For that reason, it is a very believable way to turn the police if you are framing up a murder suicide. Because it is common, it will not raise red flags of doubt.
It is not a weird world of fiction to speak of murder disguised as suicide. Murder that is made to look like an accident or suicide or medical condition is as old as the hills, not far-fetched at all. Hanging is right up there with overdose or a gun placed in the hand as a popular way to fake suicide.
There are discussions online of how to differentiate strangling from hanging, but those types of forensics would most likely disappear with decomposition. Besides, hanging can be the actual manner of death. Signs of coercion are also likely to disappear.
Honestly, I would have more faith in the report if the officer had said the body had been there too long to make a determination other than the fact he was hanging. But instead he made definite statements on manner of death and that no one else was involved, and I donÔt see how that is definite after seven months without witnesses or video footage.
