Deadly Daddy?

[H5N1]

David Hendricks sobs at funeral services for his family in 1983. His wife, Susan (below, right), and kids — Rebekah (below, rear), Grace and Ben — were all found hacked to death in their beds. Hendricks was found guilty but later cleared in the killings.
It was dad's night to watch the kids, so on the evening of Nov. 7, 1983, David Hendricks, 29, bundled his brood into the car for a treat - dinner at the Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater in Bloomington, Ill.

In the eyes of detectives, this all seemed too calm, too accepting for a man whose entire family had just been wiped out by an ax murderer, wrote Steve Vogel in his book on the case, "Reasonable Doubt."

Hendricks noted that police said the killer was probably a burglar, giving details he could not possibly have known unless he had been inside the house. But the crime scene had been sealed off, even to Hendricks.

5. That felony conviction slow you down?

2. Even the judge in the FIRST case where he was found guilty...

... was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. And said so.

There must be more to this for a judge to say that. I think you don't have the whole story.

4. I think he fooled them

Unless the facts presented are not the facts, I think he is
a world class 'salesman.'

6. You are certainly welcome to that opinion, and you may be right..

... however, it takes more than suspicion, or even PROBABLILITY, to convict someone.
