"I lost my young sons Devon and Damon to murder, but it has been impossible to fully grieve their loss because my wife Darlie is on Death Row for the crime. Now I must face losing my soul mate as well, and my surviving son must face losing his mother. We are the victims, yet we will be made to suffer the most.
My wife is innocent. We can't get Devon and Damon back, but we can try to right the wrong that has been done to our family. The truth will set us free."

"Darlie Routier has appealed her conviction and her immediate family, large extended family, and many others steadfastly support her efforts to prove her innocence. "Darlie's biggest fear is to die thinking that people believe she did this," Darin says. "Everybody who knows Darlie loves her. If they can do this to Darlie, they can do this to anyone."Reprinted with permission from Not in our Name: Murder Victims Families Speak Out Against the Death Penalty, a publication of Murder Victims Families For Reconciliation (Barbara Hood & Rachel King, Editors; MVFR
