the only real announcement to be made today is the state will be seeking the death penalty in this case. davis would only try darlie for damon s death, since victims under age 6 qualify for the death penalty. the reason the state tries for only one murder is if she s found innocent, they can try her for the second one. and that s a way for the state to load up a double barrel shotgun. given the media circus in dallas, the trial was moved to to the small, conservative town of kerreville, texas. why that was agreed to is unfathomable to me. richard mosty, second chair on darlie s defense, was raised in kerrville. doug mulder always says to me. he says, mosty, if i ever get murdered, i want you to promise that my murderer will get tried in kirk county. on january 6th, 1997, darlie s trial began.
