The constant mention of Gangstas Paradise was particularly questionable and obviously tuned to racial prejudice. It was an unfair portrayal of a song that begins with a Bible verse. As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death ..., points out the dead-end life of an urban street tough, and contains not a single obscenity. Instead of being a bad influence on children, the popular song is a cry to end gang violence. It was unlikely any of the jurors ever listened to it, and the tactic was akin to preachers four decades ago railing against Elvis Presley and rock-and-roll. Don Davis Hush Little Babies.......... Verse from Coolios Gangsta Paradise ( This song was played at Devon and Damons Funeral) Power and the money, money and the power, Minute after minute, hour after hour. Everybodys running, but half of them aint looking, Whats going on in the kitchen, but I dont know whats cookin. They say I gotta learn, but nobodys here to teach me, If they cant understand it, how can they reach me? I guess they cant, I guess they wont, I guess they front, thats why I know my life is out of luck Now lets break this verse down a little. Power and the money, money and the power, Minute after minute, hour after hour. This verse represents the power that the financial situation that Darin at ONE time was in complete control of.With his success financially with Testnec Darlie played the part and submitted to the power that that money had.With that security she could play the part, but once that security began to dwindle so did Darlies submission.By 1992, their company had earned them a small fortune. The up-and-coming couple yearned to practice the prestige due them and had a house built in Dalrock Heights Addition, an affluent suburb of Rowlett, adjacent to Lake Ray Hubbard. This community of upper-class businessmen and women bragged crime-free streets and happy families. The $130,000 two-story home of Georgian design resembled a miniature mansion with classic porch, colonial shutters and a working fountain on the front lawn. Complementing their new life, the family boasted a Jaguar, sitting waxed and gleaming in a circular driveway. in 1995 Darins business was very successful, bringing in just over half a million in 1995 Roots of domestic problems surfaced. Celebrants at a Christmas party silently watched as Darlie and Darin argued violently when Darlie danced too many times with another man. There were rumors of extramarital dating by both partners. But, the couple continued to play the surface charade, buying buying, buying. They bought a 27-foot cabin cruiser and a space at the dock to board it at the exclusive Lake Ray Hubbard Marina. Almost $12,000 worth of new equipment was purchased for the flourishing business. The Routiers tax return for the year indicated a gross income of $264,000. With a profit range of 40 percent, the couple netted a little over $100,000.Testnec was losing money and Darin was unable to pay himself the salary he required, nor pay Darlie anything at all for doing the books, which she had let go in her depression. Creditors fell upon them, demanding late bills. On Saturday, June 1, their bank denied them a much-needed loan of $5,000 The Power and the money...was dwindling in early 1996 Everybodys running, but half of them aint looking, Whats going on in the kitchen, but I dont know whats cookin This would represent the mindset of the Darlie Supporter camp.Most supporters will look at things they think others did wrong in the case, Sandra Halsey, Greg Davis. James Cron ETC..they tend to look at the people around Darlie instead of Darlie herself Half of them aint looking Whats going ON In the Kitchen Most of the incriminating evidence against Darlie is found in this area, The clean up at the sink, the blood drops under the sink, the footprints, the knife drop, the glass that didnt cut her feet..the vacuum cleaner but I dont know whats cookin They say I gotta learn, but nobodys here to teach me, If they cant understand it, how can they reach me? I guess they cant, I guess they wont, I guess they front, thats why I know my life is out of luck They say I gotta learn, but nobodys here to teach me................... Supporters in most cases will not correct each other and they let the misinformation flow.If they cant understand it, how can they reach me?They can understand it thats why they do not attempt to reach for the truth because they know if they touch it it will burn their fingers Death lingered in the foyer, but Darlie, Mercedes noted, charged onto the scene seemingly unaware and like a bull elephant, arms akimbo, shouted, Look at this mess! Itll cost us a fortune to fix this shit! Right there where her boys were killed, and thats the first thing she said to me. I put my hands on Darlies shoulders and said, Darlie, look me in the eye and tell me you didnt kill the boys. She looked me in the eye and said, Im gonna get new carpet, new drapes, and fix this room all up. I couldnt believe it.
