DYS and the other elements of "the system" exercise enormous and largely unreviewable powers, sometimes for good, sometimes not so much.
If the DA had a shred of evidence, or even reasonable suspicion, that Mr. Burns were guilty, the State would separate his children from him in the blink of an eye. I have assumed from Day One that he MUST either have a bulletproof alibi OR there must be physical evidence which would exonerate him.
Even IF "the system" were inclined to give fathers a break (absurd), just the agony those children would endure were their father to be arrested now would be enough reason to disallow this custodial arrangement.
For whatever reason, I think the State knows he's innocent.

You have it right! I've known Ed for over 20 years. The statements made in order to gain full custody of the children were fallacious. Ed is so distraught over the "guilty until proven innocent" attitude of the folks of Wolfeboro that he is moving out AFTER ONE YEAR. He just can't take it anymore. Someone mentioned that he "must have alot of money." He is on the verge of bankruptcy as a result of this heinous crime with 5 children to support. Someone got away with murder, put a very hard working individual into bankruptcy, deprived 5 children of their mother and is walking around after a year! Can we call this a COLD CASE yet?
