Could someone tell me why the judge....MUDD...requested that Westerfield family members not be shown.

Now I can understand why DW would not want them shown....to spare them further attacks from the media, etc.

But as we have witnessed....Brenda, et al, make the most of their appearances, playing to the cameras....especially Damon.

I thought DW's sister's testimony heartbreaking.

Even off camera, you got a real sense of a lovely, caring person.

O f course, Brenda had to take over that spotlight too.

They had a right to be in the court room. But they should have kept silent. I think they are doing every thing they can to keep David from getting an appeal.

This is what I call be tried by the media.

He didn't.

The family members of Westerfield that took the stand were not shown on camera at the request of FELDMAN.

Judge Mudd granted the request.
