Southwest, which has a zero-tolerance drug policy, fired Kemal in June after she testified in the nationally televised murder trial.

Southwest didn't catch Denise using, exactly... so it isn't exactly zero-tolerance?

The ONLY reason, that she was rehired, was because of the union...wait til someone tries to fire one of the new airport security screeners, it'll take years and in the meantime that person will be responsible for YOUR safety.

We're supposed to applaud her for telling the truth, finally. But she's suppose to get a pass on breaking the rules. She probably signed something that says she can be terminated for drug use. The probably don't catch alot of the attendants in the rest room taking a few puffs. You know that joint can last weeks that way.

Maybe the FAA should look in to this.

#84...She told the truth, or her version of it, because they caught her in the lies.

She has so little respect for the truth, I sure wouldn't want her working for my airline!

Here's a question: Why was the FBI involved in the initial search of DW's home? Remember Agent YOUNGFLESH, he found the kiddie porn.

SW needs to hear from more than a few irate customers about how SW sacrificed zero-tolerance and passenger safety with union agreements and special favors. It's O'Reilly time.

Besides, after O'Reilly's little grandstanding act the other week against Feldman......

If David was found Not Guilty I bet she would not have gotten her job back...

I could have found DAW guilty, but for the bug-guys and timeline.

The problem with the evidence against Westerfield is that most of it lends itself more towards pointing to innocence than guilt.

Motor home- The fingerprints, the two hairs and one drop of blood on the carpet and a spot on the jacket, all are compatible with a brief visit made to use the bathroom sink to wash out a cut or maybe she wanted to use the bathroom and wasn't aware she was bleeding. Jacket is in bathroom, possibly left there to dry.

The MH was in front of his house to be loaded for trips and to be cleaned afterwards. It's reasonable to assume he didn't close and lock the doors while loading and unloading MH. She had plenty of opportunities to enter MH.

No evidence of rape, the dogs should have picked up the scent of a girl on board for days. The fibers are not even worth mentioning since no source, except to say that it is hard to believe that fibers could be implanted in the headboard and yet no hair is found.

Where is she bleeding from, that it would get on his collar? Her mouth? There should have been alot more blood if he had knocked her teeth out. The absence of teeth seems to show that she had been dead a while before she was dumped at Dehesa. Giving them time to fall out. Like say a week to ten days.

The hairs in Westerfields bed show that the sheets weren't cleaned and evidence of rape should have been present. Lacking evidence of rape, an innocent explanation for the hairs is a reasonable assumption.

His weekend trip is evidence of a guy alone for the first time, trying to figure out what to do, than that of a murderer. Driving back home to fill his water tanks and coming back briefly that afternoon makes no sense, if guilty.

The porn is up to the individual to assign significance. To me the child porn is balanced by the small amount compared to the rest of it. I would think a true pedophile would have more. But that's my bias.

Gee, I haven't even got to the bug guys yet.

Yeah, the bugspurts definitely have a different time frame than that of Duhseck.

If Duhseck ever uses bug evidence again, then he should be disbarred for "lying" to DW's jury, just like NO'Reilly contends Feldman did.

I agree... Didn't he call it "junk science"?

He must not have thought of it as junk science when he hired two them. I've been over their methods and calculations, slight difference in assumptions between them made no difference to their mutual conclusion. DW couldn't have dumped the body.

The biggest junk science, was the mummification "expert" who claimed Danielle was dead before she went missing! That bit of "evidence was brought in just to show that some "experts" are total idiots. It worked.
