Hi, John! Regarding this: Westerfield said "As far as I'm concerned, my life's over."

...is it possible that DW felt he was dead, either way? As if he was involved in something and was in waaaay over his head (not murder, though)? I'm thinking the type of thing that, if you told the police about other people who were involved, your life wouldn't be worth diddly when you were back out on the street...kind of like being in the Mafia.

I think that's the best explaination for why DW did not (and is not) telling all. To a 50 yearold man all the possible sentences seem pretty much the same, 20 years for accessory, life for murder or death for murder. They all mean his going to die in jail. His only hope now is a reversal or new trial, a reduction to accessory won't help much.

Yeah, kinda like what Brady was supposed to have said to DW, "We know what you are about"? Or something on that order.
