The only parallel I see is that Dusek wanted the Dehesa Road witnesses to testify and Mudd ruled against it. Though I believe it was for different reasons, it was also similar (Exactly the same, but different).

Mudd implied that since their were about 20 witnesses who said they saw the MH and DW at Dehesa Rd, but each saw different motorhomes, at different times, and they were all completely after the fact (after DW had been arrested and him and the MH seen on TV), that their testimony was pretty much 'imagination running wild'. I believe the major point was that they didn't call them in for trial, so they couldn't call them in for penalty phase. (hope I am not getting this mixed up with a similar incident in this

Bottom line is that these witnesses were unreliable and should not have been allowed, and that the phone call on the 15th had no more justification for being used as evidence either, (unless they could provide the actual caller to prove she was alive on that date).

Your question about "if the caller said DW dumped the body on the 4th" or something similiar, would MUDD have allowed it?

Well, if you go according to pattern, then YES!

Truthfully, we will never know. I thought Feldman's argument for it was very substantial. Dusek's argument stood well by itself, but I would have given it support only if the info on the search/warrant and results were stated.

The "20 witnesses" must have really been a bunch for the judge to throw them out. He let dogguy, and mummyguy in!

Sounds like it was a real popular place to take a wiz, for a location the police had to hack a trail through.

Half these people probably had seen lots of UFOS in the area about that time.
