Judge William D. Mudd admonishes the media about attempts to photograph Neal Westerfield, son of defendant David Westerfield, as the son left the courtroom during a break in his testimony Wednesday afternoon, July 24, 2002, in San Diego. The judge had ordered the media not to film the teen. David Westerfield is accused of the kidnapping and murder of 7-year old Danielle van Dam from her home in February. (AP Photo/Pool, Dan Trevan)

No, remember they covered it at the PH? When the DNA came back from her hands, it became a non-issue. Even though LE already had an idea that they actually came from trying to dig out.

I'm not offended....but if he's found guilty or not guilty..well, we already covered the html shriek planned, right? On the other hand, as a parent, I have to wonder how the victims and their relatives and friends would feel to see that? But hey, that's a persona choice to even go look at it.

[Jaded]

That'd be Ayala.

[Jaded]

What victims? HE HAS NO VICTIMS.

So you think that's why it wasn't allowed in the trial? Hmmm..I guess it could be.

The vD's are to the Ramseys, as AIDS is to Herpes? Speaking of Ramseys, did I read here on FR that BVD mentioned on the Larry King interview something about the Ramsey's book deal? I only saw part of their interview, so I can't recall. Just VD's entire behavior since day one has made it so hard to be sympathetic towards them. Especially all the initial lies they told when that poor baby was missing.

Hi kim:

I have a question about those scratches. The LE photo I saw was 5-6 scratches (well healing indentations) in an arc shape on the top of DW's arm. Amazingly, it looks like an upper bite/grip by dog or human. My question is- where are the (pictures) of a lower/underneath mark to indicate a bite? Where are the pictures of the lower cuspids of dog or human to show a full mouth grip under DW's arm? I never understood those images. The images I saw did not point to a bite type grip.

Scratches on his legs? I guess I missed that any pics available?

Let me ask you a question.. Did you think it was a good thing that nicole's family sued oj in civil court? Did you think they were victims because their daughter, sister and friend was torn from their lives in a violent way? Do you think that if there were "free OJ" websites out there during the trial, it would have offended nicole's family? I think that is where that grandma lady who wrote the letter to the editor is coming from. (that's a personal thing...and preference of course)

I think they figured out he got the scratches when he tore up a couple of metal portable lawn chairs trying to dig himself out of the sand...

Course, you have to look really hard for a retraction of the "bite mark" report..:~)

Have you seen the movie "Star Chamber"? It's a neat movie. Yaphet Kotto plays a detective, and in a bar scene explains that he could have "made" a case that wasn't there...

Oh Fres, you know I LOVE your song parodies, but Frank is one of my favs. I just want his music to stay "pure" and away from those VDs!

[Freedom2specul8]

No pics, but I think I read it in the transcripts, either during the PH or DW's statement.. It wasn't a rumor..

[FresnoDA]

True..once a VD parody touches a song..it is like Weird Al has zapped it..LOL

[Freedom2specul8]

I hadn't heard about the bite mark. I've heard about chain marks....but also hand claws like this.

[Freedom2specul8]

That's why I won't read them. :) (the weird al syndrome--and of course the topic matter!)

[FresnoDA]

LOL...yikes, isn't that the Double Tiger Grip?? Lorena Bobbitt....ouch..

[Freedom2specul8]

That's the TIGER CLAW..and it can do the eyes some damage.

[FresnoDA]

Oh YEAH...well....En'garde....
