The theory is, that the VD's had swingin' pals in Law Enforcement...and, since they didn't want their lifestyle to make mainstream press, they tried to keep things as quiet as possible by deflecting all attention onto DW. Diane Halfman was glued to the VD's hip from the get-go. She's also a retired police officer.
Remember, the VD's are on tape as saying they have "no regrets" about the events of that night. That clip is burned into my mind...I cannot fathom how a parent can have "no regrets" after such a horrible tragedy. Shoot, my daughter stubs her toe, and I blame myself for leaving the ottoman out where she could walk into it.

I know the Smart family was under a magnifying glass - we would hear that on the newscasts. Ricci was not arrested for her kidnapping, right? I can't follow everything as closely as I want to.
I also would be blaming myself to some degree for the vulnerablilty of my household if my daughter were to disappear from her bedroom. I would be inconsolable, but that's just me.
Also - just wonder who might be trying to intimate jurors besides members of the media.
