Evidence On Insects Likely To Continue: (Westerfield Trial "Creeps" Along At An Ant's Pace!)

Union Trib ^ | June 29, 2002 | Alex Roth

I would expect much MORE evidence in both the RV and SUV.

Why, if she is only there for short period of time ? Which vehicle did he use to dump the body on the 16th, and where did he keep his little treasure until then?

I guess we wait till tomorrow to see the battle of the bugs.

You say "it's been done several times in the past", an abductor sneaking in and nabbing someone without a trace.

Compare this to how many times a CHILD sneaked into someone's Motor Home without being caught? I bet it's done everyday.

Cyn, I honestly believe (not just for the sake of argument or wit), that Danielle did sneak and play in the Motor Home. She pounced on the bed, looked into a cabinet, shed some hair in the process, and had to have had a tiny scrape or nosebleed to leave the quarter of an inch drop of blood.

It isn't a matter of a win or lose debate for me, it's what I honestly feel could have happened...but no one really knows for sure.

drip,drip,drip!

Do you have a theory as to how her blood got on the MH carpet? A drip would be the most logical, though I would think it would be directly from her and not Westerfield.

I don't think it (dripping from Westerfield) is a possibility that should just be dismissed without discussion and I don't understand the mockery (not from you).

FREEPMAIL CALL! LOL!!!

You really don't read the transcripts do you? These were ALL facts attested to in court. Even the blue paint.

Even when a child goes to bed with an 'empty' bladder, by 4:00 in the morning there would still be something there for a finale release.

Read the transcripts and you'll quit ticking everyone off. You discredit yourself and your arguments.

[VRWC_minion]

Really, I am curious. No one seems to have a logical explanation for how he did that.

If the door was open and unlocked what more does he need. He enters and grabs her and leaves.

Apparently Dusek meant to tell us how that was accomplished but so far he has not done so.,

I guess we shall see.

This is a big hang up for me concerning DW's guilt. Do you think this lack of evidence of DW entering the house will be a hang up for any of the jurors?

I have no idea what the jury will do.

"rehydrated hand"

The testimony was that it was a poor, partial, semi-smeared hand print, but it was Danielle. My biggest doubt would come from the timing; was her body found before or after the handprint?

[cyncooper]

OK, sw. Now have hubby hook up the laptop for the last few days of the trial so you don't have to endure commercials and can watch it, too.

[gigi]

Blue paint was found under her nails, but no evidence that she scratched DW.

It was testified to by people in the bar that night he had a black leather jacket on. I think it was Glennie's testimony about the jacket.

"I don't think it (dripping from Westerfield) is a possibility that should just be dismissed without discussion and I don't understand the mockery (not from you)."


Toss that one out to the prosecution and see how they'd react. His DNA would be mixed in with her blood. It ain't there! (Besides, it's not in evidence or a theory of the pros.)

And leave behind one fingerprint, some blood and a hair with a root in it ? Maybe oneof 3 but not 3 of 3. And thats not couting the jacket and the fibers. Taken together with the idea that its highly unlikely she wandered neighborhood and equally unlikely that Westerfield would leave the RV unlocked especially if he is the type that has his son check the locks on the house when he is gone.

[John Jamieson]

the mockery

...was a result of the dramatic presentation, when no one can possibly know that.

[spectre]

"He enters and grabs her and leaves"..

That was just about the most perfect post for the most perfect kidnapping I have ever read...very good VRWC.

Translation..who gives a care how he did it, he just walked in there and did it!

That should work for the jury, it did or the DA.

[Karson]

Thanks I didn't know that. Where is that point made ?

In the transcripts. Read them and then come back and post.

[pinz-n-needlez]

There's no reason to think that she didn't leave behind other hairs and other fingerprints. Along with prints and hairs of plenty of other folks.

But law enforcement chose not to look for more, or to identify those that they did find.

[cyncooper]

Well, my post did have this disclaimer:

...though I would think it would be directly from her and not Westerfield.

Do you have an idea as to how her blood got on his MH carpet?

[VRWC_minion]

Thank you for the info. Would you recall the day of testimony by chance ?

[UCANSEE2]

And leave behind one fingerprint, some blood and a hair with a root in it ? Maybe oneof 3 but not 3 of 3.

NO, more like probably leave a hell of a lot more than just those 3 things.

[spectre]

Thanks, cyn. He'll do it for me tomorrow, have to go get eyes dialated about 2:30 CST. Hoping I don't miss too much before I get back home..At least I'll be able to "listen", :~)
