Did the clerks from the drycleaning place testify that he was there once that day or twice?
I think twice, but I will have to look it up. Be back with the transcript(s) if I can find it/them.

This is a link to an article describing the drycleaning clerks' testimony. The portions that relate to what I was talking about are posted below. I think I have transcript fatigue (see Glossary), but you can go to
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/danielle/ and go to the transcripts for June 17 for the full testimony.
From the article:
Defense attorney Steven Feldman asked Mills if any of the clothes he was wearing had "any blood" on them.
"I don't remember," she said.
"If any of the items had blood on it, you would have spotted it, wouldn't you?" he said.
"Yes," she said.
Mills also said the usually talkative Westerfield "appeared tired, very distant" and would not make eye contact with her.
"He'd smile a lot, hold a conversation. This time he was very opposite. He would not talk to me. He was very distant, would not look at me eye-to-eye, no eye contact," she said. "I would look at him and he wouldn't look back."
Mills said Westerfield dropped off a sports jacket, two comforters and two pillowcases. The receipt for the items is marked at "9:44 a.m.," but Mills said that wasn't accurate because the register's printer was not working properly.
"Then the time on there is meaningless," said prosecuting attorney Jeff Dusek.
"Yes," Mills said.
Kelly Belom, who also works at the cleaner, said Westerfield returned later in the day to drop off a black T-shirt, a pair of black pants and a black sweater. She said Westerfield asked if he could have same-day service, but Belom told him it was too late in the day.
She said there was nothing unusual about the clothes, noting Westerfield had dropped off similar items in the past.
Feldman also sought to draw jurors' attention to mistakes Mills made while dealing with what she called computer ``printer problems'' that morning.
She placed a couple of the items under another customer's name, so she was unable to retrieve them when the police came to investigate.
Receipts from the transaction with Westerfield also displayed later times than what she testified to, and there was a separation of 25 on identification numbers she said normally were in sequence.
Mills explained that because of the printer problems, the orders may have been entered into the computer later in the day.
San Diego police detective Terry Torgersen testified he found Westerfield's dry cleaning receipts Feb. 5, located the store the next day and seized the items with a search warrant on Feb. 7.
He was tnere twice,only told about 2 nd trip.
