I think several people suggested it. That fact alone screams... Then there is the mysterious re-appearing towel-in-the-floor-in-the-RV thingy.

If you glide across the top with Dusek, it certainly looks odd, if not incriminating. But when you actually LOOK, it's a very ugly picture and not at all what they'd like us to see.

Notice how Avila isn't getting this kind of face time or the Smarts for that matter? The evidence against Avila must stand on it's own merit.

Well considering that poor Samantha was "fresh" when found, yeah, the evidence will stand on it's own. There was no evidence destroyed by animal activity or weather or decompostition.

I heard today he pled Not Guilty. I suppose there was no choice as a plea to trade guilty for life in prison was probably not on the table.

After reading some on the trial where he was acquitted, I feel so sorry for that jury. Some of the behavior the girls testified to was terribly perverse and sick and without physical evidence to back it up (because they didn't tell for months), I can see where the jury might have thought the girls had been coached by their mothers as a revenge tactic. God knows it happens often enough.

I expect Avila's eventual jury will deliberate about two hours, mostly for decorum's sake (or to finish off the donuts), and then fry the SOB.

One thing, will those two girls will get a chance to testify a second time against him, and this time they will be believed?
