Quite spirited! Have you folks gone through each of the forensic environments using the jury instruction regarding circumstantial evidence to winnow down the evidence and possibly breaking the links between each environment? If I were on the jury, I would like to go through each piece of evidence.
Environments:
Van Dam house any evidence? Does this break a link in crime path, actually the genesis of any linkage?
Westerfield house what evidence can be excluded here:
Orange fibers no source
DvD hair Locart Exchange from BvD dancing, girl scout cookie sale, LE?,
Layla hair - Locart Exchange from BvD dancing, girl scout cookie sale, LE?,
Blood here?
Did blue fibers have a source?
Westerfield SUV exclude orange fibers (no source). Does this break the link to MH at Shermans?
Orange fibers no source
DvD hair why not here?
Layla hair why not here?
Blood here? If not, why not?
Did blue fibers have a source?
Westerfield MH - what evidence can be excluded here?
Orange fibers no source
DvD hair Locart Exchange
Layla hair - Locart Exchange
Blood on carpet and DW jacket how is this explained (as fact)???
Did blue fibers have a source?
Dvd fingerprint reasonable to think Dvd wandered into MH prior?
Dehesha Road - what evidence can be excluded here?
Orange fibers no source
Did blue fibers have a source?
Insert forensic entomologist testimony here is their testimony enough to break this link?
I apologize if I left things out. Please add, delete, modify at will. Just meant as a stepping-stone.

Its not one by one. Its total. Does all the evidence point to guilt or to some innocent scenario.
You are making the same logical error in thinking that everyone who thinks Westerfield is innocent is making. You have to take all the evidence and testimony as one and then make an inference. You don't make an inference for each piece.
