FD, if you are indeed "just interested in the truth" may I suggest you surf yourself on over to the SD U-T site and read all the articles from the beginning of the case, then read the transcripts from the preliminary hearing and from the trial. All of them. I know it sounds daunting, but if you want to catch up with the rest of us, that's a good start.

Start, you say? Yes. After that, I suggest you do research on the relevant topics such as entomology, mummification, and (if you're not a computer wonk) the storage and access of files on a computer and the creation of animated graphics--just for starters.

Yup--that's what most of us have done. And it's led us to the conclusion that the case was not proven. If there is justice, Mr. Westerfield won't be convicted. That's a mighty big IF, and I fully expect a hung jury instead.

That will delight Brenda van Dam until she finds out what it means, but it will leave the rest of us still wishing for justice.
