Some people simply do not make good witnesses. Look at how poorly Westerfield did in his interview with LE. Don't you think Duesk would have twisted his statements?

Well, the stand isn't quite the same as a protracted interrogation for hours on end. I acknowledge the possible down side, but think that could have been ofset by a long session with his own attorney asking questions he could hit out of the ballpark. That's my take.
