I am ever hopeful, that after the verdict is rendered, we will hear so much more. Maybe even from the Barb herself.

I'd like to hear from Westerfield or his family. Not his mother, tho..LOL.

The talk-shows will be lining them up, on both sides.

[Yeti]

Your #447...

LOL!!!

[mouser]

just a thought

the one who has not testifed (barb) as far as i know no one has questioned her or took a statement from her

could she be lined up for fall guy #2

[demsux]

I believe the divorce being a reason for one of the parties came up here.

Feldman asked if the second night out was to celebrate Denise's divorce which was finalized on Jan. 31.

Dumcek objected and Muddleheaded sustained the objection.

"The talk-shows will be lining them up, on both sides."

Not Westerfield. All the media folk have banned together on him. Unless Rush Limbaugh would want to interview him, I cannot think of anyone else. Well, maybe Hannity.

[spectre]

You are right..

But what good would an Amber Alert do, if they didn't know what vehicle a missing child was in?

[the Deejay]

I could have done nicely without hearing from his mother!
She sure has an ax of some type to grind.

In her place, like my kid or not, I wouldn't have done
what that sillicow did.

[bvw]

Mike Savage? Greta Van Sustern?

[demsux]

she would say what Dumcek wanted her to say

Gawd, I butchered that...She WOULDN'T SAY WHAT DUMSEK WANTED HER TO SAY

[demsux]

Why would Detective Gerbac ask Denise if Damon was a spy?

Did he really ask that? I must have missed it.

[the Deejay]

I don't know who Mike Savage is (at the moment.)

Greta would love to cross examine DW without being
on the witness stand. Greta's a Liberal of the
worst kind.

[Rheo]

He really did ask that question to Denise...never testified to the answer or why that darn question was asked.

Does that sound like a SOP question in a missing child case??

[demsux]

the one who has not testifed (barb) as far as i know no one has questioned her or took a statement from her

Darn good thought, I've been thinking more along the lines of her and Barb being VERY close.

[spectre]

You know, the other side has made alot about her remark, calling DW a "horn-dog". I believe she was crude and meant that DW was horney for women over 21.

We need to FReep the survey going on at the SanDiegoChannel.com. Currently the survey reads:

69% guilty on all three counts

5% guilty of kidnapping, murder

5% guilty of possessing child porno

4% not guilty on all three counts

16% hung jury

[demsux]

He really did ask that question to Denise

That is really interesting...I wonder how long after LE had been searching the VD home did this question arise.

If they had already had time to look at DVD's computer, maybe their was some "foreign" language material on it (ie., dutch, etc.).

[Rheo]

IIRC, this was asked of Denise at 10pm on 2/2.

[the Deejay]

Doen't matter what age female she had referred to, I would never be able to slam one of mine publicly or otherwise under any circumstances. Especially, one that is fighting for his life!

RR must have paid that sillicow a few bucks for the interview.

[JudyB1938]

I can't find the poll. Where is it?

[UCANSEE2]

yes..except for the print.

Someone else said something about the Investigator finding the print in the MH after he had the rehydrated skin of Danielle to compare to? (or use to make the print?). Is this possible?
