This is the best! (sorry to the rest of the contributors) :)

Not to worry, around here someone will correct you even if you are right. by dread78645

Kim, they were not talking about you this time.

[demsux]

Yeah, you could be the new "tourist guy". BTW, it's already on its way, with full credit to NatureGirl.

[The Other Harry]

Yeah! Its funny, as soon as I registered, within the hour I was posting!! You know, I just thought I'd lurk a little...NOT!

I got flushed out (or is that, "in"?) of the closet by all the fun and games we had in the last election. I'd lurked for something like two years before that.

[dread78645]

I see on cop shows all of the time where the police lie to people and tell them they failed the poly, when in fact they passed. It works a lot of times to get guilty people to go ahead and fess up.

That's because the polygraph "lie detector" test is a load of feces.
Pseudo-scientific chicken entrails on a rock, designed to intimidate people into answering questions that are legally void, hoping a incriminating answer will slip out.

Have you seen "A Dog of Flanders"? Great movie...will even make an adult male from Specials Ops cry.

I didn't see the movie. I did read the book when I was 12 or so.

I was reminded of the breed today because I always watch Matlock. There was a Bouv as one of the characters. (Bouvier des Flandres)

I thought not checking them, was alot more odd than leaving a hose out!

Be careful here. That hose is forensic evidence. Don't step on it!

DW supposedly also tried to take that hose to the dry-cleaners after getting back from the dessert. There was a fourth trip that day that has so far gone unreported.

Not only that, but the hose is allegedly filled with .22 ammunition shells and other things.

Thank you that article clarified things..

The point is I guess even if he gets life in prison, it will still be a death sentence.

I feel that there was a mistake in the article. It states that Danielle's "front teeth knocked out" it implies her two front teeth (central incisors) were knocked out.
Not so... (central front -both were there)
The teeth that were missing are the ones called lateral incisors the same teeth that are next to the front teeth.

Also, what's really interesting about the teeth is that, if you look at her passport photo. It looks like she is missing those teeth. Actually, those were permanant adult teeth that were just showing there crown ( they were short because they were just comming down from the gum line on each side of the center front teeth.

The forensic dentist- Sperber thought it was odd too, that those teeth were missing. He found only sockets.

IMO--those teeth were PULLED OUT, not knocked out. Because if they were knocked out her front teeth would have been missing too.

[domestice]

LOL!! I sure hope the jurors can see through the garbage!

[pinz-n-needlez]

Say, an orange towel? If she were knocked out, somehow, couldn't a plastic bag been used to suffocate her, like Kevorkian uses?

Now *this* I did not know. I had assumed front teeth.

I;ll need to give that some thought. Thank you for adding new information.

[Rheo]

I know Brenda has a lot of real estate.

Are you able to expand on that please??

[UCANSEE2]

I will add you to the PING list, if you would like.

[UCANSEE2]

Mudd announced he was holding a sealed hearing at 9:30 a.m., Thurs. to consider an unspecified defense motion in this case. WONDER WHAT this is about???

My hope. Motion to have the SDPD,DA,Prosecutor and Judge jailed for falsifying evidence, etc.

[The Other Harry]

Btw, this was favorite quote from that article:

If they recommend death, Superior Court Judge William "Billie" Mudd -- who prefers to be refered to by attorneys as "Padre" rather than as "Your Honor" -- would then immediately make the final decision between life and death. "Hang the the sonofabitch. Get me a rope."

"I feel that there was a mistake in the article. It states that Danielle's "front teeth knocked out" it implies her two front teeth (central incisors) were knocked out.

Thanks juzcuz...if what you are saying is correct, (I seem to recall the same info about the teeth) then this is just another example of mistakes & misleading statements that the media makes, whether intentional or not!

Even if it were a kidnap for ransom gone awry, I bet the perp would hide the body.

Here's a theory. Damon had someone 'kidnap' Danielle for ransom. (they would split it later). Danielle died on the guy. The guy chickened out and finally called Damon and said, "deal's off. I'm splitting. You know where to find her". Damon goes out, moves her body to Dehesa so he can at least get insurance.

(above was speculation only based on 'ransom' idea. Not to be taken as fact, but sure would do good to ponder!)

[teledude]

Hey guys... long time lurker here too. Could I be added to the ping list? I spend about 20 minutes each day trying to find this thread. Amazed at all I've learned from this ...I am totally in the "not guilty" camp!

[The Other Harry]

Are you able to expand on that please??

I was making an unkind allusion to her dress-size.

[domestice]

That would be great...but there's one problem..what is a ping list? I've seen those posted & just never knew exactly what "PING" was!

Also, how does one get the other persons quote in italics?? I have been copying & pasting w/ quotation marks around, to let people know what I am responding to...any help would be appreciated!

[pinz-n-needlez]

Any idea why someone would pull them out? Anyone?
