Really? Thanks..

I want to know what they think about the mummified skin and if it had anything to do with their decision.

Hey, you coward, pukes like you are part of the reason there are so many freaks out there killing and raping little girls and boys. You are part of the problem, man--you and those bleeding heart fake nuns.

Spoken like a true member of the mob. No brains, no honest passion, just a member of the sheeple being lead down the primrose path. If the media had decided that this man was innocent you would be raving at the injustice of this verdict.

Don't bother replying, you have nothing new to bring to the discussion.

I want the one that killed that little girl to die a horrible death.

The evidence didn't show he did it.

It looked like the 2 male jurors were being interviewed by teh media as a group and this film was a result of it. O'reilly was speaking to a reporter who was there for "fox" ...

I think the jury did a great job and I'm glad they took their time in evaluating the evidence.

I absolutely agree.

God, I know I swore I would never post to this cretin again, but I am going to do it, please forgive me. KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell the truth. We don't post here anymore because of you.

No. You stopped posting because none of you could bear to hear anyone say that Westerfield was guilty. The Westfield is innocent crowd was a bunch of disruptors would could not carry on a debate without insulting people (I noticed your use of the word "cretins").

So many people were driven from this forum by that crowd. I'm glad that, for the most part, they are gone.

I see, he was playing the video from the interviews I heard earlier. Ach! Trying to watch tv, listen to radio and read at the same time means I'm missing too much.

Thanks for the headsup. I see O'Reilly moved on to topic B.

Listen, if you were completely innocent in this brutal crime, would you just sit there during this entire trial and not say a word? While people were pointing at you saying you murdered a little innocent girl?

I can assure you, if I were on trial, I would demand to be heard, I would demand to testify on my own behalf, regardless of what my attorney said.

A normal, innocent person would have demanded to be heard and told the world, in their own words, I am innocent, I didn't do this, I wouldn't do this, I am not a monster, and I am telling the world, right here, right now, I am innocent of this monsterous, brutal crime.

Westerfield didn't do this, because he is guilty!

Kudos to the moderators. They pulled the pro-Westerfield thread.

Ah yes, squelch all voices of dissent!

I had heard it slightly differently ... that the jury felt (my emphasis) that ALL of the bug guys were hired guns (not just Faulkner).

"Felt"? This sort of comment, if true, is scary. Of course they were all hired guns. Two of them hired by the prosecutor and two hired by the defense, and all four pretty much agreed that the body was deposited well after DW was under constant watch. I will concede that the last prosecution bug guy stretched the possible date enough to cover the prosecution's theory, and then some, but he pretty much wilted under cross-examination.

For what it is worth, all the cops, detectives, other experts and other public employees who testified were also "hired guns".

Hired, or not, the jury is required to accept as true all the uncontroverted factual testimony of experts. That's why they call it expert testimony. If their testimony was not sufficient to be relied upon in the trial, they would not have been allowed to testify in the first place. Even Dusek declined to question the qualifications of any of the experts.

B.S. The whole thing was reposted here. It was neither pro nor anti Westerfield. It was merely a duplicate thread.

So it is your opinion if a defendant does not testify in his own defense, that is evidence of guilt?

Was it a "Squeaky-fest" which should settle whether it was truly a pro-DW thread? :)

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley.
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're going to die.


I do wonder if the Van Damm and Runnion murders will have an effect on the handling of DP cases and appeals. Will the public start demanding swifter and more frequent executions in CA.

I was on a jury last year in a DWI case, and the prosecution said that the defendant not taking the stand could be taken into consideration by the jury.

A man on trial for his life doesn't take the stand to defend himself?

Not at all, the whole thing was reposted at Post 65 of this thread and I bet quite a few skimmed over it without realizing it was the deleted thread, which was quite short.

This is just more moderater bashing.
