Death

[Illbay]

I just asked the same thing. Flag me if anyone gives any DEFINITIVE FACTS to back this up.

We need to reread the transcript. As much as My impulsiveness is wanting me to..I don't want to. Would you?

[connectthedots]

My apologies. It seems you are being treated badly in the state of Washington. Good luck with your case.

Your apology is accepted. It is easy to understand why people have doubts about my claims of corruption in the courts of Washington. My claims are so outrageous that many reasonable people discount them at first glance. I can hardly blame them because if someone told me these same things before I confronted them face-to-face, I would have thought them to be impossible. Now, there is nothing that could be said about the courts of Washington or other government corruption that would shock me. In fact, the more outrageous the claims of corruption, the more likely I am to think that they are true because no one could make-up the stories I sometimes hear.

Thanks for the encouragement.

If the jury took into consideration the mummification testimony, it could have outweighed the bug testimony. I'm 100% convinced that the bugologists did not have any experience with mummification.

Try this: kill a critter and put it out in the back yard.
Squeamish or no animals ? try a defrosted chicken.

Start your watch ...

What comes first ? Blo-flies or "mummification" ?

[Freedom2specul8]

That doesn't really relate to this case.

The body didn't decompose naturally.. (IE:Lack of fluids beneath the body)

... the little girls blood on the defendants jacket ...

Excuse me, I haven't followed this trial to any great degree, could you tell me about this? How big was the blood spot(s)? Was this a jacket that had been taken to the dry cleaners? Any other aspects of this piece of evidence? I missed out on this blood on jacket part totally. I'm hoping to hear it was more than just a few pin prick sized spots of blood.

Thanks very much.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Again, I should have been more specific, I meant that the verdicts were on and off and there was some confusion as to weather a verdict was actually coming down, an hour to two before I posted this thread. I should have been more specific. My fault.....

[It's me]

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

I'll second that. Not only does an innocent man on trial for his life take the stand, he needs no lawyer to prove his innocence.

Oh right, and you guys would have believed him if he took the stand? Sure! You would have called him a lying son of a b***h.

He never had a chance.

I still don't know if he is guilty or not. There are so many unanswered questions...

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yes, her blood was found on Westerfields jacket. This is kinda old news....There is a wealth of info on this bit of evidence here on the internet...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

i don't doubt Westerfield was part of it all, but I don't see how the parents get to go free; it was obvious that they were in it more than Westerfield was.

First the Ramseys, then this, then inUtah. Parents can murder and walk with a smile. It ain't right.

[Helen]

Her DNA (not necessarily blood) was found on his jacket. We know it was there because it's been cut out. We also know it was there because we have a very professional fuzzy polaroid picture to show that it must have been there.

(Assuming Tony was not either misquoted or made a mis-statement) Tony, mid-February was the EARLIEST DATE. I certainly hope DW wasn't convicted because the jury confused the meanings of the words 'latest' and 'earliest'. I remembering Dusek trying to make this issue as confusing as possible, and maybe he succeeded.

Yes, those juries always get it right. They selected Faulkner's testimony because it fit what they wanted to believe. Then, we now seem to be finding out that they got the testimony WRONG, or have a convoluted understanding of it.

[JLO]

Totally agree! Plus it sure seemed to me that the judge was way bent over about his objections.

He sure seemed, to me, biased in his rulings in what he would allow and what he wouldn't allow to be heard.

[UCANSEE2]

Sorry, can't deal. I response to Freep names and postings with a higher proportion of small letters.

I understand. You are guilty because you won't take the stand and claim you are innocent.

Fine with me. I imagine that you are a wonderful, enjoyable and apparently a fair and honest person.

However your comments about legal issues and juries seems to constitute wishful thinking and a certain naivete.

[UCANSEE2]

BTW, a Thank You for trying to keep the calm with your comments. I wish more of 'us' had the patience you showed.

[Ditter]

A few pin prick sized spots of Danielle's blood would not be enough blood? How much would be enough? Would an innocent person have *any* of Danielle's blood on their jacket?

[Auntie Mame]

It's kind of you to respond. However, I was looking for a short synopsis on the blood on the jacket evidence.

Does anyone care to put together a few sentences about this to help me out?

When did McDuff do these murders? I can't remember hearing about this & I am a Texan

I don't know how you missed the stories, unless you're very young. He already had a criminal record when he committed the three murders in 1966 that got him sentenced to death row the first time. He was paroled in 1989 and immediately went on a three year killing spree. He was finally caught in 1992, and executed in 1998. Here's a picture of Melissa Northrup, the 4' 11" pregnant girl he was executed for killing:

To all others: Sorry for hijacking this thread. Didn't know my post would create a separate sub thread.

> ... what 'horrific violence' ?"

> Me to Dread: Um, did you really mean to type that question, or is that whole question one big typo?

OK, me trying not to be sarcastic to Dread: Separation from your parents and murder.

I appreciate your restraint of sarcasm, but my question stands: what 'horrific violence' ?

There is no evidence of violence, horrific or not, and no evidence of a murder.
No doubt she was seperated from her parents ..
  but I don't see where DAW could have been resposible for this ...
