You made a reply just above where you said, "..it could have been a nose bleed, but there was no adequate proof it was there by innocent means."

That's the gist of it. Westerfield was convicted to to a "Presumption of Guilt" -- not the requisite "Presumption of Innocence". Rather than insist that the prosecution prove that Danielle was murdered, murdered by Westerfield, and pertinant to that perverted CA judiciary construction of a seperate "penalty phase" murdered most heiniously by Westerfield ... the Court in this trial allowed and encouraged the Jury to operate under presumption of guilt, where the defense was demanded to produce proof beyond any doubt that Westerfield did NOT murder, and murder hieniously this young girl. It was a nigh impossible standard for the defense to meet. Your statement is a clear indicator of the fale logic this "he's guilty already" procedure entails.

I suggest you go read your morning paper about Mr Innocent.... ignorance is bliss, but foolishness is indefensible.

That's not a presumption of guilt. The blood was not suppose to be in the MH. You are presuming that Danielle and her friends played in the MH unbeknownst to any adults. Why don't you explain what the heck a defense atty is suppose to do? What should Feldman have done?. Feldman could not deny the following because it was true.
Looking at the totality of the evidence is not a sin.

1. Child porn/rape videos
2. hair evidence
3. fiber evidence on her necklace, in the dryer lint, the trashcan etc.
4. palm print next to a bed
5. blood/dna on his own jacket and on his own carpet.
6. He had a drinking problem and dramatic change in personality: withdrawn, depressed etc.
7. he was forceful at least once w/his girlfriend
8. his girlfriend left because of the drinking problem
9. his own niece had acknowledged him putting his fingers in her mouth not once but twice. She bit him as hard and as long as she could.
10. his long strange MH journey ..which according to his own son's testimony, he had plannned to be alone that weekend.
11. His own statement was destroyed wrt: MH issue by fellow campers IE:weather/temp
12. His unusual behaviour at the cleaners..
13..oh yeah, susan l's comments about him harassing her over the phone cuz he was sitting outside her resident watching her kiss her date goodbye. She said it made her feel very uncomfortable.

This is just the top 13..
