There's no doubt that those who thought Westerfield innocent have been thoroughly discredited. There are some real bombshells out there about him, and the jury didn't even know about those bombshells, yet they still found enough to convict him and even give him the death penalty. If you add in the bombshells to the trial evidence, it really becomes overwhelming. And the jury didn't just hurry through it, it's clear they really made an effort to get it right.

But the parents of Danielle were such easy marks. Some people believe in "karma." (I don't, really.) That is, here were the Van Dams doing all this sleazy stuff, and then all of a sudden, this horrible thing happened to them. I believe their grief is real, and I am sure they are suffering more than anyone can imagine.

But they were behaving like real sleazebags. People who behave the way they reportedly did are obviously not putting their children first. They could have gotten themselves killed by inviting all these people into their bedroom--it wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. How unfair that it was an innocent little girl who got killed instead.

I agree and think if it weren't for the lifestyle of the parents Danielle would still be alive today. Thanks for the info you posted on Westerfield the other night. I thought the part about his ex-wife seeing him often come in the house with binoculars late at night was most bizarre.
