Freeper confession:

When I was following this case I had a hard time believing that Westerfield was the killer. I felt this way up until his conviction. When the evidence that he almost pleed to a lesser charge came out I changed my mind. I am in the court of public opinion and entitled to feel as I did back then and after.

I never pressured others into agreeing with me unlike some did.

I think I owe how I felt to being a mom and concerned about how the Van Dams activities led Danielle to be a target. I regret I did not respect them a little more but till this day I still dont respect them and their lifestyle. The bottom line is had they been better parents their beautiful daughter would still be alive and again ..I am entitled to that opinion.

THANKS : )

"...had they been better parents their beautiful daughter would [might] still be alive."

I agree with you, as amended above. But the culpablility of the Van Damms was not the point of my question. Westerfield, of course, is the only one guilty of murder.
