I tune into these threads every few days trying to get information on the trial. I get absolutely none on TV or radio. Its difficult to see past the nastyness, especially the nastyness of the DW fan club. They are rude to other posters & then they talk about them in post to other fan club members. It looks very childish. If DW is innocent I certainly hope he will be found not guilty by the jury. I can already hear the wails of the fan club if he is found to be guilty.

Dusek is definitely losing it. Now, he is making absolutely NO sense.

What he needs to call is an Ear, nose and throat forensic MD!

Now, Dusek is losing his mind...he is babbling...

Comprehension isn't your strong suit is it.

SIGH..I lost the answer..BOOO!!!

natural body openings...the head orfices would be MORE acceptable for bugs..something about clothes Lost feed AGAIN..the area that is available...

witness doesn't understand question. Genital/rectal openings are closed..HE GUESSES IT COULD be, being an avenue for fly larvae can crawl through...if it's fresh and moist. If not fresh and moist, and it's dried out it makes it less appealing for flies.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Condescending jerk!

His tone shows frustration and slipping confidence. A secure prosecutor would find no need to badger and talk down to a witness. He's gaining no points, IMO

I think it's human nature for onlookers to get uncomfortable when someone takes a tone like Dusek's. People tend to watch and judge the antics more than listen to what's being said.

[I. Ben Hurt]

I see my boo-boo in not quoting subject I was responding to. I hate it when people do that. (There's an easy way to do that, right?) I'll figure it out.

This guy did say LE took the shoes of the entire searching team.

[spectre]

I don't see any nastiness. I see wit and humor.

Did you hear the direct of this witness by Feldman? He addressed this area then, without the allusion to this particular case and the atypical condition of the body and fly activity.

[BARLF]

Did you see the article in yesterdays paper about the man being freed after 18 years in prison for a crime he did not committ? Title in my home paper: "Cleared inmate looks to rebuild life after serving 18 years behind bars."

Johnson,of St.Louis, was sentenced in September 1984 to life plus 30 years on charges that he kidnapped,raped,sodomized and robbed a 20-year old St.Louis University student in her car eight months earlier.

Yes, it does happen.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Uh-oh. Clean-up on aisle #281 and #284. Hugzz and kizzez fairies needed.

[FresnoDA]

Comprehension isn't your strong suit is it.

Uhm....what version of Real Player are you using....2.4?

Because maybe your player is backward masking...

Dusek is being diced...and he is sawing off his own branch...

But maybe it looks different through your VDA glasses...

If an animal opened up the body, it should be no surprise the flies would have gone for the stomach rather than the eyes, nostrils. It would seem to me that flies normally go for the eyes and nostrils because it is easier to get to in many cases.

[Freedom2specul8]

He accepts the testimony of those experts who are trained in animal damage to bodies.

he read someone's report that there was animal damage..and the flies started after the animal started to eat on her..he's never seen a situation where that's occurred, DOCUMENTED--he's never seen a situation where a body has dried out so quickly that bugs didn't attack. when you get to see the body at the scene of a murder investigation..while the body is still there...A COUPLE, he's been to a couple. How many has he seen where the body is mummified like this child's body. WITNESS doesn't like the word 'MUMMIFICATION".. AARGH LOST FEED, FELDMAND objects LOST FEED..overruled...in the condition of this child...her fingers, head, feet, objection overruled..he's never seens a dead body in that condition. He can't think of any scene where the body was still htere...where the animals attacked it.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Dusek is drowning and only his last finger is above water. He's just splashing in hope of a miracle life preserver.

[UCANSEE2]

Thank you.

Another pattern to consider is: Did police tell the searchers to take a camera and make their own photos?

Did they tell searchers once they found the body to go home and then come back to the scene?

Yet they did.

Leads one to ask what else did they do?

I read the testimony from the Investigators and he stated they all got within 3-4 feet of Danielle. I call that crowding around.

I think police were careless about evidence because they assumed they had THEIR MAN. This is my opinion only. I am just calling it by observation of their procedures all along the way.

[cyncooper]

Got an opinion on #234 where I am called a "jackal"?

Or is that all in good fun?

[alexandria]

Do you belive Dusak is going into anus as access because it is tighter? That is incorrect, after death the mucules of the anus relax and therefore would be an opening for flies.
That is why witness said something about the spheinter(sp?) mucule but Dusak stopped him.

[bolthead]

I really think Mudd has a double standard for the word "argumentative". Objections against Feldman were constantly sustained...Dusek is allowed to do anything short of physically attacking the witness.
