I kind of wish Westerfield would testify. I think I'd want to but the prevailing opinion is that defendants shouldn't. It just seems if I was innocent I'd want to tell everyone. Probably get myself convicted for sure!

Westerfield would probably come out OK, but Feldman must feel the risk is higher than the reward, if he's got the bugguys all in line, and he does.

This case is an object lesson for any innocent person the police want to question. If you didn't do it, simply tell the cops that since you don't know anything about the crime and didn't do it, there is no reason for the cops to question them and tell them to leave your property until that have either a search warrant or a warrant for your arrest. Had DW simply declined to talk to the cops, he would have never been charged.
