Westerfield has NOT testified under oath.

Tell it to everybody pulling quotes and second-hand reports from and about the van Dams when they're not under oath and using it as fodder to call them liars.

[John Jamieson]

The van Dam's did lie under oath in many instances. There maybe other instances too, of course. I hope the judge is very specific when he talks about lieing and doesn't just leave it to the jury to figure out.

eg. Was Brenda in the shower, or playing peekaboo when Barbara got there?

I've thought that Neal maybe one of the "he"s and if so, he may have gone to the judge to fessup. The judge seems to have information about lying that we may not realize from just the inconsistant testimony.

[Jaded]

Considering they've told DIFFERENT stories UNDER oath and that their versions of the stories have VARIED greatly from other people who were in the same room. I'd say so. But ya know, in the end our opinion is just that, we're not the jury that counts.

Okay, I accept that rebuke -- I have to. I deconstructed up a quote from the Brenda, last night, yet I know tat newspapers rarely get quotes exact. As much as I'd like to think my analysis was spot on, that one was weak -- even misleading, for the reason of being an unreliable quote.

However, a similar and earlier analysis I did of Brenda's 911 call from the transcript I will stick by, as such a transcript is reasonably considered close to exact.
