If monogamy is freakish I guess I'm part of a proud few. I think it's best to remember that even though the Van Dams' lifestyle is severely ethically challenged, David Westerfield is the one on trial for killing that girl.

Three questions fer ya', Commander;
1.) Do you believe a defendant has the right to a fair trial ?
2.) Do you believe a defendant has the right to access information and evidence that may demonstrate he is innocent ?
3.) Why were the attorneys for David Westerfield in part denied access to information and evidence about the crime scene and what witnesses did and said ?

After all, David Westerfield is accused of both kidnapping and murder. The Van Dam's house is part of the crime scene and yet it appears that the Van Dams destroyed evidence in the crime scene itself, even while police were still searching for Danielle Van Dam. Vacuuming, steam cleaning,repainting and recarpeting is the destruction of crime scene evidence. The pizza partiers were witnesses. They hold vital information. The defense should have access to that information.

But maybe the wrong person is on trial.
