I can't wait to read them either.

Do you know if the jury is given a copy of opening and closing statements?

[UCANSEE2]

She must have started denying it when she was told it didn't go along with the "Danielle was never running around wild, so no way could she have snuck into the MH theory."

SHe probably started denying it when Damon and the PR TEAM told her to keep her darn mouth shut.

Checking up on me you rascal! You have something against 2 single adults in consenual hetrosexual action? Or do you have no sense of humor?

>>>However, your comments below are interesting. Too bad such consideration is not given to Westerfield.<<<

Have you read "The Thin Blue Line"? Randall Adams was convicted on the word of the real killer, a juvenile delinquent who later went on to murder someone else as well. The prosecutor Mulder who almost certainly suborned perjury in the case laughed in Adams mothers face and taunted her after the whole thing was over. Adams--No DNA, NO Blood, No fibers, No dog hair, No victim hair, No fingerprints.

Westerfield--Well you know.....

Post 978...DUH...LOL

[fnord]

so this juror had no problem paying attention to Dusek? Bland, monotone, boring, inarticulate Dusek??

If I had been Feldman I would not have resisted the urge to comment on this ... by pointing out his first chart about bias and pre-conceived opinions.

Still looks like mistrial;
1 or 2 jurors will hold out for conviction on kidnapping/murder
complete acquittal on the "child porn" charge

"They wil not pick a foreman until they are sent in to deliberate. That has been my jury experience in the SD County COurt Bldg. That being said...I think they (the 12 and alts) have a good idea WHO would be a good foreman, just based on their interactions waiting for trial to begin, being on breaks/lunch together. "

Thanks for the info, Mrs. Liberty.

>>>or one of his in-bred cousins...is it true?????<<<

Tell me all about the cousins haven't heard of em. Or are you just making fun of Dusek's slightly countrified drawl? You aren't a snob that way are you??

[dread78645]

But how does he compare to the Energizer Bunny?

I'll bet Barb Easton would know. Check with her.

>>>The above is merely my opinion and not indicative of any inside knowledge.<<<

You mean "any knowledge" period.

[Greg Weston]

No, one where the Blood, DNA, fingerprints, hair, fibers etc, all fit.

And you must convict because of it.

[Rheo]

If possible, please point me to the transcript. This is INCREDIBLE -- there is no way it shouldn't be a perfect match.

It was either Shen or Dulaney who said that hair breaks down after time and can lose a marker??(but after just 3 days??)

Try 6/24 for Dulaney; 6/25 for Shen; also try 6/26 for Mitchell Holland of Bode, he went over that hair and the markers, IIRC.

>>>1 or 2 jurors will hold out for conviction on kidnapping/murder<<<

Are you trying to be funny?

[JudyB1938]

I have always been known for my sense of humor.

It's just not crude or juvenile.

mudd kind of reminds me of one of those s. florida voters that couldn't figure out the ballots.

And my favorite the "Yeah Right".

Next thing you know, we'll here, "Liar, liar....pants on fire."

[theirjustdue]

Thanks for the foreman info, dread. That's what Mrs Liberty experienced, as well.

I've only been called, once in my life, for jury duty and then told not to show up, because of my position with the city, so I really have no idea what it's like.

I do know, if I were on this jury, I could not vote to convict, based on what Dusek has proven (that is, not proven). DW may be guilty, but IMO, Dusek hasn't proven it, beyond any kind of reasonable doubt.
