One where peoples DNA only matches 12 out of 13 markers of itself? I wonder how many in the JURY noticed this sleight of hand. PERFECT MATCH, 12 out of 13 markers.
YEAH, like I got a perfect score on the test, 80 out of 100.
Any how many markers are there? How many have to match to prove IDENTICAL?
Yep, 12 out of 13 that we tested matched, the other 87 we didn't check. (sometimes it's what they don't say).

Well, I don't put *anything* past Damon & Co.
It was Damon who said they should search in
the Dehesa area. Now, how would he know that?
To: the Deejay
Well ... welcome Deejay - that's good to hear. I was beginning to think I was seeing spooks behind bushes, because nobody I knew thought the dad had anything to do with it.

Whether Brenda was lying or not is up for grabs. It would depend on which particular statement of Brenda's you are talking about. Whether you are lying or not depends on what you just said.
Brenda was repeatedly caught lying in statements to police, in the Prelim Hearing, and in testimony in COURT.
She has proven she will lie UNDER OATH. Makes anything she says very suspect.

"(sometimes it's what they don't say)."
So true, so true. I've always said that
about people in general, "It's what she/he
didn't say, that tells me more than what
they *did* say.

Well, this sounds like the kind of judge we all want! If he really is a balanced kind of guy.. am glad for it..
Maybe you should read between the lines, DW is toast... Maybe ROLLINGSTONE was correct. We will see.

I just think there is a ton of information the parents have not told. Finally, someone with a definition for the word "ton" that I can understand! And I agree.
They could be keeping a mountain of truth under wraps.
Infinite piles of infinite mass. A multitude of sins. An ocean of deceit. Worlds of undisclosed info.
Lots of HUGE, GIANT, really MASSIVE problems with their whole story.
BIG STUFF.

Most of the participants on these threads believe Damon either did it or had some direct involvement in Danielle's death. You are not alone!

I didn't really know much about this case until I watched
the prelim and then I began doing research for days on
end. In my own mind, I came up with Damon as "my" prime
suspect.
He was the *last* one to see her that night. He was the
one in charge that night. He put her to bed. Everything
else just began to fall into place for me.
To: MizSterious
Hey ... whatever floats your boat.
To: the Deejay
Thanks for the info Deejay - I haven't been around a motorhome for years. But I do know there was information that Danielle could not reach the handle of Westerfield's motorhome. Why, I don't know.
To: PFKEY
I also recall reading that the judge stated in some form or fashion that the finger print in the RV was sufficient proof of kidnapping. I would like to believe that no American juror would blindly follow the idiotic statement of an authority figure in a black robe.
To: the Deejay
If the DA only does prosecutorial type work, he has the same civil immunity as a judge. If the DA is involved in investigative type activities or swears out a criminal complaint that is used to get an indictment, he has no immunity for those acts. There is a USSC case Kalina v. Fletcher that clears up this issue in no uncertain terms.
To: Greg Weston; FresnoDA
DW is innocent, BVD planted evidence (blood, hair, fibers) when she was grinding on him at Dad's. DVD died at the hands of 2 self-centered parents who were too concerned with thier own pleasures to be attentive to DVD. Not Guilty, I said that on Day One, I see it today.
The parents had (or know) something to do with this.

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

Where did the paintball rumor come from, do you remember? It was one of those "a neighbor of the VD's told an interviewer" rumors.
The actual rumor was that Damon was out with a 'girlfriend' and her son to the paintball arcade and didn't come home until 1am.
To: the Deejay
Blue paint, the best explantion yet for it, the paint balls.
What came to mind about why any one would put her body there. the journal entry, about dreaming of blue sky, green grass, and DVD would have known that entry was there.
To: Lucky
Welcome Lucky - It's good to know I'm not alone!!

Can the judge lie to the jury repeatedly with impunity? Apparently he can.
