I'm tough as a juror and voted for the death penalty once, but I would be hard pressed to vote guilty in this case. I think it is a lot more likely that this guy was framed than OJ was framed, for example. The police had to arrest someone--tremendous pressure was on. With all the comings and goings of weird people in that house, it could have been anybody. And, I think it is more than a coincidence that the mother and Westerfield danced at a club that night. Smells awfully fishy to me. I feel deep down that the parents were involved.

So do I. I wonder if some or all of the jurors feel the same. I understand that some didn't take kindly to the van Dam behavior in the courtroom.

Jeff Dusek maybe be able to slough off the lifestyle, strangers in the home, Barbara Easton, etc., but can/will jurors?

That lurks around in the back of my mind. Given the circumstances, that seems to me as possible as the notion that Westerfield kidnapped and killed her. I can imagine them introducing her to some pervert friend of theirs, and things getting beyond that.

That's very speculative, I know. But it seems no less speculative that DW.

This is a resounding NOT GUILTY, which under American law means "case not proven."

DW cannot have entered the VD home and taken Danielle. In fact, NO ONE could have taken her unless he or she was already in the home with the VDs consent, and even that is stretching it. What I really am saying is that, either Danielle was outside and in public, and taken by a perp whether stranger or DW--- or it is an inside job by her parents, to cover up an accidental death or worse.

DW cannot have placed the body at Dehesa, and Danielle was either alive until the 12th/14th era and then the body placed on Dehesa on Feb 15/16 night.... or if she was killed earlier the body was refrigerated (possibly accounting for its partial drying or "mummification")-- until Feb 15/16 night, once again.

We need among other things to focus on just when anyone outside her family last saw Danielle alive, and where. Was she already taken by 3 or 4 pm Friday, or did she vanish only between 7 and 9 on Saturday morning, perhaps after going out early to play since everybody else was sleeping in after a long night of drinking and sex.

In addition to what you said, I think Feldman surprised the prosecution by asking for a quick trial. Prosecution was less ready than defense. This is evident in the beginning of the PH. Dusek complained as if his concern was for the defense. Feldman thanked Dusek for his concern but told the court his client had the right to a quick trial.(Or something like that. My words)

Thank you Fres for the ping and I'll add a bump for good measure.
