I see the defense is going for the "Westerfield left no trace of his being in the Van Dame house" routine. The child was known for sneaking out of the house, and I think the prosecutor's explanation that she was outside the house when Westerfield saw her, so he had no reason to go into the house. This is very plausible to me.

"The child was known for sneaking out of the house"???

It's also very hypotetical.

Excuse me? All who would speak of her, said she was the most well behaved child on the face of the earth. Even her mother said so. Can you imagine a 7 year old sneaking outside at 2 in the morning?

Dusek doesn't have a reasonable story to sell to he's put all of them on display to muddy the waters even more.
