"I am just not seeing the humor tonight fres. This lack of humor on my part, must have something to do with hearing about the following: "At one point, he slammed his hand again and again on the jury box rail to simulate, he said, Danielle's head striking Westerfield's headboard as he raped her."

Kim, IMO, this is a great example of the high drama hyperbole, that the majority of Dusek's closing argument consisted of. It's sad indeed, to see a prosecutor resort to such cheap theatrics to win a capital case and condemn a man to death based on such ridicules antics.

Why do I say ridicules? Please put your emotions aside for a moment and think what Dusek was implying and then tell me how 4 foot tall, Danielle's head, could possibly have been pounding against the headboard, if a six foot plus, DW had been raping her. If it's physically possible, at all, maybe you can explain it, but it certainly defies my imagination. JMO

Maybe you can explain how you think it's not possible first.
