Boy......you've touched on a feeling here. He does have kind eyes. It's so very hard to look at him and believe he could have committed this crime.

It's a sense of right and wrong too. I'm not sure what all contributes to the feeling, but it's something I have felt in my gut from the beginning. Add the flimsy case that we have been shown and it all makes sense.

It's odd for me too. I am usually a rabid prosecution supporter and gung ho death penalty advocate.

If David Westerfield is found guilty by this jury, I will never feel comfortable with the decision. Normally I would be gleeful and especially with a child murder case.

But this case is different in so many ways. Maybe it's because we do catch a glimpse of David's soul. He may have many flaws, but I don't see a murderer.

About the eyes.

I couldn't agree with you any more either. I still can't figure out why I got so sucked in to this case. It's not the type of thing I would ever get this drawn into. I know I'm cynical but the feeling here.... well call it intuition, inspiration, I'm not sure. I know I've made suggestions about David being complicit in some way, but I can't even really buy that. I still don't see it, all the cynicism aside.

Like you, I've been here a long time and read more than my eyes can deal with and the numbers still don't add up.

Hope for the best for David and his family.

Ditto.
