~LAST NIGHT'S JURY LANDMINES~

Judge Mudd said anymore Jury landmines, and he would sequester them. A couple of the Juror's are sending messages to him, pleading for Sequestration, signaling they are being bombarded with opinions about this trial.

Last night, Larry King played a rerun of the interview with Samantha Reunion's Mother, where she admonished the Jury who let Avila go.."I hold ALL TWELVE of them "personally responsible for my Daughter's DEATH"...all twelve!

He had Avila's Ex-Fiance, whose daughter Avila molested.

NEXT, we hop over to Hannity and Colmes, who were also discusssing the case with several Attorney's. Hanniety thinks DW is GUILTY, but holds the Van Dams Culpable..

NEXT we have GRETA Van Sustern, who also discussed the TRIAL and DW.

What else does Judge Mudd NEED to prove this case is heating up in the media?

But not once...NOT ONCE..has Dusek ever complained about the media coverage of this case...he's loving every minute of it. He must go to bed at night thanking God for "Court TV"..if he prays.

Van Sustern at least seemed to pause, perhaps considering that this may be a railroading. She said that when she had clients on trial she would advise them to keep a constant almost emotionless face, like Westerfield had done. The other legal commentators -- a man who represents shoplifters, and two others were running on as to how Westerfield's emotionless face was weird and off-putting. She asked about the defense's treatment of the blood-stain on the jacket and the correspondent chick at the trial discounted all the defense's claims against it as nothing. Van Sustern seemed to check herself in a counter comment to that too-easy dismissal by the chick on site.

Either the Judge did not keep his word, or he doesn't give much consideration to the jury-members honest complaints. As the Judge has been anti-Feldman this denial of Mudd's against the jury-member's sincere request will add to the weighing of Feldman's arguments to at least those two jurors.

I think you're right that in this instance, [alone that I can remember], publicity has benefited the prosecution, not the defense. I think it must reflect the overall trend in the media, [led by FOXNews], that both sides of an issue gets sympathetic airtime.

I believe that the VD threads on FR are the ONLY PLACES stories about the Van Dams are being run...
