That is the most convoluted reasoning I have ever heard. He was asked if he went there "for parties or...". He said "I was not invited." How is that leaving himself an out? It's answering the question he was asked.

On another note - I have decided that I think this is the reason the jury asked for the audio tape. They want to hear this "I was not invited" in context. Can't believe I didn't think of it before. (Duhhh.)

There are conscious and sub-conscious reasons for everything. The Jury may have actually asked for the tape for that particular little quote, but subconsciously, surely, they wanted to hear the big buddha himself.

For those that want to "split hairs" the statement
of "I was never invited" means so much. In fact,
so much so, they'd give DW the death penalty for
such statment.

On the other had, the slip ups the vdams made, which
were more damaging, are skipped over. Ever notice
that?

When I heard the jury asked for the tape, thats the first thing I thought of. The jury wants to check the "never invited" statement since Dusek called it SO SUSPICIOUS in his closing.

If you listen to the whole tape he just says things like that. When he didn't remember something he said "I don't recollect." Average folks say I don't remember.

People tend to forget that grammar/speech patterns vary based on age, socio-economic status, education and demographics. Sheesh, not every one does Kalifornia casual tacky valley upspeak.
