Breaking!! Defense In Westerfield Case To Present Sealed Motion

Jury Asks To Review More Evidence

 

POSTED: 3:57 p.m. PDT August 14, 2002
UPDATED: 3:58 p.m. PDT August 14, 2002

 

The judge in the David Westerfield trial will hold a hearing on a sealed motion filed by the defense.
Court officials say Judge William Mudd has scheduled a hearing at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in San Diego on a motion filed by Westerfield's attorneys.

Westerfield is accused of kidnapping and killing seven-year-old Danielle van Dam in early February. Today is the fifth day of deliberations in the case.

The six-man, six-woman jury has asked to review all the pornographic evidence collected from Westerfield's home.

They've also asked to look at photos of his ex-girlfriend's daughter, also named Danielle. Jurors also requested the tape of Westerfield's interview with police.

THey are with the blue blanket used to wrap Danielle, the missing comforter with blood all over it, the black boots with blood all over them, and my briefcase with a million dollars in it. If you see it, I want it back.

It's wrapped up in a plastic mattress cover that you can get at any Wall-Mart for $12.99.
If you find a second hard-drive in the briefcase, that belongs to Kimmy.
Night vision goggles or Febreze are Jaded's.

JJ gets any jay-walking deer and Oldsmobile spare parts. by dread78645

Westerfield could have buried the body anywhere, burned all the evidence (including the MH).

He supposedly tried to get the motor home dry-cleaned at Twin Peaks when he checked in the three green jackets onn January 26th. by The Other Harry

I thought not checking them, was alot more odd than leaving a hose out!

Be careful here. That hose is forensic evidence. Don't step on it!

DW supposedly also tried to take that hose to the dry-cleaners after getting back from the dessert. There was a fourth trip that day that has so far gone unreported. Not only that, but the hose is allegedly filled with .22 ammunition shells and other things. by The Other Harry

If they recommend death, Superior Court Judge William "Billie" Mudd -- who prefers to be refered to by attorneys as "Padre" rather than as "Your Honor" -- would then immediately make the final decision between life and death. "Hang the the sonofabitch. Get me a rope." by The Other Harry

Same here. Did you see the post about the idea that removing certain teeth (or any) is part of satanic ritual?

I know someone discussed removing of left foot (left - sinistra) is part of satanic ritual.

So what's the prevailing opinion here? The longer the jury's out, the better or worse for DW? I'm getting nervous.

I think it means they are taking a serious look at the whole thing. They apparently paid attention to Feldman's closing.

He said "stealth" or some derivative thereof 5 times during his closing. Dang it, if he'da only said Stealth Ninja Dave once.

I don't know the rules of thumb on this, but I think it at least shows that the jury is being careful and methodical. In my mind, that's a good thing. I think it probably helps DW.

I say that for a reason. The prosecution's case is very narrow. The forensic evidence in the MH, period, end of story.

The case could be decided very quickly if that was all the jurors are looking at. If they are looking at more than that, I think that helps Dee-Dub.

>>>the jury requested ``all available evidence of pornographic images'' and a photograph of a teen-age daughter of the defendant's ex-girlfriend.<<<

That may indicate they have decided on the other things and are hashing out the child porno charges.

This is a good thing, IMHO. I agree w/ TOH. Now I'm off for some shut eye!
