Westerfield wasn't railroaded, he's guilty as sin.

[HamiltonJay]

But he didn't do it! He was framed! It was all a conspiracy!....... Didn't you hear the bug guys... it wasn't him....

/Sarcasm.

Doesn't matter how guilty the guy is, still gonna be those rediculous people who refuse to believe he did it.

[TomB]

More vindication.

(not that it will matter)

[Marysecretary]

Yeah, he'll be on death row until he dies--20 years from now from natural causes.

My problem here is that I heard on the news that none of this material was allowed to be presented to the jury. I know that admissability rules allow certain things and not others, but I feel those rules should be re-addressed. I mean, for God's sake, if somebody admits to a crime but a lawyer can disallow their admission on some technicality, the whole idea of being tried by a jury is ridiculous. Juries should be allowed to see anything connected with a case, including past convictions, in determining guilt or innocence. What we seem to be doing is tailoring information one way or another and asking people to make decisions based on incomplete or empty data. If we are to have a trial by jury system of justice, the jury should not only have access to everything concerned with the particular event, but any peripheral information which would clarify the event or put it into context with reality. I think this is one of the flaws in our justice system that is allowing perpetrators to go free and just as importantly, sometimes convicting innocents.

"As far as I'm concerned my life is over, the life that I had, the life that I was living is over," Westerfield says in the interrogation conducted the evening of Feb. 5, 2002. Danielle was last seen the night of Feb. 1.

Guilty or innocent, he's right on the money there. Once that accusation is made...

"Westerfield the researcher" alert.

[WellsFargo94]

Newsflash David...Danielle's life is over.
