WRT, the plea bargain, the defense declined all samples of physical evidence to do independent testing re DNA, etc. Why do you suppose that is? Because they knew it would be a complete waste of defense resources, maybe?

I know UCANTSEEIT, but DW is guilty, the LE officers recognized it from his demeanor from day 1, just as they claimed to have, and the more they investigated him, the more obvious it became to them. Then they found blood/hair in the MH, later the body w/fibers all connecting DW to the murder victim and her to him.

Not even Feldman has the cajones to claim frame job or falsified evidence. Even now, he doesn't claim this, because he knows it was a clean bust and they got the right guy. Even now Feldman doesn't proclaim his clients innocence, only that his "rights" were violated by procedural mistakes. Let me tell you, that if Feldman thought his client was innocent, and was framed, there'd be a sight more fireworks on his part. He is not a legal slouch.

Hi.

The defense declined ALL SAMPLES to do independent testing. Were there not some samples that they could not get because they were destroyed in testing ? Were there not some that were so late in getting tested (due to rush to trial) that defense didn't get time to test them ?

I am not an expert on lawyers or Feldman specifically. I do know that lawyers make deals. They go like this..... Let us have this one, and we will let you have the others. This one is high profile and our whole department's reputation now rests on this case. It doesn't matter one damn bit if you are guilty or not. The lawyer agrees to 'throw the fight'. You can say it doesn't happen but I have personally seen it and had a friend whose had it happen to him.

There seem to be a lot of questions as to why Feldman did or didn't do certain things in this case. THROWING the fight is one possible explanation.
