I didn't listen to rick roberts at first--was going by what fresno wrote and the reports, but yes, I did go to his online real audio source and listened a few times. By the time he started changing his tune...and sounded like he was more on the side of prosecution..I then quit listening to him. You have to remember that I didn't start following this case until march..so a lot of the stuff roberts had said was already "out"... This is the first thread I could find..and the swinging and parties were started then.. See post #27 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/626093/posts?page=1,50

"Delicate questions became pointed yesterday when San Diego radio talk-show host Rick Roberts criticized the van Dams on the air for "not being honest" about "what really occurred" the night their daughter disappeared. Roberts told his listeners that a "reliable" source "high in law enforcement" said the van Dams have engaged in "lots of wife-swapping." Saying he believes the source, Roberts reported activity by the van Dams on the night of Feb. 1 dramatically different from their description to the news media. "

Honestly, I don't remember where I heard about the plea bargain.

Doesn't really tell me much since it's a 2d-hand report. But what it reports there that Rick Roberts said IS mostly true, even in that 2d-hand report.

They absolutely were NOT completely honest with the police (certainly, to begin with, and -- like others -- I'm still not convinced they ever DID tell the whole truth, but I guess now we'll never know). And they DID engage in wife swapping. We don't know how much, because Feldy was limited by the judge as to which incidents he could ask the VDs about.
