I have summarized the important parts where Dusek discusses what they will show/prove.
Here it is:
THIS TRIAL WILL BE ABOUT TWO PEOPLE. TWO PEOPLE. DAVID WESTERFIELD AND DANIELLE VAN DAM.
MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT WILL BE ABOUT WHAT DAVID WESTERFIELD DID TO BRENDA -- OR DANIELLE VAN DAM.
BECAUSE OF THAT, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THREE PRIMARY TIME PERIODS. THE FIRST BEGINS, THE FIRST AND PRIMARY BEGINS FEBRUARY 1ST AND GOES UNTIL DANIELLE'S BODY WAS RECOVERED. THE TWO OTHER PERIODS WILL BE THE WEEK BEFORE, A FRIDAY, WHEN BRENDA VAN DAM AND SOME OF HER FRIENDS HAD MINOR CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT.
THE OTHER PERIOD OF TIME WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WEEK, WHEN BRENDA VAN DAM AND HER TWO CHILDREN WENT OUT SELLING GIRL SCOUT COOKIES TO THE DEFENDANT. SO WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE THREE TIMES THE VAN DAM FAMILY HAD CONTACT WITH DAVID WESTERFIELD
. THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE WILL INDICATE THAT SOMEBODY SNEAKED INTO THE VAN DAM HOME THAT LATE EVENING FEBRUARY 1ST GOING INTO FEBRUARY 2ND; THAT SOMEBODY WAS ABLE TO GET UPSTAIRS TO DANIELLE'S ROOM; THAT SOMEBODY WAS ABLE TO GET HER OUT OF THE HOUSE. WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW THAT HAPPENED.
THAT SOMEBODY KILLED HER, MURDERED HER. WE WILL SHOW YOU WHO THAT IS. AND THAT SOMEBODY DUMPED HER BODY LIKE TRASH ALONGSIDE THE ROAD DOWN IN DEHESA. AND THE EVIDENCE WILL SHOW YOU WHO THAT IS.
THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE THAT WE WILL PRESENT WILL FOCUS ON DAVID WESTERFIELD, WHAT HE DID AND WHAT HE DIDN'T DO, WHAT HE SAID AND WHAT HE DIDN'T SAY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT IS SOME OF THE EVIDENCE THAT YOU WILL HEAR. BY THE TIME WE FINISH THIS CASE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, AND THE EVIDENCE WILL INDICATE THAT IT WAS DAVID WESTERFIELD WHO WENT INTO THE VAN DAM HOME. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW HE GOT IN. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW DAVID WESTERFIELD GOT OUT OF THE VAN DAM HOME.
YOU WILL UNDERSTAND BASED UPON THE EVIDENCE WHAT HE DID TO DANIELLE VAN DAM AND WHAT HE DID WITH HER AND WHERE HE TOOK HER AND WHERE HE DUMPED HER. AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND, BASED UPON THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE, WHAT HE DID AND WHAT HE HAS DONE TO TRY TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.
YOU WILL FIND THE EVIDENCE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONVICT HIM OF MURDERING, KIDNAPPING, SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, AND POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. THANK YOU

So did the jury, CTV, and the general population of the US.
Yep. Possession of possible/not proven child porn,sloppiness of leaving out a water hose, more sloppiness by allowing children that are unsupervised by their parents to sneak into his motor home, and being stupid enough to associate with Brenda and her friends.
UCANSEE...I must have missed the part of the trial where Dusek and company showed us how DW got into the home and got out of the home?
I swear, I've been watching...can someone help me out here? How did Dusek show us DW did this?

So, is DW guilty ? What do you see him being convicted of, exactly?
DO you believe the proof provided by the Prosecution so far is enough to find DW guilty of MURDER?
Q: Did you see where Brenda parked her vehicle?
A. She--as we pulled up to the curb, they immediately pulled into the driveway.
Q. What happened then?
A. We got out of our vehicle, they got out of their vehicle, and we proceeded into the house.
Q. All together or were you separated?
A. They may have gotten out of the vehicle before we did, but I would say all together, I mean it was simultaneous.
Denise Kemal testimony:
Q. When you got to Brenda's where were Rich and Keith, if you recall?
A. They didn't come until after us.
Q. If you reall, How much time after you?
A. Probably five minutes, six, seven minutes.
-----Things that make ya go hmmmmmmmm..... thing is, there are too many things that make you go hmmmmmm about this entire trial.
See post 10.
Now, does the jury get to read Dusek's opening statement in the Jury room? Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall for THAT discussion?!
