The main problem I have with believing DW was Danielle's murderer is the logistics and improbability that a drunk DW could sneak into a house (with people, going in and out throughout most of the night, even after the group left)abduct a 7 year old child without either of them, making any noise, or leaving any trace. That would be pretty stealthy. I'm hoping the jury does hang and if the prosecution can come up with some irrefutable evidence, they appeal. There is way too much speculation and circumstancial evidence to put a man to death from what I've read.

It doesn't help that Damon's responses have been so... absent. The court room drama sounds like something he was prompted to do after it appeared the prosecution was losing their lead. Compare Damon with Mr. Smart. One parent really grieved, the other worried about revealing the "timeline", can't see why his being a parent and getting high on pot are relevant to this case (no regard forlaws)and bought a new car. Additionally, I particularly didn't like the way the SDPD denied DW's request for legal counsel 6 times. I think LE found their guy without having credible evidence and have since made/coerced flimsy evidence to support their actions.

Questions about the evidence:
1. Why with a partial handprint in the Motorhome was the motorhome covered with a layer of dust? This suggests that the handprint had been there much earlier.
2. The blood in the motorhome and his jacket are incriminating BUT with the way LE went after DW I'm concerned about the honesty of the investigation. Who collected the samples and was there any attempt to fabricate what they found? (I only ask this because it's the only hard evidence the prosecution seems to have)
3. Why wasn't Damon put through the same interrogation immediately after Danielle was found missing? I thought statistics showed that most crimes like this were committed by a family member or close friend?
4. Why did they bring in extra cadaver dogs when the LE dogs didn't alert while searching the motorhome?
5. Why doesn't Damon (a s/w testing engineer) know how to operate his alarm system? Why did he say Westerfield must have used magnets to override it?
It seems that Damon's sexual requirements are pretty demanding and unlimited. Why wouldn't he have been closely reviewed in regards to this abnormally sexually driven behavior? That could have strong implications in this case.

If I were on the jury these would be questions I would be asking based on what I've heard so far.

"Why wouldn't he have been closely reviewed in regards to this abnormally sexually driven behavior?"

This is the question some of us have been asking from the beginning. I think it bears repeating, especially for those who show up on these threads whining, "But what do their private sex lives have to do with this child's murder?"
