****Court TV reporters would do well to pay attention to the testimony--or at the very least read the transcripts. For "reporters," they are incredibly uninformed. One might almost say they're deliberately stupid. ***

Well, I think that of many reporters, not just Court TV reporters! ; )

Oh, no, not sleeptyping, Politicalmom! I hate when that happens!

Fresno: Darn, you're good! Those are just great--had me humming while I fixed lunch--or I should say, humming and giggling. Dear hubby wondered just what I was fixing!

Everyone: get ready to freep Larry King Live tonight. According to a post on Jams:

9:00 p.m. Larry King Live: Insights on the shocking murder of 7-year-old Danielle Van Dam and sensational trial of accused killer, David Westerfield.

Tonight:

It was a murder that shocked the nation. Seven-year-old Danielle Van Dam was kidnapped from her home and following weeks of frantic searching, the story came to a tragic end. The sensation trial of her accused killer, David Westerfield, continues to grip the nation. Tune in for the latest developments and insights from Court TV's Nancy Grace, Marc Klaas and others.

With Nasty Grace there, I'd have to add--barf bags suggested, but optional.

You asked for it, FresnoDA:

David Westerseuss

I am Sam.
Sam-I-Am.

That Sam-I-Am.
That Sam-I-Am.
I do not like that Sam-I-Am

“Did you kill Danielle Van Dam?”

“I did not kill her, Sam-I-Am”.

“Did you go in Brenda’s house,
thinking there would be no spouse”.

“I did not go in Brenda’s house,
Although I thought there was no spouse.
I did not kill Danielle Van Dam.
I did not kill her, Sam-I-Am.”

“Did you hurt her, make her bleed,
To satisfy your lusty greed?
Did she bleed upon the floor,
Did you take her home for more?
Did you take her to your bed,
Or were you drunk, just like you said?”

“I did not hurt her, make her bleed,
And did you know, her dad smoked weed?
Her mother sure is not my type.
I like them thinner, like them light.
I leered at Brenda and her pals,
But did you know, they’re slutty gals?
I did not take her ‘cross the street,
I did not bind her little feet,
The blinds were closed up tight, you see,
Because I like my privacy.
I was so drunk I can’t recall,
Ogling at the pool hall.
Arriving home in a fuzzy fog.
I never heard a barking dog.
And so I tell you, Sam-I-Am,
I never grabbed Danielle Van Dam.”

“They found her blood upon your coat!
What did you do, you evil goat?
They found her hairs inside your camper,
And some inside your laundry hamper.
Her fingerprints were found as well,
How’d they get there? Do please tell.
You dumped her at a hidden place,
Where your linens left a tiny trace.
You cleaned the camper up inside,
When asked about your trip, you lied.
You lied about your wallet, eh?
You lied about a sunny day.
You lied about who you would meet,
You lied about a gas receipt,
You lied about your ideal babe,
You sure don’t sound like Honest Abe,
You lied about bringing your trailer,
You folded up the bedding mailer,
You lied about the return trip,
And don’t forget, “we” heard a slip
You lied about a blown-out tire.
What made you such a flat out liar?
You lied about spending the night,
At the Cays, that’s just not right.
No to mention the dry cleaning run,
If it’s not you, then who’s the one?”

“I did not take her in the camper,
I think I saw that girl scamper,
Inside my motorhome one day,
Her parents never watched her play.
I know my story might sound weird,
But look how neat I trim my beard.
I can’t talk now, the 5th Amendment,
Prevents me, but I get contentment,
Knowing Feldman’s on the case,
He’ll speak for me, and in my place,
He’ll tell you, Mr. Sam-I-Am,
I did not kill Danielle Van Dam.”

“OK, tell us Feldman, if you can,
What’s your defense, do you have a plan?”

“He did not act strange at the bar,
He did not drive drunk in a car,
Everything they say is false,
We deny it, we deny it all.
That’s not his voice there on that tape.
If there’s no semen, there’s no rape.
He did not grab Danielle Van Dam.
He did not do it, Sam-I-Am.

She did not bleed, but if she did,
She was just a wild kid,
Roaming streets so free and wild,
Her parents could not control that child.
The camper was unlocked that day,
And that is where she went to play,
While there, we think she cut her head,
And got some blood upon the bed.
And on the floor, and David’s jacket.
A perfect story! Don’t attack it.
She lay there, little tired lass,
Upon awaking, touched the glass,
And dropped some hairs along the way.
That’s what happened, so I say.”

“What? Don’t buy it? Then how about this—
Damon and Barbara shared a kiss.
Yes, it’s true! That very night.
That means my client must be right.
Swingers must have been involved.
So, the case has now been solved.”

“Still not convinced? Try this one—
The porn was owned by David’s son.”

“Not enough? That’s just too bad.
Now you people have made me mad.
Each and every witness here,
Is lying. Yes, that’s very clear.
The ranger, and the camp host, too.
The lady who saw he had no shoes.
The desert campers, who saw him acting oddly,
The volunteers who found Danielle’s body,
The nosy neighbors hated his RV,
And so they framed him, can’t you see?
The cell phone guy, the Chevron lady,
The friends, especially that guy Brady.
The biggest liars of them all.
Are the Van Dams. Imagine the gall!
They smoked and drank and liked to swing.
So they deserve this “murder” thing.
It’s not about this poor dead child.
It’s all about the parent’s lifestyle.

You skeptics now have forced me to it.
OJ showed me how to do it.
Yell and scream and use theatrics.
Pound the podium and other antics.
Throw up smoke and blame the cops.
They screwed up all those damn blood drops.
Their labs are shoddy, their work is worse.
Their skills mean nothing in my universe.
Fingerprints! Bah. A superstitious art.
DNA? It plays no part.
They claim it’s 30 gazillion to one.
I say the relevance is none.

So, in conclusion, Sam-I-Am,
He did not kill Danielle Van Dam.”

“The jury verdict has been read.
Condemned to death, the jury said.
She lay in bed, fast asleep.
Inside her room, this man did creep.
He stole the girl from her home,
And went upon a weekend roam.
The horror cannot be expressed.
And then he dumped her.
Dead. Undressed.

Ten years later, Justice Day.
“Any final words to say?”

“Yes, I’ll tell you, Sam-I-Am.
I did kill Danielle Van Dam.”

Or how about when Damon was asked about something he did that evening...and if he saw anything wrong with it? He said, "no..I still don't.." Those words still ring in my ears..just like "we regret nothing"..

Damon said it, during the trial, about the fact that he lied to the police a number of times about who was in the house that night. Those people, according to Damon Van Dam had nothing to do with the disappearance, so the police didn't need to know!!!

Isn't it interest that Brenda, Barb and Denise were "trolling" Dad's for some sexual participants, but they were focusing on FEMALES.

The only reason Ryan Tyrol was propositioned was because he was "with" a gal that Brenda, etal. found attractive.

They had no interest in DW, his friend Gary, the bartender, etc.

For some unknown reason, the "pizza party" crew "needed" an additional female participant for whatever they had planned for later that night AT THE VD HOME.

You are good Defiant - that was soooo cool - I read the whole thing and didn't have to stumble once. Not sure I agree with your conclusion - but I really do see the argument for that reasoning (DW being gulty.) You sure did a good job of communicating for "your side." You said it better with your humorous parody than most who try to sriously debate what they think. Bravo.

But on cross-examination by Dusek, Faulkner appeared to contradict himself, admitting that strange weather patterns in February ? as well as the imprecision of the science ? made it impossible to know precisely how early the flies had infested the girl's body.

This writer has completely disregarded Feldman's re-direct examination. If Dusek does not come up with some credible rebuttal witnesses regarding Faulkner's testimony, the jury will have no choice but to find DW 'not guilty'. I am not convinced that DW is innocent, but so far, the prosecution does not seem to have met their burden of 'proof beyond a reasonable doubt'. If a guilty man walks, it will be because the prosecutor presented the case to the grand jury before sufficiently investigating the case.

Those popups have been put in their places, and no longer bother us--the popups here are another matter.

Fres - another good one. I'm thinking that Simon & Garfunkel tunes really lend themselves well to this sort of thing - and they stick in your head somethin fierce. As always - keep em coming - the parodies - of course.

OMG...I'll have to take an anti-nausea pill to stand them all, if I can.

Wonder if Larry King will even bother to ask anyone WHY the prints that didn't match ANYONE from the Van Dams house weren't looked at? Will King accept the explanation that "we didn't have time to do a thorough investigation?" as a lame excuse?

Mr. King..please..there WERE no fingerprints of Westerfields in that home, but there WERE fingerprints the LE could not and would not Identify...How about them apples?!!

Thank you, Fresno, loved your song,
who's this Kim? Can't we get along?
With trial in a break this week,
We need one side to drop a leak.
Circulation now is dropping down.
The UT needs to keep the town
interested in its favorite tale.
Before it gets any more stale.
And so this week will see some fluff.
Until Judge Mudd has had enough.
Then the jury will be hidden
In a room, a verdict bidden.
The verdict will be plain to see,
because it's clear, he is guilty.
And then we all go back to work.
Feldman will still be a jerk.
The Van Dams can go and write their tome.
Do a tour, buy a new home.
Dusek and Clarke save Pfingst's big rear.
And all is well. Except Danielle's not here.
