They make the leap from possession of PORN (without any proof he ever viewed any of the allegedly illegal PORN) to MURDER.

The best thing for you to do is to QUICKLY advise DAW's top notch attorney, Feldman, Esq. to get the necessary experts to go before the jury, and state there is no statistical correllation, between CHILD porn possession, and child molestation/child rape/child murder.

As for me, one way or the other, I have no idea. You may be entirely right, or dead wrong. One reason I can't tell, is that you provide no EVIDENCE.

It doesn't really matter what you scream at the FR readers, as far as the jurors in this trial are concerned. And at the intuitive level, I expect the jurors are mightily swayed by the audio/visual experience of viewing the CHILD rape scene, from Westerfield's bookshelf.

For weeks, I have been discussing the trial, with a female co-worker. CHILD porn pushes her button, like no other single aspect of the trial. She says there is porn, but CHILD porn is entirely unacceptable, to her. Exactly the same with my wife. Were they jurors, you see the impressions left, if Feldman does nothing?

FYI I'm not much impressed by Feldman, yet. Maybe he will rise in the home stretch, with brilliant closing arguments. The SaveDave gang needs him to do this, or face, IMO, a hung jury at best.

You know as I do there are several considerations going on.

(1) What does the PUBLIC think ? (Guilty, not guilty)

(2)What will the JURY DECIDE?

I don't think one has much to do with the other, and in the end, only #2 counts for anything at all.

Since I am not on the jury, have not had controlled access to the info, have not had exposure to ALL of the info they did see/hear, and am not under instructions by the court as to what I am allowed to consider and how, I don't have a clue as to HOW the JURY will end up deciding.

I think, at this point, you might as well toss a coin. Probably be just as accurate as anyone's opinion.
