Sigh. Have you actually been following the trial? Or are you just restating what Nancy Grace told you today?

There are holes big enough to drive Mack Trucks through in the prosecutions' case. Included in the items that haven't been shown are:

1. Motive
2. Ability to dispose of body (all bug forensic guys said Danielle's body was put there *after* police started watching Westerfield 24x7
3. Evidence that he was in the house. Ever.

If it can't be shown that he was in the house, that he couldn't have disposed of the body, and that he showed no signs of motive (it was shown in the trial that Westerfield liked *adult* women) then how is it that he was convicted? Simple - thread and DNA evidence. What the defense failed to show was this:

1. That the thread evidence could have been via cross-contamination.
2. That the DNA evidence (hair) could have come from the mother (who was shown to been bumping and grinding on the dance floor with Westerfield in a bar).
3. That Danielle could well have gotten in the moter home and played previously w/out Westerfields' knowledge.

Let's see what happens on appeal - so far this is a travesty, IMHO.

All Westerfield had to do was get on the stand and say she's been in his home and motorhome before and left her fingerprints and hair and blood there... Did he? No.
