Many who have weighed in on this trial only know what the media has reported; they did not watch it from beginning to end.
Furthermore, this story HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED and that fact was emphasized last night on local San Diego news. Since when do we fall all over ourselves with UNCONFIRMED reports and treat them as gospel truth?
The van Dams, themselves, were asked about this story in an interview yesterday. They said they knew nothing of it and "you can't believe everything you hear on the news."
There have been a variety of opinions about the guilt or innocence of David Westerfield, but unless an individual actually witnessed the trial in its entirety, the opinion is only a parroting of the news.
O'Reilly made a huge issue of something that has not been verified. I think that is an outrage, in and of itself.
The man was positively foaming at the mouth and beating his fist on the desk. His lack of self-control, was pure and simple melo-dramatics...tsk, tsk.
Now, we just have to go back just a tiny bit, to find out the MOTIVE for his over reaction, don't we?
Could it be that he flamed Ms. Brenda for being such a horrible Mother that evening, that Brenda said "she would NEVER appear on his talks-show"? Hummmm? So Bill O'Reilly decides to do an about face because he can't stand the thought of losing those ratings with BVD maybe going on Phil Donahue?
Let's see if his lates "spin"to bring Brenda on his show, worked, LOL!
Buh Bye...ya'll.

O'Reilly reported the issue. It was the lawyers that fell all over themselves defending Feldman that has riled O'Reilly and many like myself.
