You got 3 out of five wrong. Read a little closer, to what the judge says about Barb, Denise and the bartender, that their testimony did not indicate impeachement as stated by Feldman, who had to back up. Only Glennie's and Cherokee's statements were stipulated, and only for the purposes of speeding the PH. At Trial is where this issue will be duked out.

Val, I forgot about Patricia LePage also impeaching Brenda's testimony. Val, they will all impeach Brenda's testimony about events surrounding that night. At the PH, only the "dancing" issue was allowed in. You are right, though, the trial is going to be a humdinger.

OH, YOU GUYS ARE GOOD!

Just got back, so I can't reply to all the good comments, but Val you are assuming that Damon is telling the Truth, when you said "how would he have time to vacuum"? I am going under the suspicion that Damon or someone else, could have killed Danielle way before the 3:30am time table. Even BEFORE Brenda got home. Anything is possible. No one can vouch that the child was actually in her bedroom from 8:30 till she turned up missing, can they? You are believing the parents, this is where we part ways. I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt here.

They have told too many conflicting versions of THAT night, to be trusted with what the truth is.

Now, to answer my own question, WHY would Brenda and Damon lie about their association with Westerfield? You say the transcripts don't prove they did. Forget the transcripts, go back to the interview on Larry King Live, or even John Walsh's report.

Brenda and Damon claimed they only knew him in passing, to merely wave at him and sell boxes of Girl Scout Cookies at his front door. It was the mere sight of Danielle that caused Westerfield to become infatuated with the child, the van Dams want us to believe.

But surprise! At the preliminary hearing, we find out that Brenda actually not only went into his house, but the children played out back, and it was then she made contact with Westerfield regarding their "adult parties".

So yes, Brenda lied.

Then we have her saying she went upstairs to wake Damon to come down and have Pizza with her and the friends. BUT WAIT, she left out that she actually went upstairs and interrupted the liason between Barb and Damon, in her own BEDROOM. She, left it out? Another lie.

Why? Because distancing themselves from Westerfield didn't fit into their alibi for what they want everyone to believe happened that evening. They want us to think that Westerfield was the perp...that he was stalking the little Danielle and they didn't really know or associate with him. Make everyone think that Westerfield wasn't interested in adult sex, noooo...focus on turning him into a man who was a child molester...a ped.

They have proven they are most capable of lieing.
