Well, one down. If we now find out that Brenda and he had a relationship, or that Danielle was known to go over to Westerfield's, as other kids "may" have, then we've basicly shot down the main evidence against him. Couple that with the documented evidence that Damen was known to frequent the area where Danielle's body was found and this case vaporizes.
I see a rocky road for the prosecution. I also question why they zeroed in on Westerfield in the first place. I still say Brenda dropped a hint and the police bit. I have no way of knowing this, but I think Westerfield has been the fall guy, not necessarily the perp.
Those who may read these comments out of context should note that I want Westerfield to fry if he did it. I just want to make sure the actual perp isn't getting off scott free.
I agree and also want him to fry, IF PROVEN guilty.
However, I have been most disturbed from the beginning that mom, dad and "unusual" friends were summarily ruled out in a matter of hours. This is foolish under even non-suspicious circumstances. But when one knows of all the "peculiarities" of the van Dam lifestyle and the events of that evening, it is beyond ludicrous.
It seems that LE chose to quickly look past the obvious in search of something else that might fit.
Perhaps the trial will convince me of DW's guilt, but unless and until that happens, I remain extremely disappointed in the police work of this case.
