The parents may be slimeballs but the judge has said he will severely limit the defense's attempts to turn this into a trial about the parent's lifestyle.

Uh.......I think it's a little too late for that. My guess is that their lifestyle is about all the jurors and observers remember about today's trial.

Well, if they haven't screened the jurors ... but hopefully the defense will not be allowed to hijack the trial and hammer on the parents. I have no problem in holding the parents to task for their lifestyle (which I do no t approve of) .... but this is a trial about whether Westerfield killed that young girl. It is entirely possible that the parents have a disgusting lifestyle, but their daughter was killed by someone UNRELATED to that lifestyle ... which I think happened in this case. I am confident that this judge will not allow the defense to turn this trial to a mockery (however I am not holding my breath).
