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).

Pretty strong statement for someone who hasn't heard all the evidence. Also unlikely to be true, even if it was Westerfield!

How can the lifestyle be avoided and still hold a fair trial? The activity and the actors were very entangled in the events that occurred in the van Dam home at the time Danielle disappeared.

Anyone who says they want to get to the bottom of the story and learn the full truth, but also wants the VDs to be left uninvestigated is not honestly interested in the truth.

How any sensible person can quickly eliminate the many possibilities that come to mind with this swapping/swinging clan is beyond me.

Logic should have some role in all of this analysis.

The police said it had to be someone familiar with the house and the dog. Hmmmmmmmm..........that counts out DW.

That's just the beginning. There are so many aspects of this case that make it much easier to believe that one of the van Dam's lowlife buddies or the VDs themselves could have done this.

I hope the jurors don't think like some of the people on these threads. It seems like once DW was accused, that sealed his guilt in their minds; so much so, that they are completely blinded to all the other garbage swirling around this family and this home.

The point is to show 3rd party culpability. Others had access to the home, others knew the lay out, others knew Layla the peeing-barkless-bleeding wonder dog. I have trouble with the nosebleed thing.
