The point is that they were "cleared" so early, they may as well have been totally ignored.
It has been suggested that some LE and one very friendly retired LE were immediately on the side of the van Dams. Now we can all speculate about the juicy details of that story, but.......
I don't think the "comings and goings" of everyone in and around that house have been given more than lip service. That is not the pursuit of justice or truth. Remember.......the goal is to convict the guilty; not simply convict. Evidence shows that sometimes that distinction is forgotten.
I agree. If the defense can claim that others were cleared rather than "you can't convict Westerfield because the parents have sinned". And what I have spoken up against is exonerating Westerfield because the parents are contemptable.
