Maybe the prosecution is waiting on her and then the VD's will have to leave...but why not call her now?

The only reason I can think for the prosecution to not call her would be if her testimony would be damaging to their case. Since she's more in this story than almost anyone except Denise, I don't get why they wouldn't call her. She's the one that DW wanted to meet. She was the one groping Garry's friend, the waitress from O'Harley's. I can't recall her name. Barbara's a wild woman; maybe she will be called by the defense as a hostile witness.

The jury has got to be wondering the same thing??

Maybe an attorney will chime in here and enlighten us to other reasons but yours sounds logical.

Maybe the prosecutor didn't call Barbara because they were afraid she might lie just like Mrs. van Dam and Denise did. If I'm correct, both Brenda first admitted on the witness stand under oath that there was group sex one Halloween, then denied it was a sex party. From what I read, Denise did the same. Also, Barbara might contradict some of the prosucution's other witnesses.

What is odd that the defense lawyer did not question further what appeared to be perjury by Mrs. van Dam.

I've read about several other cases where a child was kidnapped at night from her own room -- but I can't recall how the kidnappers took the children.

Hannity has commented that he believes the right man is on trial. Although the life style of the van Dams placed the children at risk and this might never have happened if they had been more concerned about the safety of the children, this does not mean they murdered Danielle. There is the forensic evidence against Westerfield, especially the towel and the blood on his jacket.

Many on FR have disagreed with me when I've said that parents have to be very careful about the people they allow into their home and to protect their children from sealzy elements. This case helps to support my previous arguments.
