Private Lives-Public Trial:Are Sexual ?'s Relevant In The Van Dam Trial? (TRIAL THREAD-BARB WATCH)

Testimony from yesterday. Keith, the MH storage guy and multiple neighbors' recollections on last seeing MH at DW's house. It was sometime in Dec., so it had been slightly less than two months, but not "every weekend" camping.

[Rheo]

noticed overpayment on one envelope...cash didn't match...env was marked $24 but cash was a $50 and 4 ones

Again, does Wesrefield have any established habit with regard to when he goes out? After long night out, after drinking, what ever -- what are his baseline habits?

What case of circumstance can be made when only ONE circumstance is examined? That one case will always seem strange. The normal habits and normal variances from them HAVE to be examined, else the circumstance can not, I think in fairness, be used to convict.

[Rheo]

intention was to return cash but forgot...returning to office...recd call from ranger....told ranger to return...was embarrassed as ranger was who he was training

[Rheo]

crssexm..

[Rheo]

reviewed his one page statement before testifying..police report....accurate

Strand closes at 7pm in Feb

[cyncooper]

Indeed. And several neighbors did, in fact, talk about observing past "packing the MH" sessions and the gist was they were more involved than the hasty prep done on this day. (The witnesses didn't make these conclusions, just talked about seeing the MH being stocked or unloaded in the past and this trip did seem different to my ears, tho I'll repeat---no conclusions were made by witnesses or prosecution at this time)

".....$24 but cash was a $50 and 4 ones."

So......Westerfield was a tad "hungover" from the previous nights festivities, driving around trying to locate friends to hang with so perhaps his vision was blurry...or maybe he's dyslexic?

[Rheo]

unable to pick out lot 72 on exhibit.....people usually pick out spot and then pay but there are exceptions....traffic at strand was ordinary on that weekend

[Faith-Hope]

We have a RV and we never open the curtains. I never considered this to be a problem. Every once in while we open the ones by our dining table but other than this we leave them closed. We have friends who travel with us and they never open their blinds. There are some people that are private and don't wish others to look into their homes. After all there is not a lot of room between the RV's or MH's in the parks.

[John Jamieson]

Was the $24 for two people or two days?

[Rheo]

can't recall document name that would allow them to track the traffic flow and campers......detective morris was the last person to rec the report...copy should be in archives

[bvw]

Well, I'm a tent man, myself, but I believe it refers to setting the MH floor level so one's bed is not on an incline. If there's more to it than that, others will have to comment.

[Rheo]

typically traffic would be less in winter than summer..duh....is it common that someone check in and leave on same day...yes.....or pay for more than one day

[Rheo]

if prepaid...one could leave and come back the next day

[Rheo]

will people camp there and not get out of mh....don't know...don't know if people pull curtains....doesn't pay attention as not part of duties.....never went to MH or had any dealings with it

[Rheo]

drawing attention again to media saturation

[Jaded]

His driving skills must match his housekeeping skills. What is the point of all this drivel? Dusek is stalling for time. Or the election.
