WESTERFIELD TRIAL: Week Three - Day Four
San Diego Courtroom Trial
| none
Posted on 06/19/2002 8:45:03 PM PDT by NatureGirl
Here's the new thread, all ready for Thursday.
Testimony recently discussed includes fingerprint evidence, as well as Westerfield's clean laundry. The Van Dam home was (strangely) devoid of fingerprints, except for a couple of latents that didn't match any of the pizza party people or, apparently, David Westerfield.
Westerfield's motorhome didn't contain any of his fingerprints, but did have one print from Danielle L. (the daughter of Westerfield's ex-girlfriend), Jennifer (a friend of Danielle L.), and a partial from Danielle Van Dam.
The prosecution said yesterday that they would be finished "in seven court days".

wonder if the rumors are true - do you think she lit that thing up in the wavelength to see other bodily fluids?

This is for all the trial followers:
I've been browsing these threads for the last few weeks, and the prosecution has been presenting it's case for three weeks now. Is it just me, or do they have absolutely zilch on Westerfield? I know I sure haven't seen anything that I would even consider a preponderance of the evidence, much less beyond a reasonable doubt. I've sat here and tried to convict DW in my mind's eye, and I just haven't seen anything, not one thing, that jumps out to me and says "yeah, okay, this guy was slick, but he certainly did do it". Am I missing anything here? Like I said, I haven't been following this thing like I know many of you have, but I have spent some time at least every other day following these threads to see if there's anything, anything at all, to make me think Westerfield did it, but I got nothing. Anyone who can help me out here, I'd appreciate it.

DNA is specific to humans and primates.....when comparing crime scenes to known, there can be exclusions, inclusions (highly likely), inconclusive.

Why weren't they allowed to get into the pattern of the blood stains on the jacket (spatter, drop, whatever)? It seems like it could be pertinent - I don't know exactly what they could determine - but they could at least go there.
What exactly do you suppose Feldman is going to do about the blood? He can't really go cross contamination - there was no other blood of Danielle's was there?

I think many of us are on the same page.
