Seems like one of you Sleuths would know how the dog scratch came into focus?

As I recall, Feldman brought it up at the PH, BUT the judge wouldn't allow it, for some reason or another.

Feldman made a point of following this line of questions with questions to BVD regarding punishing Danielle because she was complaining about the scratch.

Don't ask me for the "source", there is no way that I'm going to look for it!

FWIW

Karson, CTV cut away while the witness was still on the stand...and yes, she looked close to tears...tsk, tsk. Bad Feldman, Bad!

Lucky, you can place your bet that Feldman is going to test whatever hairs he can. He's on a roll with his cross-exam and it isn't even the Defense's turn yet.

Kim, anything of Danielle's in DW's house is worthless.

We KNOW she was in there. Where she went while in the house is subject to debate. BVD said she didn't go upstairs, but we KNOW she lies/fails to tell the "whole" truth.

NO blood at DW's, BUT there is blood at the VD's? How did he take a "bloody" little girl into HIS house without leaving "a trace" of blood.

NO blood in the Forerunner either, so just how did he take this "bloody" girl to the MH without leaving blood ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN the VD home and the MH

Well, not from Danielle! And since, apparently, all they were seeking was evidence to prove Danielle was in the MH, everything else was dismissed with the wave of a hand.

Did anyone else pick this up from pp 13-14 of the Redden Interview?

Redden: Were you drunk?

DW: Oh yeah I think so. It was -

Redden: Were you drinking beer?

DW: I don't remember getting home. That's how bad it was, to be honest with you.

Redden: OK. Were you drinking beer or mixed drinks?

DW: Mixed drinks. I was drinking Rum and Coke. I think somebody - see, the mistake I made was, I can handle rum and coke but somebody bought me a shot of something. I don't remember what it was. Whether it was -

Redden: So you'd say you were intoxicated? DW: Yeah. And you know - you're not going to arrest me are you?

Redden: Oh no, no.

The amount of convenience, errors, presence of and lack of "evidence" in all the right places is remarkable.

The pubic hair is white. If Westie has any white in his head hair, he's got it there too.
