Well I would assume there is lots of housework to take care of..I have a feeling that the defense also had their folks examine ALL that hair and blood evidence. Could the judge dismiss the charges? Other than that is not much other than housework and Barb

Rail-Roaded on something that turned out not to illegal.

His lawyer's have a nice new Toyota 4Runner, MotorHome and House. DW get's the shaft.

G'nite karson..I was going to bed but my daughter "forced" me to go outside for a late swim, then I came in a airconditioned house...about froze to death..so now I'm a tired, frozen momma who needs rest. :)

Oh yeah - that's what I think - heavy drug use that night - that's what they are hiding - they are trying to tell a story of the evening by leaving all that info out - and things just don't add up. Sometimes I think that maybe when they found those open doors - they checked thier stash instead of the kids - and when the stash was found safe and sound - they broke it out and did it. Please no flames - I have no proof of this - just a thought that's been floating around in my head.

Are there 2 immunities?

Let's wait to see what rick roberts reporter was talking about. She specifically stated that the pic of danielle in the slide show was next to a photo of a little girl about the same age with red hair, who looked like danielle and was being molested by men. Now, it's not confirmed, so therefore it's hear-say BUT..other reporters mentioned the pic as it was spoken about in other forums. Lastly, to ignore the fact that a sick mind saved those pics, and carefully put them in an envelope up out fo reach, on his bookshelf..well, I can't ignore it and neither should the LE.

[John Jamieson]

In exchange for what? Looks like that if they are going to testify, it will be for the defense???? Now, I'm really confused. Unless you think that they will provide the smoking gun in the next few days?

A thought (or 2):

The sparkly outfit: As a mom of two little girls, I can say that on more than one occasion, they have been "busted" for going to bed, NOT in PJ's, but in their (expensive) sparkly dance recital costumes or new girlie dress up clothes from Toys R Us. The covers pulled up to their chin is the giveaway.

Damon said when he last looked in on Danielle, the covers were pulled up to her chin. I'm thinking she put her PJ's on at first, then changed into the new sparkly outfit to sleep in. (It's a 7 year old "I Want To Feel Like A Princess" thing). She hears Damon walking towards her door to say goodnight and UP come the covers so he doesn't see. (This is something that easily would get past a dad).

OK, so, with the assumption that she dozed off in the sparkly outfit (PJ's now laying inside out on the floor) this child would have sparklies ALL OVER HER and they would get all over anything else in transfer. Even if she took the outfit off and slept unclothed (which my girls have been known to do because PJ's are too hot/too itchy/wrong color/just to p*ss mom off, etc.) there would still be sparklies on her body and in her hair.

Find that trail and there's a pretty solid connection.

IF DW took her, there would be sparklies SOMEWHERE in his properties.

"Brenda did say that Damon wasn't happy about his little girl growing up so fast....Isn't this something that a father that molests his child and doesn't want her growing up because she will know it's wrong, says?...No, Ucan, it is something loving fathers and mothers say all the time.".....Yes, I think that is a univeral feeling.

Immunity was being discussed per a Dusek, Feldman conversation w/Judge....Feldman asked to be informed if immunity was granted to the two people (no names given).(This was the week we thought Barb was going to testify)....no mention to my knowledge, in court, that they have been given it, or anyone for that matter...yet.

Just my evening speculation as it was brought up in court.

No!! He is STEALTH NINJA DAVE!!

BTW, I have been to your site, and it is a wonderful piece of work, both for the satire, and the actual storehouse of information.

[John Jamieson]

Well, he was definately wrong about the "floppy disks", the images were on Zip disks and CDROM discs.

The "drawings" aren't illigal.

If he didn't have the facts to support a murder, he must have figured he had to pull out some sort of highly emotional issue.

[Rheo]

I thought for the defense too...but Feldman asked or requested Dusek and the court to inform him if immunity was granted??

[Freedom2specul8]

Do you think when the jury sees the ''drawings of raped little kids" they'll agree the pics indicate motive?

[Jaded]

Sounds like a night at CB's. Don't you wonder WHY the disks were never dusted for prints? They lift the prints, wipe off the cd and poof pop 'em the tray. Not a complicated procedure. It would have locked in who had them. Donca think?

[UCANSEE2]

Now, I'm really confused. Unless you think that they will provide the smoking gun in the next few days?

Well, we can all hope. But, so far all we have seen is a REAL LIMP GUN, that has a few guys under it, running back and forth with matches trying to get it to light or smoke, and it won't do either.

[Rheo]

Why the story of the blue pj's w/cascading flowers...and I buy the clothes so I know what is missing??

If sparkly clothes taken off...why not found on floor?

Dang never ending questions!!:-)

[John Jamieson]

No, that's not motive, except by irrational tea leaf reading.
