Other than confusinfing the hell out of everybody of why you want to hook up a ~2 amp circuit to a 1 milli-amp crt ?
Because they knew there was nothing incriminating in those locations, since they had only planted the one print with the rehydrated hand.
Why were there fingerprints all over the place, except in the area of Danielle's print, where there was only the one? And why did it take an independent-minded detective to go find this out on his own?
They wipe the cabinet to prepare for the print, then realize that will look a little too convenient, a cleanly wiped circle with a damning fingerprint in the middle, so they wipe to the corners of the face of the cab., Then they realize that if there is only one fingerprint on the cab and the rest of the place is full of them, it will look odd. They realize that in order to get several good prints placed, they will have to wipe down the whole MH, and that will be just too much. Oh, well, the one will be enough, and we just "won't dust" the rest. Quick lets get out of here!
No, the perp left prints on both "alarm-light" doors, the bannister, Danielle's door-frame and her dresser. He/she also left DNA all over her bed.
It's just that the evidence doesn't match DW, so we don't look at it.
I woke up in reality.
Your lawyer gets paid whether he wins or loses.
By putting reasonable doubt into the jury's head. You can only do that by refuting the evidence. All Westerfield has to say is "I have no idea how it got there" and the jury will weigh that.
The lawyer has no idea whether Westerfield killed the girl and the jury knows that.
I have posted this a few times on various VD threads...
It is not too unbelievable. We live in a subrub in SD not unlike the VD suburb. Kids playing everywhere. My son, age 10, was down the street playing with some kids two streets from us. They went into an unlocked motorhome belonging to one of the kids' neighbors on that street. Played unnoticed for about 10 minutes. When he told me this I read him the riot act, for obvious reasons. I would imagine if that MH has not been cleaned or bleached, there are fingerprints and hair belonging to my son in there. Blood too? Who knows..he is a 10 year old boy. Not beyond the realm of possibility.
Q SO YOU WENT OUT AND GOT SOME OF YOUR OWN?
A YES.
Q HOW MANY LATENTS DO YOU THINK YOU WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THAT MOTOR HOME?
A I GOT A TOTAL OF SIXTEEN CARDS. IMPRESSIONS I DON'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
Q WHEN DID YOU GO OUT AND DO THAT?
A APRIL 17TH.
Q REGARDLESS, YOU WERE ABLE TO LIFT SOME OTHER LATENT PRINTS FROM THE MOTOR HOME.
A YES, I WAS.
Q DO YOU RECALL ABOUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM?
A ALL OVER. KITCHEN CABINET, FIRST POCKET DOOR, SECOND POCKET DOOR, A DRAWER, ONE OF THE DRAWERS IN THE HALLWAY, UPPER CABINETS, WHICH ARE THE TOP CABINETS IN EXHIBIT 114. THE HORIZONTAL CABINETS. SO VARIOUS SURFACES WITHIN THE MOTOR HOME.
Q DO YOU KNOW IF YOU LOOKED UP IN THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT?
A I DID NOT.
Hmmmm...
