David A. Westerfield, 50, is charged with kidnapping and killing 7-year-old Danielle van Dam. He is also charged with misdemeanor possession of child pornography. Prosecutors have said the 80 or so images of child pornography taken from Westerfield's home indicate sexual interest in children.Defense attorneys are trying to show that the defendant is not responsible for the pornographic images -- including those of young children -- found on his computer equipment.
David A. Westerfield, a 50-year-old self-employed design engineer, is on trial for the kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Danielle van Dam.
Lawson told jurors that he examined copies of hard drives, zip disks and compact disks made by police and took numerous screen captures -- essentially photographs of what came up on the computer monitor at a given time.
Defense attorney Steven Feldman asked Lawson if there was a theme to the animations.
"A considerable number of the screen prints showed bondage -- where women were tied in ropes," Lawson said.
A screen print of an e-mail to a DNWesthotmail.com, as quoted by Lawson, said: "Thanks for joining anime.com."
Lawson also confirmed screen prints the defense entered into evidence last week, that a computer in the office of Westerfield's house was used to access pornography on Feb. 4 at 4:47 p.m., when the defendant was busy with detectives.
Feldman mentioned last week's suggestion that the clock on the computer may have been doctored.
"Did you see any evidence that that happened on any of the computers you examined?" Feldman asked.
"No, I did not," Lawson answered. He said there's usually signs when a clock has been tampered with, such as files being accessed before they were created. Nothing like that was apparent on Westerfield's computers, he said.
Tuesday, San Diego police Detective Johnny Keene testified that he collected Westerfield from his Sabre Springs home that Monday around 3:40 p.m. and took him to the Northeastern substation in Rancho Penasquitos. The defendant remained there until approximately 11:30 p.m.
I wonder what the jury members that have black leather Jackets and black pants think about the suggestion?
IF you believe that I have this bridge I would like to sell you ...
STinking Drunk. Making Passes at WOMEN at DADS. Just having jumped on the ole man of the house (Damon).
Danielle growing up so fast. There she is, lying in bed. No one's paying any attention. Question would be the same one as for DW, though. Could she have killed her, drunk? (I think so.) Could she have participated in what would happen after , while drunk? (maybe, finding out you just killed someone could wake you up pretty quick).
I don't know. Too much to go wrong , I'd say. Too many other people around at the time. Too many that might talk to save their ass.
And yet ,as far as we know, the police did not compare the fibers of Brenda's sweater to the red fibers on Danielle! Wonder WHY? Or even admit that they were there from before Brenda left for Dad's.
It is my belief that most of the women that love swinging are lesbians...they get the benefits of the cover of marriage and the sexual preversion of their choice..Hubby watches and he is satisified too.......
I have no idea on the states for child molestation with women however
Good question, Rheo.
We know BVD put LE onto DW, but perhaps Barb was the first one she thought of to sic them on.
Hmmmm?
Gee, have you seen a picture of her?
Is she sure that it wasn't Johnny Cash?
Kim they are preverts...immature adults does not = immoral
Why do you apologize for them?
Consider this: Maybe BARB didn't leave. Maybe Denise took the car and drove home (they lived together, right).
Maybe BARB was so out of it she slept over.
Wonder where she would have slept?
