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.
It sounds about right. Garry left at 10:30 to pick up his girlfriend-bartender; DW, without his beer-buddy to talk to, would have hit the door after finishing his drink.
Was wondering that too.....doesn't she have to leave when testimony pertains to her actions?
I met my husband in a bar. Hmmm... What kind of nice girl did my husband meet and marry? :=) What's with all this horndog buisness? I mean really, when I hear the word "horndog" I think of a guy who might be a ladies man. "How nice does that make him?" I don't really think of a pedophile when I hear the word, "horndog." Some men may even take "horndog" as a compliment to their vitality.
Fits the females in question.
In most circumstances, I would agree.
Ever seen the inside of a VAN. One used for work, inside all scraped up and beat up. Paint loose and flaking off ?
Nope, not sure, that is why I deferred to you. I kept losing the feed during that part, so I said that that was my impression. If you heard otherwise, I am sure you are correct.
I was listening to court TV. They were talking about the porn sites. Who was accessing them. The prosecuter brought out the fact that one of the sites had an access number that was the last four digits of the older Westerfield. The defense objected. I think it was over ruled.
Impossible !
Brenda testified that somebody went back into the bar to get the custom "cigarettes" ...
Shirley, she wouldn't commit perjury ?
Valid claim.
We have an unconfirmed rumor that BRENDA pointed pointed police at DW during a statement she made to them. Defense stated that Police admitted they then embellished that statement and used it to obtain a search warrant for DW's house and possessions. We don't have confirmation as the motion to allow this in court was denied.
Is that a fairer statement of the facts?
Man, that made my teeth shake!
Some might say that horndog means he's a slut and so was his dad.. others might say it means they were male whores. take your pic!
Can't help you there; I was drinking a cold one and pissing off DemLibs at the local bar.
When i got back, you and MizS were in a cat-fight.
