SAN DIEGO -- A computer expert hired by David Westerfield's defense team said that at least some of the pornography seized from his home was downloaded by the defendant's son.

---

Marcus Lawson (pictured, right), president of Global CompuSearch of Spokane, Wash., testified Wednesday that he found two photographs of naked women and Japanese "anime" computer animations on the hard drive of a Gateway computer in an upstairs bedroom used by Westerfield's 18-year-old son, David Neal Westerfield. The former Customs Service agent said that a detailed analysis of the files showed the pornography was downloaded at about the same time someone was accessing an email account belonging to the younger Westerfield.

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.

You are trouble you know that? LOL Have a happy 4th Fres!

[Freedom2specul8]

The prosecution made her admit that she was protecting DW..because at first she didn't tell the cops about being drunk, correct?

[FresnoDA]

Agreed JJ...the ole' SD press has been in a major SPIN CONTROL mode since the afternoon recess....hmmm....wonder why they have their garments in such a bunch...and it is only the Defense first full day of questioning....ME THINKS THEY PROTEST TOO MUCH....Been gagged up way too long...forgot how to be objective...(LOL, as if it would matter!!)

[John Jamieson]

Very drunk old balding men go home and sleep it off.

Younger, drug crazed, sexually agressive lesbians have more energy.

[Spunky]

Can you fill me in on the DVD Van? I haven't heard a thing about this. All I have heard was David Westerfield didn't see VanDams vehicle in the drive when he came home.

[FresnoDA]

The prosecution made her admit that she was protecting DW..because at first she didn't tell the cops about being drunk, correct?

True kim...but I also recall that ole Denise had a little admission of her own....LOL

Kemal also said that in October 2000 she had sex with Damon, while Brenda had sex with Kemal's husband.

But she admitted that, initially, she did not disclose that fact to police when questioned about Danielle's disappearance.

"Our encounter was nearly three years ago," Kemal said. "I didn't think that had anything to do with it."

[John Jamieson]

Where does it say that the prosecution is supposed to be objective!!!! They're fighting for their jobs.

[Freedom2specul8]

Well I distinctly remember you getting upset when the vd's lied about a few things too...for the same reasons. Fear of getting into trouble over the truth.

I am not mistaken. At 4:47 PM, on Feb. 4/02, someone accessed that website. The image on that website was stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Try this for yourself. I'm assuming you're on a PC, and you're running Windows. Click on "My Computer". Double-right-click the C: drive. Double-right- click on the Windows folder. Inside that folder, there a folder called "Temporary Internet Files". Open it.(You may find a heck of a lot of files in there. I cleaned up my drive on Saturday, and already there's a pile of cr*p in there!).

Now, those .jpg's or .gif's that are there are from websites that you have visited. Other things there are probably "cookies". If I was to write out the path for one of those .jpg's, on this computer, it would look like this:

C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\dusek.jpg

Somewhere in my travels today, I saw a picture on a website of Dusek. I cannot open that picture, I just know that I had a page open today that had Dusek's picture on it. So what has been testified to, again, is that someone accessed a site that had "content.IE5\g5engxqb\lesbianbordello" in the pathname, and it left a "fingerprint" so to speak on DW's hard drive. And since he wasn't home at the time, the question is who was looking at that site.

[demsux]

We have the information from police that BRENDA pointed them at DW in a statement she made to police.

THAT point is very interesting when considering what LE wanted to search for in DW's home.

Anything unusual in the search warrants for DW's home? All I remember is "binding material", rope, etc. and the "child porn" on any computers.

WHY DID THE WARRANTS INCLUDE CHILD PORN?????

[RnMomof7]

Check in in the morning so we know YOU are ok...........could be you are married to a maniac:>)

[Freedom2specul8]

The question of the day

Will Neal take the stand?

[FresnoDA]

LOL...

[RnMomof7]

He is on the witness list..my guess is he will..

[dread78645]

I bet a lot of people in the bar were wearing black....

"Anything about that seem unusual to you?"
