Defense Hopes To Show Child Porn Wasn't Downloaded By Defendant

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.

It was talked about on the Rick Robert Show. It really bothered me because most parents who have a life insurance policy on their kids is generally $5,000 to $10,000 for funeral expenses but $100,000.... Everything the VD(s) have done SCREAMS look at me, look at me but the majority of people are ignoring it. This reminds of the Clintons, "right in your face" but again the majority of people just don't see it. I don't get it.

[hoosiermama]

If the R R SHOw is a reliable source, that's down right scary? Yes, it is similar to WJC "the end justifies the means" attitude. Don't think either parent or their friends have trouble with lying....and yes, I could see either or all setting up an innocent neighbor.

(PS: Maybe you can help keep the voodoo dolls from Doc Savage stay over on the clean threads...tee hee)

No thanks. I'm not a dabbler in black Majik. I'll leave you to fight your own battles.

[Doc Savage]

Kimchee, look into the malevolent dark pools of my eyes, you are becoming sleeping, very sleepy. You are now under my controoooolllllllllll!!!!!!!!!

Go from this thread and never darken its posts again. Or the vooooooddddddooooooooomagic spell will haunt you forever.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It all comes down to ethics, conscience, loyalty, self sacrifice, and principle. If you have none of these traits for those close to you (wife, children, etc) which has been proven through the actions of the VD(s) and even the Clintons than how do you expect these people to show these traits to anyone else? I think we are seeing first hand the fruits of the "me society".

[hoosiermama]

It's more than the "ME SOCIETY". I have plenty of friends that seem to think "ME" all the time but have ethics, conscience....etc. Was it AYN RAN that wrote the play "THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16th? If you're not familiar with it read it. It's that ?????? philosophy.

[Freedom2specul8]

I will pray for you...

And that they woke up, had a wonderful breakfast with their two children, then noticed one was missing.

Well, that's something, isn't it? Another interesting thought - Danielle was close enough to at least one of her brothers, that she sometimes shared his room at night. Why didn't he look in on his sister?? Kids being kids and all, y'know - "C'mon Danielle, get up! Cartoons are on!"

[Freedom2specul8]

If Feldman doesn't mention it, do you think they all agree it's a non-issue? I'll be working in the kitchen most of the day.. Will hit reload occassionally. Hope the rain stays away!

[demsux]

Yeah, it's a scorcher here in the gateway city...BTW, I'm still alive, so maybe the bleach on our grocery list was REALLY for some innocent purpose.

[RnMomof7]

I think they simply did not have sex in the plan..how can we be sure there were many invites.? The defense is playing the ''tv and radio viewing audience'' like a violin...

Kim the whole night pointed at sex..of course they planned to have a "swap". Do you really think that adult men would stop over for warmed over cardboard pizza ?

The sexual dancing, the breast touching , the dope , the viagra, the invite to complete stranges..Barb warming up Damon in the bed..

Brenda brought the sex home to hubby..

[Freedom2specul8]

LOL! The most dangerous thing on my list, cuz i do have to run to the store, is onions...

[Jaded]

Maybe Damon was mad because there was no fresh meat. Could somber up anybody in his presence. It's that goatee thing. Now that it's shaved off he can fall down on the floor and have a full tantrum, and still look in character. The junior high punk thing he tried in court didn't get him very far,did it?

Note to Damon: Grow up or try a new approach.

[RnMomof7]

ooh great!..time to charge up "invisible Christian shield",...and say a few prayers. The best evil voo doo doll repellant around!

Kim does your husband post as ericokc here?

[JudyB1938]

< Danielle was close enough to at least one of her brothers, that she sometimes shared his room at night. >

There's something wrong in that statement. NONE of my girls ever did that with their brothers. Did she do it because of REAL things that go bump in the night?

[RnMomof7]

You are right..most parents have a rider on their own insurance to cover funeral costs if there is a death.......that is alot of money...no one thinks money could have been a side motive for dad, no one looked into it ?

Incredible

Dehesa was, I believe 25 miles from Saber Swings. He says the kids were in bed by 10-10:30. If the partiers were out in the parking lot at 11 and DVD cruised by and liked not what he saw then went home in a rage. (We still don't know who's fingerprints are on the black Toyota 4-Runner with California license plate 4SFN016.) If he was home and did the deed as late as 12:30 he had time to go to Dehesa and come back. He already knew Brenda and friends shut down the bars. DW said he didn't see Damon's van when he got home between 11:30 and 12:00.

HMMMMMM

[Jaded]

Damon could have single-handedly rained on every one's parade. Seems they type, no?
