I just don't get it - what happened to her? Was she alive all that while? Was she dead when she left home and stored somewhere? It doesn't seem like either one of these scenarios would be easy to pull off alone.

THink of the people involved in this tragedy, and think of WHO you haven't SEEN or HEARD of SINCE THE 16th OF FEB..?????????

If you want help, just tell me. I can give you names.

The prosecution has used faulkner as a witness before..so of course he's not going to attack his credibility..

The temperatures in the desert mountainous area were below freezing at night that week-end and not very warm during the day, either. I know because my husband was camping that week-end and returned early, on Saturday because it was too cold to be enjoyable.

Also Dusek wasn't yelling at this witness, didn't make him cry, wasn't being snide, he was totally respectful and didn't try to damage his credibility in any way. This should help the Defense.

Dusek couldn't go after Faulkner since the SD prosecutor has successfully used him before as an expert witness. Faulkner was very poite and did not go out of his way to make Dusek look stupid. He merely answered Dusek's questions as best he could without trying to help the defense. If Dusek had tried to attack Faulkner's credibility, Faulkner would have destroyed him.

The simple fact of the matter is, the insect evidence almost compels the jury to acquit DW. Somebody killed Danielle, but there is far too little evidence pointing to DW.

Some of the pizza partiers have lawyered-up. I wonder how many more are thinking of finding legal representation after today.

The state rested their case this afternoon so i think it is over for them.

David wasn't in arrested until Friday Feb. 22. He was however under 24 hour surveillance and they put a gps on this SUV.

"The prosecution has used faulkner as a witness before..so of course he's not going to attack his credibility.."


Besides, Dusek WILL want to use Faulkner in future & therefore must tread lightly & not anger him.

Yeppers.

Y'all still here? Helloooooo!

[Freedom2specul8]

Has the defense rested? Why didn't the defense explain how dw got her blood hair etc on his jacket and in the MH..and the fibers/hair everywhere? Could it be that he and the prosecution will answer our puzzling questions during closing?

[Freedom2specul8]

That's true too!

You're not going to believe This!!!!!!

Was it you who posted 'Girl's week at Big Bear' a while back -- not sure.... Do you think maybe she was borrowed for a week????

HERE is a REALLY FREAKY theory.

What if this was pre-planned, but the plan went wrong.

I.E. Brenda/Damon had planned to have Danielle kidnapped for a few days or so, and INDUCTED into the GIRL'S CLUB?

Later, the abductors would let her go somewhere around the hood, and someone would 'find' Danielle alive and well, and everyone would be HAPPY. DW would have been off the hook (he was just to keep police busy).

But something went wrong, and Danielle ended up dead.

[the Deejay]

And what's up with stupid Damon, trying to reassert himself back into the courtroom?

[cyncooper]

Back to my earlier reply to you. Dusek did a very effective cross exam and the last point made by Feldman was effective but had already been addressed by Dusek and answered. The guy made his determination but it is not exact and as I said in my earlier comment, not exonerating in the face of the totality of the evidence. (IMO)

[UCANSEE2]

Seems like DuPRICK has forgotten what his duty is, IMO.

NOPE. He remembers where his PAYCHECK comes from! He remembers who signs his timecard (the DA)

Welcome to the forum...:~)

I'm thinking....about how faulkner answered Dusuk's questions earlier...I wish we had instant official transcripts..

Speaking of transcripts...UCANSEE2, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your extra hard work transcribing for us!!
