The jury is going to be mad if they get brought in tomorrow when they are supposed to have a day off because of his rambling.

"He is one of the worst prosecutors I have ever watched."
ME, TOO!! And I've certainly seen a lot of attorneys in ten years. Dusek is the WORST prosecutor!!! He just goes on & on & on & says NOTHING!
To: Henrietta
Am I the only one that is confused by this earliest date/latest date thing? This is only because Dusek is trying to confuse the jury with tedious questioning. During the direct examination by Feldman, Faulkner stated that based on the fly maggot/larva evidence, the latest date the body could have been placed at the scene was 10-12 days before it was discovered.
Based on the lack of beetle larva, Faulkner stated that the body could not have been placed there within a time-frame that could implicate DW a having disposed of the body. The body, based on the beetle evidence, was placed there well after DW's movements were being tracked.
Dusek is merely trying to raise scenarios that would strectch out the time-frame in which the beetles started their activity back to 2/4-5. I really don't think his efforts will work. Feldman should have a very easy time getting the jury back on track, assuming the jury is even giving any credence to Dusek in the first place.

Dusek is very transparent. He is very worried about this insect talk and it shows.
He would have done better to not let it be so obvious. To me he was feebly grasping at straws and that says he fears the evidence.

"Note to Dusek -
You can't make chicken salad out of chicken s**t!"
Laughed so hard I was choking!!!

You mean it might have been placed in a root celler in a cabin in big bear ski resort? I believe a pizza partier owns just such a cabin.
And it appears DW was framed.

Dusek handled this appropriately by having him explain how bugs handle mummified bodies. Bugs reject dry bods.
To: connectthedots; Henrietta
plus the jury gets to look at transcripts to clear up confusion
To: connectthedots
He also stated that the body could have been there longer, but none of the indications of that were present. Which, to me, means it wasn't.
To: connectthedots; Henrietta
or notes I mean
To: ~Kim4VRWC's~
Westerfield didn't have time to let a body mummify. So he STILL couldn't have done it.
Dusek's done..
To: All
If body kept in a refrigerator, would dehydrate too. Once dumped, body would mummify more quickly.
ANYONE KNOW WHAT DAY DVD TRADED IN THE VAN ON THE BMW?????
It might be a little smelly and "need" gottin' rid of. Have gotten cars in ourselves that I am CONVINCED something was dead in at one time...like a forgotten steak or Happy Meal. ( a little ozone and citrus spray takes care of it.)
