Prosecutors rest case

DAN TREVAN / Union-Tribune

Tanya DuLaney, a San Diego police evidence technician, points to a spot in an interior photo of defendant David Westerfield's motor home where fiber evidence was obtained. Some of the fibers in the case suggest the girl may also have been in the defendant's SUV.

Father wants back in court

Damon van Dam has filed a motion to be readmitted into the trial of his daughter's accused killer, Judge William Mudd said today.

The judge barred the father from the courtroom and third floor of the San Diego County Courthouse on June 25 because he said Damon van Dam was stalking and trying to stare down Westerfield.

At the time, Mudd said he had reached the limit with the father and told him to leave.

Mudd said he will consider Damon van Dam's motion tomorrow.

I am now convinced of two things.

1. DW did not place the body.

2. Some people can spin anything.

He was surveilled 24/7 and had GPS attached to his SUV and phone trapped. SDPD even ran liscense plate checks on all of his guests. So for all intents and purposes he was.

How does the fact that he wasn't read his Miranda Rights til what? the 22nd? fit into this? And those 2 cops even tried to see him in jail without his lawyer! That all takes on a new light for me, as I see this prosecution played out.

They're going to be studying maggots in a human corpse and the judge thinks they need a gag rule?
