Didn't say they were murderers...said IMHO they covered up her accidental death to cover the Demons butt on sexual abuse.....

You mean you are afraid you'll get amnesia and not be able to recount this story to the police?

Naturally you would explain this story and it would check out since the child's parent, for example, would support your story.

Relax, you'll be OK-----if you're innocent, that is.

ROTFL!!! I was calling Dusek a "Putz head" all day yesterday!!!

Well, from the neighbors I saw testify, I think they'll all be delighted to see the vdams get the hell outta the neighborhood. (Okay, except for the nosy neighbor that lives behind DW. She appears to be a real nosy b**** & I'm
glad she doesn't live behind me!!) LOL!

If she were alive in the motor home, the dog would have alerted inside the motor home. Your assumption is not valid.

  That's good. I'd missed that.

  OK, it's obvious that the prosecution is claiming Danielle was in the motor home, right? I mean, that is what all the fiber and hair stuff is about. So why do they say the dog didn't alert? Or don't they mention it at all?

  I remember the bit about the corpse-sniffing dog being debunked - but did the defense make anything of dogs not alerting inside?

"But I have a hunch he's guilty..."

Of course you are welcome to your hunch, but frankly, I don't put much faith in someone else's hunches (you know what they say about hunches, they're like armpits--everyone's got one, and everyone thinks everyone else's smells). On the other hand, if you read up on the case, study the transcripts, read the past articles on it, and figure out who's bs'ing who, then I might give your posts some credence. Until then, they're just more opinions--which, in a way are a lot like hunches and armpits.

The one factor I can not explain is the dry cleaner's incident on Monday morning. If I read correctly, DAW showed up early for a rush job, and, IIRC, he was barefoot.

IIRC, he showed up at the dry cleaners early in the morning and gave them some items to do.

Then he showed up later, around noon or just after noon, and wanted to have some items done, and wanted them back at the same time he would be picking up the items he brought them that morning. They told him that would be considered a rush job and that they would have had to have been in by a certain time to get out at that time.

I believe the Dry cleaning clerk had testified she thought he was barefoot and wearing some thin shorts.

That is all I remember, perhaps someone can fill in more details, or direct you to the exact part of the transcripts, if you need.

I have heard -- sorry I can't source it directly -- that Libby may have been an overnight guest in the VD home just prior to DVD's disappearance.

Well thanks for letting us know that your only purpose here was to provoke an argument and demonstrate your idiocy.

I've always been fascinated by your type. I picture an old Little Rascals episode where the guy that no one likes and that doesn't get included, hides behind a fence and throws rocks at the passers-by. You know........anything to be noticed.

Well....we see you. Now won't you be kind enough to run along and bother someone else.

I expect you aren't mature enough to notice that there are definitely different points of view here, but the majority of them, regardless of sentiment, are expressed by people who have followed the trial.

Pretty desperate, aren't you?

My take on it is that it's a Big Nothing (like much of what the prosecution tried to paint as "suspicious" behavior).

I put this in the same category as the blinds being open, the blinds being closed, bleach on the shopping list, the meandering desert trip, the Linens N Things advertisement, etc., etc.,. Maybe he was just in a bad mood...no, not possible he was in a bad mood, he was behaving like that because he had just killed a 7 year old and dumped her body in a desert. (sarcasm off)

When I hear hoofbeats, I think horses, not zebras.

And you know DW didn't tell the police how she might have gotten in there, how?

And if this parent is a lier like BVD or has an agenda, then what?

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Dehesa site near the Singing Hills Golf Course? Providing plenty of irrigation, I'm guessing to support flies even in a drought?"

Yep! Singing Hills golf course is the closest location to where her body was found. Lots of huge cottonwood trees. The winding, two lane, Dehesa road would prove to be problematic for an RV to pull over. There isn't much shoulder there at all.

I admit I've been paying minimal attention.

You have asked some meaningful questions, and I have tried to give you the best information I have.

Your viewpoint can only result in a NOT GUILTY decision.

'Kay. You think the Jury'll be interested?

"Anyone know why the prosecution has a tape recorded statement of Denise and a psychic?"


Wow! No. I didn't know that. Would like to see a transcript of it though.

Feldman's got a lot of ground to cover in his closing arguments (if this case gets that far!). I'll bet he doesn't miss a beat. Hope they give him a enough time.

If she died "accidentally" as a result of abuse, then they're guilty of her murder, at least in the second or third degree.

By the same token, if JonBenet died as a result of Patsy Ramsay's hitting her, and Ramsay covered it up to make it LOOK like an accident (as was alleged in the book that came out a year or so ago), then she is guilty as well.

Yes---That's right...

That's a lot of $$$Faith$$$ to put in the hands of someone that is not realllll close to you.

Really, the guilt or innocence of the VD's is immaterial. The only material issue is did DW did it, he's the one on trial. I don't think he did.

I'm having an ever-harder time sympathizing with those who think he did, because it just seems like they have closed their minds to any evidence that would tend to be exculpatory. Particularly in light of the bug guy's evidence, I'm having a hard time understanding why some still think that DW did it. I had serious doubts about this case, but the bug guy pretty much put those to rest with his testimony.

I don't know who did it. I just know it wasn't DW.
