If you think there is something simple about any of this case, you are different indeed.

I am playing devil's advocate, as I realize there is no way I can know based on such scanty knowledge as the media put out, what the evidence is against Westerfield.

However, by "simple" I mean you have to ignore a lot of circumstantial and physical evidence in favor of appearances.

The average FReeper is socially conservative, and we are nauseated by the whole "spouse-swapping" thing. We have to consider--with some justification--that those who indulge will be morally reprobate in other areas of their lives.

The notion of "compartmentalization" is a Clintonian one that we know is utterly false.

However, this guy is a creep, as well. Since he was single, he would not have been allowed into the "circle of friends" the Van Dams swung with, if I understand these things. So he was an outsider, but loved child porn and may have felt like an outcast. There are lots of motives here for him to have done what he did.

Now, you might be right about these other people, but the FACT of the murder has to be taken into consideration. Someone did it, and motives abound in our immoral and hedonistic society. But Westerfield seems to have been PART of that climate, not apart from it.

WHAT proof do you have that he "loved child porn"? There is a MINUTE number of "questionable images", and there is strong evidence that much of it isn't even his.

You have NO proof that he ever even SAW those images.

You are being emotional, and equating the PRESENCE of POSSIBLE child pornograpy with guilt.

There is NO evidence that he EVER acted inappropriately with his daughter, or his girlfriend's daughters, all of whom were very accessible.

Really??? Please enlighten us. Especially show where it has been proven that the very small percentage of questionable/child porn was David A. Westerfield's. I must have missed that.
