If DAW were guilty, I would want him to pay with his life. But IMHO, based on all the evidence presented, I believe he is NOT GUILTY. In my opinion, he is merely a convenient patsy for the real killer.

Frankly, I am surprised at all of the support that Westerfield is receiving on this forum. The evidence and his actions seem to point to his guilt. Many here even question the parents based simply on their lifestyle. Most knew OJ was guilty on even less direct evidence.

Have you followed the trial closely?

Why don't you try basing your OPINION on some FACTS???

What FACTS are you referring to?

[MizSterious]

If he physically could not have done the crime, would you still want to convict him? It appears, from the bug evidence, that he had to somehow elude police and media surveillance to kill her and leave her at Dehesa, since her body was not there until the 16th, when he was not only under media watch, but had a gps device on his car. If he had driven to that area, the police would have known, and would have brought that up during the trial. They didn't.

Dear AB:

For all of 'us' who support DW,Frankly we are surprised at your statement. Perhaps if you answered the following questions (since your screenname is one I don't believe I have seen on these DW trial threads )we could better respond to your question.

(1)Have you read any of the past threads on the DW trail?

(2)Have you read any replies on this thread?

(3)Have you watched the trial itself ?

(4)Did you watch it on COURT TV?

(5)Do you have an understanding of the laws of the United States, and procedures for evidence?

(6)Do you understand what proof beyond a reasonable doubt means?

Now, if you think I am being smartaleck, I assure you I am not. The reason I ask these questions is because DAILY we get posters that come on these threads, and prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are totally ignorant of everything about law, justice, and court, and their source of info for this trial is basically the National Enquirer and COURT TV (which is about the same thing).

Excuse me....But most of the people on this thread have been following the trial on TV or reading the transcripts. Our law says GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT....not what the media wants to spin. If you have not been reading transcripts etc, my suggestion would be "Don't open your mouth to show your ignorance"

I too had doubts as to DW innocence, however, the DA has definately NOT proven the case. Infact, it appears that the LE and media have done a job on DW. Read the transcripts!

That's why.

You have to remember that there are many on FR who think the Smart family is guilty, too, only because it was THEIR CHILD that has gone missing. There is a tendency on FR to ignore the simple in favor of the convoluted.

Really? What trial have you been watching? Or have you just been taking the word of the extremely biased news reporting?
