I just went back a re-read the article. I had it a little mixed up. I see now that it was when Brenda cursed at one of the witnesses for Westerfield that she had a support advocat person testify that it never happened. It appears that no one can deny she was harrassing the buyers.

Reposting the part from the article.

Feldman said the van Dams have been "verbally attacking" potential buyers who are looking at Westerfield's Sabre Springs home, which is two doors down from their house. Westerfield signed the house over to his attorneys.

Feldman also accused Brenda van Dam of muttering a curse word at one of Westerfield's friends who testified earlier this week.

Prosecutor Jeff Dusek told Mudd that Brenda van Dam denies making any such comment and a victim witness advocate who accompanies her each day backs up her account.

Wow, I'm glad you pointed those out..I had to go back and reread the article again..and missed it.

Prosecutor Jeff Dusek told Mudd that Brenda van Dam denies making any such comment and a victim witness advocate who accompanies her each day backs up her account.

These peope are sometimes volunteers, but are normally paid employees of the prosecution's office. They are a WONDERFUL link between the victims and prosecution office. They are trained to explain court procedures, sit with victims during the trial, help console, answer questions, listen when the victims need to talk to someone who's experienced in this area. They have numerous clients... they are suppose to be the answer to the victims not having a say or a part in the trial. Some nitwit tried to get brenda in trouble...probably had NO CLUE the victim advocate was a paid employee and not a personal friend..

This is shows such immaturity & childishness. It also shows how I view the vdams. Immature. They do need to grow up and become adults. Why attack potential buyers? What did they do to deserve verbal attacks?
