I don't like DVD anymore than the rest of you do, but not allowing him in the courtroom because he gave mad looks at the man accused of murdering his daughter?

Uhmmm, it was at the request of the sheriff, not the defense.

Sheriff's deputies who escort Westerfield through the halls of the downtown San Diego courthouse from the adjacent Central Jail noticed van Dam regularly following Westerfield, trying to get closer to him and make eye contact, said a deputy who asked not to be identified.

Van Dam also asked questions about how and when Westerfield would be moved to the courtroom, the deputy said.

"He almost appeared like he wanted to do something to him or he was going to have something done to him," the deputy said.

The deputies warned van Dam last week to stay away from Westerfield.

But on Monday they took the issue to Judge William Mudd after a deputy saw van Dam staring at Westerfield through a window on the courtroom door before the proceedings began. When the deputy asked van Dam what he needed, van Dam replied, "I just want to let him know I'm here."

Correct. DAMON scared the wholly hell out of the court bailifs with his actions. The defense had nothing to do with Damon getting banned.
