I have not tried to decipher that info from the transcripts yet, and missed all of Tomsovic's testimony today.

Hopefully, someone will be able to try and clear it up for us both!

They said an animal had drugged her. They had asked about an odor, and LE said he had to get down close to the drag marks to smell any thing.

Then let's talk about DW being the unfortunate victim of numerous unlucky coincidences. In your opinion is he the most unlucky murder defendent in history to have all this evidence both physical and circumstantial point right at him

NO, lots of defendants have had more than bad luck:

He said something about the hair too, didn't he?

[cyncooper]

In case you didn't notice, he was continuing to talk, and Redden INTERRUPTED him. You have NO idea what he might have said otherwise.

Just a point of information. The tape was redacted. If you go to the transcripts there is quite a discussion between the judge and lawyers about what, if anything to say to the jurors because it sounds like interruptions and the tape ends abruptly,not like a normal interview.

To be sure, they would NOT have redacted Westerfield claiming he danced with Brenda van Dam. (And he did tell the police she wasn't his type).

> IF Danielle would have been in the MH between 02/01/02 and 02/03/02, the dogs should have detected that. They didn't

This was part of testimony ? An expert opined this ? What exactly did he say because I am surprised anyone would claim to prove a negative.

If the dogs could find a body, alive or dead, why would you use dogs (or testify about using them) ?

My plecostomus didn't detect Danielle's body, and I wasn't called to testify ...

[calawah98]

I was having a heck of a time with the feed, so missed what was said about hair.

[dread78645]

Well, if you are talking outside of jury's eyes and ears that's a completely different story...

No, it's not. The question is:

Are you honest only under oath and in front of a jury ?

[cyncooper]

Clarification: The tape that was played for the jurors was redacted. Of course, the whole interview exists on tape. The lawyers and the judge hammered out ahead of time what the jury would be permitted to hear, so the seeming "interruptions" and abrupt ending to the questioning is what they heard.

[Rheo]

A lot of us had feed problems today..oh well..the transcripts will be coming..yeah!:-)

Lots of unlucky people!

I have more questions though---

I don't want to be gruesome here---
On one hand, I can see how birds could carry bits of flesh in and around brush that could be a reason of how a small amount of flesh got there. Nevertheless, I nagging suspicion that maybe the scene was something more macabre, like cut out pieces of flesh that were placed there. I wonder if it was that way?

[Diddle E. Squat]

Angels and Insects?

(Perhaps the most disgusting shock I've ever experienced in a movie.)

[Rheo]

I'm not sure...Dusek was talking about coyotes and such...or maybe it is something they have seen before..and since.

You want gruesome..check out this website...there have been some sick, evil people in this world.Internet Crime Archives

A: IT WAS A HUMAN HAIR. AND IT APPEARED TO BE A PUBIC HAIR.

A seven-year old girl with pubic hair ?

Kimmie {LOL},{HUGZ}, and {KIZZEZ} --hon, you've gone round the bend.

Find help. The yellow pages.

[Greg Weston]

That is Barry Schecks group right? The O.J. case proved he has no credibility whatsoever. Just another big ego big mouth who cares only about winning something. He has no principles. Screw em.

[Greg Weston]

Let's just let everyone out of prison then. Just open the doors. Everyone is framed. Let's not even try this Aliva guy. Let him go.

Nice try, Greg. Just be quiet and eat your cheese sandwich.

[juzcuz]

I saved it for later--

Your right it is gruesome.
I barely got past the first half of the first page. Some interesting info. in the first para. Killers "like to insert themselves into investigations". "--They taunt authorities, with letters or carefully placed pieces of evidence...." You I don't know how some of the LE who work homicide can sleep after seeing the gore that they must encounter. I don't think I could to that for a living... I think I'd have endless nightmares.
