VAN DAM MURDER VERDICT [VERDICT IN: GUILTY!]

ABC radio

[wallcrawlr]

I just heard this at noon.

[BunnySlippers]

I'm glad you've returned.

I'm glad you're around. I was worried when you were gone for a few days. :)

And I'm glad this trial is over. I truly believe that someone or some organization was infiltrating discussion boards on the internet which were discussing this case. For what reason exactly I don't know. But SOME ... some of the Westerfield supporters were so vitriolic it just didn't seem normal.

You've got mail.

THE SMOKEY BACKROOM!!!

What's the Smokey Backroom (unless it's the Uncensored David Westerfield forum)? I was on a forum that was only marginally less infected than this one.

[BunnySlippers]

Gotta, WimpyCat ... will do. :-D

[demsux]

Hey moron, there is a smoky back room for your potty mouth, come on over, if you have the Ba***

[Amore]

Maybe not. All the talking heads have been talking about how if he is on death row, it's lovely & quiet and much nicer than the rest of the prison. Over 600 of them even have their own web sites set up!

Plus, even if he doesn't get the death penalty, many others have said that nowadays the prisons separate out the child molesters (read: protect them from the rest of the prison population) & stick them in their own wing.

Also, Mark Klass says his daughter's killer is still on death row, has been since 1996 & hasn't even been assigned an appellate lawyer! This is a "silent protest" from the defense bar -- if the murderer's appeal can't proceed, his appeal can't be rejected, and thus he can't be executed. Is this a great country, or what?!

[Illbay]

You're wrong. There is no "testimony" during an appeal. The appeals court reviews the trial transcripts. Heck, I'm not even sure that they look physically at the exhibits.

"Appeal" means "I think the trial outcome was wrong because the law was applied incorrectly/the jury received faulty instructions/the lawyer was incompetent/ad nauseum." It doesn't mean a "retrial," although such a retrial can occur if the appeals court directs it.

This case was open-and-shut. Westerfield is going to die for raping and murdering that little girl, and you need to just accept it.

[Jaded]

Funny it's been good enough for the DA's office in San Diego in 200 other cases.

[BunnySlippers]

It's the Smokey Backroom thread - where they say I'm a lesbian on welfare because I think Westerfield is guilty.

Hahaha ... hilarious. As far as I'm concerned, the ill mannered people who were the monsters on the DW threads showed not an ounce of the friendliness of a fellow Conservative. If you didn't believe in Westerfield's innocense, you were the enemy.

[Illbay]

How many angels can dance on the head of a needle?

Give it up FresnoDA, you're just appearing more and more a buffoon every time you type.

[Freedom2specul8]

Got it..am reeeeplying..

[EllaMinnow]

It's FR's version of Uncensored, where the die-hards hang out. Tonight they're all psycho over the verdict, and they're monitoring this thread and swooping in every now and then.

[Illbay]

This just in: Westerfield found GUILTY on all counts.

Whining morons mutter and mumble, but know their silly parlor-game is over.

That's funny. They're doing the same on other forums. What a bunch of wack jobs.

[EllaMinnow]

Hey, Jaded -
Why don't you link your "Stealth Ninja Dave" website into this thread?

[BunnySlippers]

Give it up FresnoDA,

I ask you. Have you ever seen Fresno post on any thread about Conservatism. conservative activism or politics?

[Valpal1]

There are a couple who have admitted they will only believe in his guilt if comes from poor Dave's own lips.

So they might, but they may just claim he was forced to admit guilt to save himself from the death penalty.

[demsux]

I'm not going to post offensive stuff on this thread, HOWEVER come to the smoky back room and I'll debate you for a while.

"Also, the defense did a good job regarding the girls fingerprints in the RV, that she had to be alive to make them."

The defense seems a little short-sighted. Danielle could've easily been killed after she left fingerprints in the RV.
