I hope you're right. I'm still not convinced of Westerfield's innocence, but the prosecution did not prove its case. When I sat on a jury in a criminal trial, we all believed that the verdict could have gone either way. 50/50. We didn't know. But two things convinced us to render a "not guilty" verdict. We had reasonable doubt and the morals of the mother in the case led us to believe that she could be lying. The man was no champ, but the presumption of innocence was on his side.

If Westerfield goes free, I predict that Damon Van Damm will be found guilty of his murder.
