The ONLY thing you can say about we who believed he was guilty from day one is:

We were always right and you were ALWAYS wrong!

We were always right and you were ALWAYS wrong!

What's your best guess as to how it went down?

[nonstatusquo]

I believe the jurors should be given credit for a very difficult trial--116 or so witnesses, mountains of forensic evidence, etc. to go through and to tell you the truth, I would imagine no one wants the stigma of giving a death sentence in the state of California because of PC'ism, etc.

Westerfield was not called to testify on his own behalf, for one thing....that was a red flag to me....

any thoughts from others?

You know, I think Free Republic should have a separate place for conspiracy theorists. We could call it: "The Smokey Back Room on Planet Zertox." :)

There was the blood evidence as well as fingerprints and fibers. The bug evidence is part art, part science and is not as solid as the DNA. As to Westerfield's character, the fact that he had the child porn shows that he is not a normal person. And he had an incredible amount of other porn also!

As to those defending Westerfield, IMHO at least a few of them share his fantasy life. Many posting here are not conservatives, but groups with their own agenda. I recall on one threat about strippers ("exotic dangers"), a number of posters went ballistic defending this "profession." Another time an honorable Vietnam Vet was attacked and ridiculed because he was concerned about the drug problem.
