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

To be sure, that isn't unusual at all. Defense attorneys regularly instruct their clients not to testify on their own behalf.

Westerfield has been found guilty by the members of the jury. Many of us who have kept up with this trial also have found him guilty in our minds, not because we don't like the looks of the guy or anything, but the forensic evidence was presented as well as the motive due to his obsession with children pornigraphically speaking.

The defense team set out to smear the parents and place blame on them. I may or may not approve of her parents' choices, but they are not the ones on trial here.

Westerfield was.

If he is innocent, then he sure didn't help his team prove that innocence!
