Your analogy of a cousin in your car is poor. There would be a legitimate reason for the cousin to be in your car. In the case at hand, there was no legitimate reason for Danielle's blood to be in the motor home or on DW's jacket. Context is everything.

Context is everything.

Good point. Evidence always exists in context. And unlike people, who often have a motive to fib, a jacket with Danielle's blood on it travelling in the air from Westerfield's hand to the clerk at the drycleaning store -- that inanimate object doesn't have a motive to lie.

Let alone a motive to apologize and rationalize for a child rapist/murderer.

I think people here think it's fun to take things out of context and play what-if and imagine themselves in the put-upon roll of innocently accused. I wished they'd take their fantasy games to some fanatsy website and not disturb the tormented soul of Danielle. They don't want the evidence in context. They want Rube-Goldberg level complexity, twists and turns that fascinate the eye. Their hearts do not truly seek justice.

I pray for all the prosecutors and police that work so hard on these cases and I pray for the wisdom of juries to see evidence as this jury did: in context.
