I don't follow your reasoning, Kim. Do we know for a fact that Feldy made such a statement about "more explosive than a confession"? If so, then the plea deal seems to fit -- although as someone else pointed out such plea negotiations are not admissible, and I don't see how it could ever have been in danger of being admitted into evidence -- at least at the trial portion, as opposed to the penalty portion -- and probably not there either.

I agree with tetelestai, if this plea offer story is true, it is appalling that he may have gotten off scot free.

Other motions remained sealed on the judge's orders. The sealed motions discuss other potential evidence in the case, including evidence that Westerfield's lawyers label in court documents as "nearly as explosive as a confession." The lawyers didn't specify the nature of this evidence.

Westerfield's lawyers want to keep these sealed motions secret from the public through Westerfield's trial and until all his post-trial appeals are exhausted if he's convicted, according to documents made public today.

The documents unsealed today contain some information that hadn't yet become public in the case. Among other things, prosecutors say Danielle's hair was found inside Westerfield's motor home.

So you're saying that a defense atty might say something publicly...that is negative about his client?

PS: It just seems to me to be pointing to a 3rd party. Spec and I were contemplating his son at one point.
