Unless the DA has some very compelling evidence, an eyewitness, or a confession by Westerfield they havn't yet introduced in the public proceeding, I don't see how any jury will find Westerfield guilty of anything, much less murder. They haven't even shown -- beyond reasonable doubt -- that Danielle was murdered, much less by whom.

Sheesh, they spent the entire PH talking about the parents, right? Say, who is the defendant? LOL That was bad, I know..

She said she told Westerfield that she and her friends might return to Dad's the next Friday if she could get a baby sitter. Her husband, she recalled telling him, would be out of town.

This is not an invitation to kidnap and murder a child. It is an invitation to meet an adult woman at a bar, when her husband is out of town, and perhaps hook up later. There is no evidence that Westerfield was interested an anything other than adult women. Even the police admit the porn photos were exclusively "post pubescent" (my term) women. DW was interested in meeting Brenda's adult friends. He wanted to meet Brenda and her husband, and invite them to "adult" parties.

Can anyone tell me when DW had access to kidnap Danielle? He was in the bar until at least 10:30. He would have had to assume a babysitter was in the house after that. Babysitters stay in the living or family room of the house. They don't go upstairs and go to bed. How would you enter a house with the babysitter downstairs?

At 2:30, Brenda and friends were in the house. They did not leave until 2:30. At 3:30 Damon was up and noticed the door open. He shut it and it was still shut the following morning. So, the window of opportunity to kidnap Danielle was 2:30 to 3:30 a.m. Why would DW feel safe to enter the house then?

Isn't is more likely that the "kidnapper" was someone already in the house? Either the parents or one of the friends? We don't even know that Danielle was kidnapped. She could have had an accident in the house, or wandered out when the party was going on.
