Fingerprints in Danielle's room--some of the U.S. papers reported that, too, but at the PH, there was no mention of it. I suspect that is another piece of misinformation released by the SDPD to "boil the jury pool" as one columnist put it. It would have been discussed, if they had them.

"She finds the stash of cocaine and eats it or maybe she saw them snort it, so she imitates them. Causes OD to the tiny body of Danielle. "

This is one scenario I've considered often, perhaps because my grandniece once nearly died after eating most of a bottle of vitamins when she was a wee one. She'd pulled a chair to the counter, climbed up, gotten the cupboard door open, and apparently opened the child-proof cap with ease. Kids should not be left unwatched, because they can be incredibly ingenuous when it comes to getting into trouble, some of which might threaten their own lives.
