Please write a complete sentence with a subject, a verb, an object, and some context. Unlike you, I do not have the ability to discern meaning from a semi-random string of words.

Did you watch today?

I did not watch it but would love to. It is not televised in Los Angeles.

I think the parents are contemptable for their lifestyle which (I think) subjects the children to more risk than a "normal" family. I do not approve of the Van Dam's lifestyle and I think it harms their children. BUT, it is certainly possible (if not probable) that the parents were lowlifes and some creep (Westerfield) abducted their daughter, raped and strangled her. IF Westerfield was not a part of their "swinging" group, and even Westerfield does not say he swung with the Van Dams, then these are two seperate reprehesible incidents. Let's get Danielle's killer first.

HI SPEC!! :)

SUMMARY OF DAY 1....

[Freedom2specul8]

I see you're just HOPING that the Van Dams are very directly involved in the murder. This case must give you a great deal of prurient entertainment and make your naughty parts tingle.

Now that was a creative come back.

[BunnySlippers]

The blood and hair -- by the GS cookie visit, or other days when Danielle may have entered the motorhome, possibly cut herslf. Murder has to be proved -- not just likely.

And if Westerfield is convicted I suppose you will be yelling that he "was framed". How about OJ ... a jury of almost all blacks didn't think he was guilty. How about you? I suspect you think OJ shoudl not have been convicted.

The parents may be slimeballs but the judge has said he will severely limit the defense's attempts to turn this into a trial about the parent's lifestyle.

Uh.......I think it's a little too late for that. My guess is that their lifestyle is about all the jurors and observers remember about today's trial.

[John Jamieson]

Yes, I think OJ's son did it.

Sure was interesting when Feldman asked Damon whether Brenda was uncomfortable with Danielle around Barb...whether Brenda told DVD that she was uncomfortable with Barb being around Danielle.

Isn't this the same Barb that has had intercourse with Damon, in the presence of Brenda...

Noooo, she and her buddies shouldn't be suspects...

from same link
18. "RE: Keep in mind...." R.R. reported from his sources that he was close to making a deal with the police-- specifically, he came close to telling them where the body was and then he decided he needed to talk to a lawyer first. I sure hope this will be allowed in court!

[John Jamieson]

I thought the it was interesting when DVD said something to the effect that a huge number of prople had at one time or another been in the house.

[BunnySlippers]

Yes, I think OJ's son did it.

Even though OJ's blood was on Nicole's front pathway and her blood was in his SUV? And a tabloid no less located a picture of OJ in Bruno Magli shoes which he said he never owned (this came up only in the civil trial). The evidence against OJ was overwhelming and none against his son.

They can track the ping from the nearest tower. Depends on what the range of each tower is. If it's 10 miles radius the tower will pick up the same ping no matter where your are. The cell phone was a warrant issue.

But no that's not explosive. Explosive was something said.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

What did we learn from this? We can assume that Damon made the story up, because he never put the child to bed or he would have closed the blinds.

Most excellent point !!!!!!

[John Jamieson]

DNA of son very similar to father. No one looked very hard at son, who was known to be violent. More fun to get dad. And dad probably wanted it that way.

[Poohbah]

If he said ANYTHING implying that he knew where the body was, and it's allowed in, Westerfield's doomed.
