( 03-12-2002 ) - Understandably, the David Westerfield trial is getting a lot of media attention.
Even some San Diegans said that they can't get enough of it. But others believe that this case shouldn't be covered in the news at all.
For those in offices who do not have access to a television set during the workday, the radio is the only link to what is going on in court.
Some of those who listened by radio said that they felt compelled to tune in after following the van Dam case for so long.
But despite the focus on the Westerfield trial, what has not been forgotten is the tragic loss of Danielle van Dam. For that reason and others most people hope that the case does not become sensationalized as the public--and the jury--finds out what happened to seven-year-old Danielle van Dam.
