Westerfield Jury Reaches Verdict
Panel Notifies Judge
UPDATED: 10:06 a.m. PDT August 21, 2002
SAN DIEGO -- Jurors have reached a verdict in the trial of the man charged with killing 7-year-old Danielle van Dam.
After deliberating for more than nine days, the panel sent a note to Judge William Mudd saying it had reached agreement. The lawyers and defendant David Westerfield are being called back to the courtroom, where the verdict will be read starting at 11 a.m.
Westerfield is charged with murder, kidnapping and misdemeanor possession of child pornography. If convicted of the special circumstance murder allegation, he could be sentenced to death.
Danielle was last seen alive on Feb. 1, when her father put her to bed in their two-story home in suburban northern San Diego. After a massive search, the girl's nude body was found on Feb. 27 along a rural road east of San Diego. Westerfield became the prime suspect within days of her disappearance and was arrested two days before the body was discovered after tests showed that blood spots on his clothes came from the girl.
Watch NBC 7/39 for live coverage of the decision. You can also watch it on the Internet in the NBC 7/39 FeedRoom.

It has been a long journey.

I'm really thinking it could be not guilty. Why would it have taken so long - if they all thought him guilty? I don't think a person would have changed thier mind from reasonable doubt to guilty - but the other way around is possible - and I think that's what could have taken a while.

Think you need to clarify your post. It was like watching a drunk trying to get down the street. by kayti
I am sorry but, about that hair thing. What the hell is up with the picture of a hair against a white background being "compared" to another hair on a pinkish/orange background?
If I was a member of the jury I would JUST HAVE to get up and point out.
