The article states that at least one juror seemed in sympathy with Dusek. FWIW.

BugGuys 4, Dusek 0
And Dusek paid for two of them!
No tiebreaker needed.
And, now Feldmans bringing in an expert to testify that any expert that places Danielle's death two weeks before she went missing, must be NUTS!

Why did I get a message that this thread has been moved to chat? I don't understand what that means.

Why did I get a message that this thread has been moved to chat? I don't understand what that means. The moderator moves the Westerfield threads to General Interest forum (I have no idea why it's still called chat). This keeps the posts from cluttering up the news articles.

Aha! Now, I know why I have so much trouble finding the threads. Thanks.

The article states that at least one juror seemed in sympathy with Dusek. FWIW. Not that the media would ever lie or spin, but if this is true, it's looking more and more like a hung jury.
Since politics might be the main motivation for this trial, I wonder whether politics would dictate a retrial, or just let it drop off the front pages so everyone forgets?

Now we need that photo of Colin again, and Ryan to introduce your tunes. Wonder if Wayne will be singing them. LOL
How is it that the body just happens to reveal so little? Not case of death, not time of death. I thought they testified that the blood settling, etc. was consistent with not having been moved.
The refrigerator theory would explain much, but is it contradicted by the 'not having been moved' testimony? Or would that be meaningless if she were stretched out the same way in the refrigerator? It would need to be a walk-in, and a van for transport.
I don't trust the parents on anything they've said or done, but I find it hard to believe that they're smart or cold enough to have pulled off this task.
Just hope that Feldman's faith in the jury getting the bugguys' conclusions is realized.
To: fnord
I suspect in case of a hung jury, a retrial would be planned, possibly waiting for results where these entomologists could better duplicate the weather & body conditions in this case and experiment till they had an answer more to the pros. liking. No statue of limitations on murder. And if not, then the case dropped. In reality, it might not be a bad idea IMO, I would prefer to have a clearer answer. Of course when you throw politics into the equation, anything could happen IMO.
To: fnord
Good ones!
I thought of:
Feldman Got Mine and I Got the Shaft
Raposody in Orange and Blue
Dehesa You're bringin' me Down.
Bug Busters Theme
etc.

I wonder how Dusek is going to explain to the jury in his summation (the middle of Feb.) drop date and DW's guilt.
I would think that he has to address the info. and somehow give cause as to why the jury should dismiss those dates. I wonder if he can and what reliable options he has?????
