He did and they ignored his requests.

John, is it possible that Barb is also a felon and cannot testify? Probably not, for she apparently has a valid real estate license. I believe they suspend or revoke such licenses, for a felony.
I'm not positive. But I have heard anecdotes where licenses were suspended, for non-payment of child support, and for DUI.
It fall under the clause permitting the Commissioner of Real Estate to suspend or revoke the license, of a licensee convicted of a crime (felony or misdemeanor) involving "moral turpitude." Sect. 10177(b) of Real Estate Law.
I'm sourcing from an out of date book, but if anything revocations have become more strict since my book.
You ask: They are in the mortgage business, so what is the stuff about real estate licenses? It is because most people practicing mortgage business in CA do so under Real Estate Broker and Agent licenses--it is required that they be licensed.

It is either good science or it isn't. If it is not, it should never be used by a prosecutor again, IMO. It is simply a single element, from among the several types of evidence.
Blood, DNA, Hair, Fiber, etc. could similarly be questioned, as to the "goodness" of the science.That issue has not yet been strongly argued, by either side.
After all of the wrangling over bug science, I'm not ready to put full weight on it, alone.
To: John Jamieson
There are various timelines among these "experts". How do you explain it?
To: Greg Weston
I been studying the bugmen's calculations, comparing one with another. As we progressed from one to another each took into consideration MORE possible temperature sets, MORE experimental tests results from MORE researches and became MORE conservative in using the magot mass corrections. Each time the range of possible egg deposition became a little wider.
Making the corrections for Goff's minor math errors, makes little difference in his conclusions. Each man tried to do a better job of widening the interval to see if the prosecution's theory of the crime could work, and yet all concluded that it COULD NOT.
I think ALL were intellicually honest and each felt a serious need to do the job right. My hat's off to them for their hard work and clear thinking. Anyone of them that could have made Dusek's case would have a job testifing for the prosecution for the rest of their lives. They applied the science as best it could be done and all came to the same conclusion. DW couldn't have done it alone.

>>>They applied the science as best it could be done and all came to the same conclusion. DW couldn't have done it alone.<<<
That's not the case at all. 3 of 7 say the bug infestation could have started before Feb 4. And the others explained how certain variables could have "skewed" their results in whatever way. If any of these jurors put any weight into this easily skewed science in deciding if Westerfield fate ONE WAY OR THE OTHER I'd say their minds are easily skewed.
To: Greg Weston
Come on Greg, you know that the "3 of 7" were not bugmen and that all 3 recommended that real bugmen be brought in to narrow the timeline. Please be honest in your posts.
To: John Jamieson
If you want to argue about someones title regarding this highly subjective field that's your perogative. So Cyril Wecht has no credibility whatever in your opinion?
I hate to tell you but most likely the jury will disregard all this bug BS.
To: bvw
>>>he is not interested in the actual reality<<<
Tell us all about the actual reality...Is it that Westerfield is actually innocent??
BWAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

So have you decided who was collecting the child rape porno yet? Was it the "fine young man" or Daddy?
To: Greg Weston
I know who was MAKING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY in Poway and was Brooke L. Rowland, arrested just after he dumped Danielle's body on 2/15.
To: Greg Weston
The "child rape porno" evidence was reviewed by a computer forensic expert. He has testified it was a deleted file. That means NOBODY was collecting it.

Sorry but I think you are not aware of the evidence. The illegal porno was on zip disks and CD's, that means someone put in on deliberatly. Do you think DW is a scumbag for trying to blame his son for the child rape porno?
To: Greg Weston
Hey Greggie.....can't you find anything else to do?
Either you carry on as you do as some kind of over-compensation for your own hang-ups or you need to get Daddy to fix your bike or skateboard so you can go back outside and play with your friends.
You contribute nothing here and even those who believe DW is guilty ignore you. Maybe it's time to realize that you aren't quite fitting in.
To: Southflanknorthpawsis
>>>and even those who believe DW is guilty ignore you.<<<
Really? Can you name a few of those people?
To: Greg Weston
Man oh man you have fired up the ol' disruptor engine and it is slipping some gears there, greggie. Just not firing on all cylinders -- and such a little three cylinder put-put as you all got up there in the cranial regions, missing on a cylinder is causing some ser-eee-oss backfiring. You have too much carbon build-up, greggie, way too much. You are gonna fossilize and lock it all up if'n you ain't careful. You all need a mighty rebuild job in the attic there, greggie. Some whole big amount of scrapping and turning -- a complete top-end re-machining. So much to take off there greggie, would be hardly anything left up there afterwards.
Be good, bro' -- but do get some help.

Thou art only mark'd for hot vengeance and the rod of heaven
Thou wayward hedge-born jolt-head!
Idol of idiot-worshippers!
Thou unmuzzled unwash'd skainsmate!
Truly thou art damned, like an ill-roasted egg, all on one side.
[Thou] mountain of mad flesh!
[You] live in the rank sweat of an enseamed bed,
Stew'd in corruption, honeying and making love ove the nasty sty!

"

the cd's AND zip files had child porn on them.
Where did you read there was only one recovered deleted file?

EXCERPTS FROM FELDMAN'S OPENING
snip
THEY HAD SEIZED HIS COMPUTERS. YOU SAW A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF NAKED GIRLS.
Snip
IN EACH OF THOSE PICTURES, NOT THE SIX SMALL
16 CHILDREN THAT YOU WERE SHOWN ON DIRECT, THEY'RE THERE, NO ISSUE.
17 BUT THE 1700 OR 1800 OTHER PHOTOS IN ANOTHER NOTEBOOK, AND A
18 NUMBER OF MPEGS, OKAY. WHAT MR. DUSEK REFERRED TO IS WHAT HE
19 CALLED "MEN FORCING THEMSELVES ON YOUNG GIRLS," OKAY,
(my notes:This is admitting they will see them..that's why he's attempting to show that dw did not download them)
