But, still, if forced, I will say that unless someone could show me where Mr Westerfield intentionally paid somebody something to obtain these images, not just accidentally strayed into them...
if they could show me that he actually had viewed these images, not just by accident they were included in a huge pack of porn for which he paid $3.50...
Show me that he knew he had it, knew the people in it were underage, and knew it was illegal to have it.
Show me that porn was a part of his life, that he made profits from porn which I assume DAMON DID DO...(!)
Also one would need to assume that the law which would make just a passive viewer of porn, not a creator or seller of it, is constitutional.
You would also have to prove that the search warrants allowed such a fishing expedition, and that they were not obtained by fraud and lies which in fact they were.
If Westerfield is convicted, the Bill of Rights is on the trash heap. Wonder if Zimbabwe might want to buy a good used Constitution, doesn't look like we'll be needing it here any more.
You ask us to assume too much that is up for grabs.
Maybe I'm just reading too much of my opinion into what I think a majority here feel about DW's guilt or innocence. Or maybe those who feel he is innocent are the loudest or most frequest posters to these threads.
Maybe I should revise the question slightly.
How's this...
If the jury finds DW not guilty of the charges related to the abduction and murder of DVD. Then how do you think the jury should find on the child porn charges?
So he "accidentally strayed into them" and they magically jumped onto CD's that he kept laying around? Maybe "space aliens" are responsible??
>>>Show me that he knew he had it, knew the people in it were underage, and knew it was illegal to have it.<<<
It was laying around but he knew nothing about it? Westerfield is too ignorant to know that images of kids described as young as Danielle being raped are not illegal? Are you claiming this?
>>>Show me that porn was a part of his life, that he made profits from porn which I assume DAMON DID DO...(!)<<<
What the hell are you blathering about?? I'll tell you what belongs on a trash heap, Your Post 30.
