New evidence implicates Westerfield: (Dusek Fires Final Shot?) Trial Thread, July 10, 2002

Union Trib ^ | July 10, 2002 | Steve Perez/Greg Magnus

[John Jamieson]

That's a better explaination than the prosecution has comeup with so far.

[Rheo]

Thank you...can finally put away these transcripts and stamp SOLVED on this pile of messy notes.

And it was so obvious...dang.

Some one asked about impeached testimony or impeaching witnesses. Sorry if its been answered.

2: to cast doubt on: as

a: to attack the validity of (a judgment or verdict) because of judicial or
juror misconduct

b: to challenge the credibility of (a witness) or the validity of (a witness's
testimony)
Example: a witness, including a criminal defendant who testifies in his own
behalf, may be impeached on the ground of former conviction -- W. R.
LaFave and A. W. Scott, Jr.
(see also impeachment evidence at evidence)
(compare rehabilitate)
Note: A witness may be impeached by character evidence or
circumstantial evidence relating to the credibility of the witness, and esp.
on the grounds of prior convictions, prior inconsistent statements,
contradiction by other evidence, and the witness's reputation for truth,
prior acts of misconduct, and partiality.

It's not like the testimony is thrown out, just that it can be used by the jury in weighing the validity of testimony as they consider and make a decision.

P.S. Forgot. One of the boys fired a .22 rifle at the UFO from Danielle's open doorway as she was being drawn up into the ship. That's where the rimfire cartridge came from.

Not only cleaned the floors, but vacuumed! I know that all husbands are so thoughtful that when they vacuum, they always remember to discard the dirt bag ! RIGHT LADIES !!?!?!?!?!?!?!

"OH Right!" "As if they're supposed to know where the dirt goes to when you vacuum." "He probably dosen't even know how to turn it on."
(Best blonde "Brenda The Bar-Fly" impression.)

[John Jamieson]

I'll bet Damon knows just as much about video cameras as he does about alarms. Bet he had a few hidden for his own private enjoyment.

[Rheo]

Could be....wonder if there were actually painted Volkswagon bumpers somewhere else and Keene just verified to him..it wasn't at DW's.....did the defense have that blue paint under her nails tested and it came back as paint to a Volkswagon??

[John Jamieson]

LE would have never noticed the hole in the ceiling, they were crawling around on the floor.

[Spunky]

Now that is funny.

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Did ju do dat?

[Rheo]

wonder if the VD alarm chip yielded any info and if we will be hearing from an alarm expert?

[UCANSEE2]

Yep. The UFO was BLUE. Also, after the experiments, they dumped the body out on .... Guess where?

[UCANSEE2]

She must not have been in her bed that night.

Based on what we have heard in testimony from OTHER PEOPLE (like neighbors), not Brenda or Damon, when was the most recent time she was seen?

[John Jamieson]

Dusek sure does ask alot of questions about the sand toy trailer, but nothing ever seems to come of it. Bumpers in there? Body was in there?

[John Jamieson]

Dehesa UFOport? Area 69

[cyncooper]

Basically I think what they are saying is: The fibers may come from "XXX" towels.

hoosiermama, on the other thread I explained that these fibers aren't *from* the towels, they were found *on* the towels. Source of the evidentiary fibers is unknown.

[UCANSEE2]

Since I haven't been here from the begining, can someone fill me in on what happened to the dog?

To quote one of our famous posters,

You mean LAYLA, the PEEING, BARKLESS, WONDER DOG ?

The one that went from a young jump all over everyone excitable dog that liked to wrestle with Danielle to a quiet slow barking, non-house messing dog ?

[John Jamieson]

Probably cheap Earl Swibe paint job on that UFO.

[Spunky]

Boy! This is messing up your mind isn't it.

Take a Tylenol and go to bed. ;-)

My complaint about Lord High Prosecutor Dooshek

My original goal for this letter was to scrutinize Lord High Prosecutor Dooshek's remarks point by execrable point. Unfortunately, Lord Dooshek's focus wanders so wildly that he never actually finishes any of his points. I think you will notice this in the ensuing discussion. For the sake of review, we must understand that one thing that Lord Dooshek does well is ruin my entire day. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible. It's quite easy for him to declaim my proposals. But when is Lord Dooshek going to provide an alternative proposal of his own? It is only when one has answers to that question is it possible to make sense of Lord Dooshek's communications, because Lord Dooshek's claim that anyone who dares to criticize the obvious incongruities presented by him and his trained seals can expect to suffer hair loss and tooth decay as a result is factually unsupported and politically motivated. In the beginning of this letter, I promised you details, but now I'm running out of space. So here's one detail to end with: I can't help it if Lord High Prosecutor Dooshek can't take a joke.

COMPLAINT GENERATOR It really is a lot of fun.

[UCANSEE2]

She must not have been in her bed that night.

WHO, Brenda, Danielle, or LAYLA ??
