Can anyone discuss this a bit more? I wouldn't want to be in a group claiming to know whether DW was guilty or not either, but at times lawyers have blown their case on purpose, as in the conviction of James Earl Ray for shooting Dr. King. I forget what error the lawyer made, sorry, don't ask. Does it really sound like a good move by Westerfield's lawyer to have him claim to know where Danielle's body was, when maybe he did not? Did you have a feeling, as I sometimes did, that others may have planted the evidence and DW wasn't good at defending himself?
There must have been some other point they would have gained by claiming he knew where the body was in order to get the plea bargain?
IOW, can a plea bargain have several terms, not just one? I do remember that people here didn't like the insect specialist. Wasn't he supposed to be a PhD, and does anyone remember why we all said he wasn't very smart? LacyWood, do you know/ remember any more about it? I didn't remember that much. What exactly was the insect error?
Good post, imo, and is Camper right that this confessor's DNA would be on file somewhere? Did they even check it, in connection with either of these little girl murders. I remember noticing that JonBenet and Danielle had some similarities. Both were taking piano lessons, and maybe some languages, and possibly Danielle would have been entering pageants before too long. Her mother took a lot of pride in her as Patsy did in JonBenet, but how would this suicide have known? Unless he was working for some mastermind that hates any kind of pride in women or little girls?
