((David Westerfield shook silently inside the courtroom,
but outside it was anything but quiet as the jury
delivered its verdict.
Guilty. Yeah! Alright!
Brenda Van damme and her family hustled out of the
courthouse without saying a word, after the jury
convicted Westerfield on all charges. The six men and
six women deliberated for nearly two weeks, and
determined that Westerfield kidnapped and killed
7-year old Danielle van damme.
Were these, and are these, your verdicts as read?
Yes, yes, yes.
Danielles father put her to bed February 1st, and
never saw her again. The defense argued there was no
physical evidence linking Westerfield to the familys
home. And they criticized Danielles parents, saying
they smoked dope and invited sex partners home on the
night their daughter disappeared.
(DUSEK)
Danielles blood is on that jacket.
Prosecutors said Westerfields jacket was only part of
the DNA evidence. Detectives found Danielles
fingerprints and hair on Westerfields bed and in
between his sheets. And in an emotional closing
argument, Jeff Dusek asked the jury to imagine if
Danielle herself could somehow let them know who
killed her.
JEFF DUSEK/PROSECUTOR:
Ive already told you, with my hair and where you
found it. Orange fiber on my clothes and where you
found it. And with my fingerprints. And Ive told you
with my blood.

Westerfield will go back to jail until next

he dies for these crimes. Chris Lawrence CBS News Los
