This is not so much an article as it is a query about the Westerfield case. I thought I remembered during the trial or immediately thereafter, that David Westerfield had already told his attorney where the child's body had been dumped. The attorney did not tell the authorities because of attorney-client privilege and the fact that he was still attempting to help his client get a lighter sentence (or get off altogether.)The whole case was simply beyond my comprehension. How an intelligent and well educated man (although perhaps not a well rounded education) could possibly give in to his most base, dishonorable, and perverse inclinations, is unfathomable. He surely knew that he had those urges for years based on what his niece said about him, so why on earth didn't he go to a psychiatrist or a good psychologist for counseling? Did he even try to channel his urges into something that would not be harmful to anyone else?? He is obviously extremely self-centered, an ego-maniacal jerk who has no compassion for any living creature but himself. I wonder if he has ever had the slightest regret or remorse for the fear and pain he inflicted on Danielle. I doubt it.
