Looks like snotty has heavily gelled hair....and a little curl right in the middle of his forehead.

[Jackie-O]

Anyone out there to post info for those of us at work without TV?? Proceedings should be starting now.

[melodie]

I will be in and out today, but will post anything i hear.

[Yaelle]

Whoa. I hope that duct tape and that paint from the buoy get him and they don't even need to keep splitting that hair.

[Yaelle]

Could Duck Tape Be Smoking Gun?

If the jury doesn't convict him, amybe we could sic PETA on him.

[Yaelle]

I also agree with Sharon that it was way too soon for Scott to have used the word "missing." You come home and you wonder where your spouse is, and in that case (keys and car home, pg wife not) it's OK to be somewhat alarmed, but MISSING?

[melodie]

With some of the goods being released from the prosecution side, what do you think the chances are for MG to convince SP to plead to life?

[Velveeta]

Haven't heard anything yet other than the Defense expert is scheduled to tesifiy about the mtDNA. Nothing on FOX yet about the duct tape either.

[Jackie-O]

Thank you Mel and Vel!

[Velveeta]

I agree with you all about it being too soon to call Laci "missing".

Scott must have made the point that Laci was going to walk the dog exorbitantly and excessively clear. SP must have thought he was pretty clever by leaving the leash on the dog.

[melodie]

CTV will have a special on the case at 1:30 et today.

[Jackie-O]

Cool, I should be home from work by then.

[Yaelle]

I can see where Geragos might ask SP to plead life, if not right now, then soon.

The thing with Scotty is that he is looking through narcissistic glasses.

I mean, come on, with just the evidence WE have seen, why would Scott ever even consider that he would escape punishment from this crime??? How could he hatch this plan and think it would ever work, and he'd just "mourn" for a year or so and then live his life as a free man?? You couldn't have a 3-digit IQ and ever think the murder/mysterious kidnapping of a darling, beloved pregnant woman and the unborn son she so wanted would just "pass away" from public interest. And he probably does have a 3-digit IQ. So he is just not seeing reality.

I know that John Douglas, the famous Mindhunter, would say that Scott has the characteristics of someone who has murdered before and gotten away with it. He really does. So he might not plead out. Unless Mommie begged him to??

[Yaelle]

SP must have thought he was pretty clever by leaving the leash on the dog.

He got that from O.J. Remember? The bodies were discovered when a walking couple were alerted by a dog with a leash hanging started acting peculiarly. The dog also had blood on him in that case.

Maybe Scott strangled Laci and thus had no blood to smear on the dog (not an original thought in his head). But perhaps the GHB or whatever made her vomit, and of course there must have been loss of fluids after death, and that's why he Cloroxed the house after removing the body.

[Jackie-O]

No way do I see Snotty mourning for a year or so. I know of 2 men in the past couple of years that have only mourned their wives for a matter of several weeks before "moving on with their lives". Men tend to need to find a mate quickly, IMO because they are so used to having their women around to take care of most of their needs. These 2 men I know don't even know how to work the washing machines! Laci being the "Martha Jr." she was not doubt took care of everything, including the gardening. Snotty was too busy out chasing skirts, socializing, and golfing to be any type of house husband.
And someone like Snotty with the ego and libido he has will not wast anytime to get back into circulation.

[Jackie-O]

wast=waste

"KTVU - Prosecution may have duct tape from a "missing poster" that has SP's fingerprints matches duct tape found with Laci's body."

Tehehehe! I had to read this sentence over and over to get that you meant the duct tape on the poster and the duct tape found on Laci's body matched.

It reads like finger prints matched. I think you forgot a period somewhere. :-)

[Spunky]

"I was getting really scared by then when he said 'missing.' He didn't say she wasn't home or he couldn't find her. He said 'missing."'

This is the most telling statement of all.

If you have gone fishing all day and come home around 4:30p.m. or 5:00p.m. You don't call the mother and say your wife is "missing" at 5:30 p.m.

[RGSpincich]

LOL. Yep I was rushing out to a job.

[RGSpincich]

If you have gone fishing all day and come home around 4:30p.m. or 5:00p.m. You don't call the mother and say your wife is "missing" at 5:30 p.m.

Yeah, ordinarily, it would have been him who was "missing".

"Hi, I'm back. Anybody been looking for me?" - Would have been a more fitting question for SP to ask.
