Scott would have to take the stand and say that the pliers were kept in the house, anywhere. I doubt that he will..sure MG can imply that with any witness, but the jury will wonder if that was the case, why doesn't he confirm it himself???

Not *any* witness. It would have to be someone very familiar with Snott's house. And who would be able to do that? Only the Rocha's (who won't cover for him) or Lee or Whacky. IMO they aren't credible to a jury. So Snott's SOL there.

You know what else? Hair isn't going to get caught in those things unless they are opened, and then shut. When they lie in a toolbox, they are not being opened and shut. A hair that fell on them would not remain with them.

True... Scott cannot take the stand. That liar would wither during cross and just have to start bawling, or have a fake panic attack or something.

I've been pondering the pliers...

We know from "leaks" that his fishing gear was NOT used. I'm surmising once Laci was placed in the boat in the warehouse while he was prepping her, he reached into his "car toolbox" and took out the pliers to aid in securing the weights to her body.

Scott SAID (on the Diane Sawyer interview) that he cut himself "that day" reaching into his toolbox in his car and being the man that he is, he bleeds. He did NOT say he reached into his tacklebox while fishing.

Once her body was in the boat with all those weights attached, there wasn't much room left for poles and a tacklebox.

My point IS (I'm getting around to a point) IF his fishing gear was UNUSED, what other reason was there for him to use a pliers IN the boat, THAT DAY??

This was the FIRST time he launched the surprise boat and he goes fishing in the bay......armed with a pair of pliers. Hopefully, his tacklebox was found covered in a layer of dust.

What excuse could he possibly provide for removing a pair of pliers from his car toolbox and leaving it in his boat? And those pliers happened to have Laci's hair....
