Thanks. You all are an Encyclopedia of info!

Okay. BBL. May have to go to dinner first. S'lapper's taking me out.

You just missed it. We have discussed this at length. The baby escaped through a weakining in the top of the Uterus wall. They think that the tape (was NEVER said to duct tape on the baby) was just junk floating in the water. The duct tape on Laci was used to tape her up like a sausage. There may have been some thought in Peterson's mind of trying to keep the legs tightly together. All these things we will probably never know except that Connor was NOT born alive and murdered. Pure B.S.

[Canadian Outrage]

I just heard it also. Probably because it is not the defense that has to meet a threshold to get to trial. I don't see why the Defense should have any right to call witnesses. And Yes, they DO need the Judge's okay to call her.

[Canadian Outrage]

Whaddya mean, Laci walked right past my house on December 24th right here in Kelowna, B.C.!!

[Canadian Outrage]

I certainly never heard the dogs tracked her to the park. I heard the direct opposite. The dogs went the other direction.

I heard the dogs never tracked Laci any further than the driveway of her house.

Out of the dozens of divorce cases I personally know of, not ONE ever imputed income to a woman. Not even when the woman was a college graduate and already established in a high wage earning profession such as a surgical nurse.
Family court would be especially reluctant to impute income to any mother even when the children are grown or nearly grown. This is all the more true when the mother in question is a brand new mother. Family court is one of the most PC institutions in this country. Keep in mind that most family court judges are elected.

Sorry, I have to disagree with most of your post. Are you a California lawyer? First of all, spousal support in California, if applicable, is generally based on half the length of what is termed a "long marriage," which has been determined to be approximately 9 years. If I'm not mistaken, Laci and Scott were only married about 3 years. Definitely not spousal support material. Secondly, don't confuse spousal and child support. Some people do get "family support," but others (like me) get separate awards.

I'm a (California) paralegal who had to do my own divorce case pro per, because my crazy ex scared off all the lawyers on both sides. I sat in court for four solid years with my case and watched dozens and dozens of others unfold. You'd better believe the California Family Court imputes income to not only professional women, but oftentimes women who have been in longterm marriages...like ME. Mine lasted 18 years, and even though I stayed home to raise my three children the last 8 years of it, I had income imputed to me. That was when I was NOT working and had been a stay at home mom. Laci WAS working as a substitute teacher. And in my case my kids were small and the man was abusive (we had to flee the house with our lives), and we certainly were not "awarded the house." The house was ordered SOLD by the court. This is commonly done in California.

I don't post this to be disagreeable or make a big deal about my situation, only to point out that I have personal, direct evidence contradicting your contentions. There's more I could disagree with in your post but I won't bother.
BTW, I had much better luck with my case AFTER the attorneys got out. They certainly know how to milk an impossible situation for all it's worth.

They're clearly trying to intimidate Amber into calling it quits and trying to get out of testifying. Geragos is taking the low road... big surprise.

I think the buzz about Geragos maybe subpoenaing Amber to this hearing is also an intimidation tactic. Guess we'll see.

If Geragos keeps on this way he'll get hoisted on his own petard. I wish I could clink champagne glasses with Amber and Scott's other victims (well.. the live ones), if/when that happens.

[Canadian Outrage]

Your right. The scent dog stopped at or in the driveway. The conclusion was that Laci left that place in a vehicle. I think we all pretty much know that by now.

[mombonn]

discussion of more witnesses who thought they may have seen his pregnant wife, Laci, walking their dog Christmas Eve morning.

It would be interesting to hear these witnesses describe what the woman they saw was wearing - tan pants or black?

[clouda]

I remember the dogs tracked Laci's scent on a route that went very close to Scotty's warehouse.

I have read since then that the dogs tracked her scent all the way to the bay, and MG is trying to exclude this information.

The defense has also asked the court to toss out testimony from a hypnotized neighbor, evidence from tracker dogs that lead investigators to the waters of the Bay and information gathered from GPS tracking devices hidden in vehicles Peterson used in days between his wife's disappearance and his April arrest for her murder.

[Jennikins]

wow... he really wants to slam her.... Allred, I hope is prepared to chew him out! ;o)

She'll chew him out good! She's like a barracuda. I would not want to be in her line of fire. He is no competion to her.

[Sandylapper]

Okay, Vel, here's the link I was referring to. I stand corrected. It says that the bloodhound veered away from the park.

Really going to dinner now. BBL after I've caught up with the news.

Ok if the dog walking scenerio is true (which I don't believe it is) Could have been like this.

Laci starts her walk in the park at 9:30 a.m. These two men grab her haul her off to the bushes the dog high tails it back home around 10:18 a.m. and the neighbor sees him with leash still on. Then after the two guys are done with Laci they are dragging her along the trail and that Campos women then sees them at 10:50. Timeline could work if this were the scenerio.

Sandy the thing with the receipt was the neighbor who found the dog went to the store and her receipt was time stamped so she determined the time she saw the dog by the time she went to the store and backed the time off a little as she saw the dog just before going to the store.

Velveeta, I too remember reading that the tracking dogs didn't go the direction of the park. They went the opposite way.

It may be that later they brought in tracking dogs to go over the park but the first dogs did not go find a walking scent and go there.

[Canadian Outrage]

I believe that one stubborn little doggie just sat on his butt in the driveway and said "Not movin, won't do it!!

[Canadian Outrage]

So where's the 'Lapper taking you? Somewhere fancy I hope. After all this hard work posting, you deserve a nice fancy restaraunt right? LOL

[RGSpincich]

Yep, it's true. Scott said he last saw her in a white top and black pants..barefoot, pregnant and mopping the kitchen floor. But, voila! Laci washes up in the clothes she wore the NIGHT BEFORE she was reported missing.

Mitchell, Maldonado, et al., all saw her in the black and white also. The testimony of the clothes rep has totally debunked the faded out black pants theory and has discredited the "eyewitnesses"...further.

[Velveeta]

Somehow I don't think that's a good thing. LOL

[Velveeta]

Geragos must also be hopping mad that Allred is able to comment on the case. I must admit that all the legal posturing has me fascinated. Maybe I should have been a lawyer?
