Hi Julie!!!!!!!!! I'm at work too but had a few minutes here. I kept checking back and NOTHING had been posted. You must have a day off today tho right?

LOL - Yes, Geragos is busy preparing his motions to be defeated!! Of all the nerve, he thinks that the interviews that scott HIMSELF GRANTED, Should be excluded. Does he think that by the time this trial is even 1/3rd over that the Jury won't have concluded that Peterson is a pathological liar?

whoops, gotta go for a minute BUT BRB!!

"Of all the nerve, he thinks that the interviews that scott HIMSELF GRANTED, Should be excluded."

The good news is that I don't think he's get those excluded. I just wish I could see Scotty's face when they play them in court! Can you imagine how hard it would be to make this client likeable???

Oh I agree, I think it won't take too long and the Jury is gonna HATE Snotty P. Just think as they listen to HIM lying to Amber. Lie upon lie upon lie upon lie! Then his affairs etc. I doubt it will be hard for a Jury to conclude that a man with absolutely NO values and the character of a sewer rat, could kill his pregnant wife if she got inconvenient to HIM. The Big, Me Myself and I, guy!!

I just heard a reporter on Greta say that we could get to jury questionnaires by the end of the week. That means we'll get through the motions on GPS, the dogs & the hypnotized witness in the next few days. I wonder if we'll learn anything new?

I doubt we'll hear any of the evidence but what I DO believe is that ALL of the things Geragasbag is attempting to have excluded, will in fact, come in as evidence. I mean, I can't believe he would actually say that GPS is not accepted in the Scientific community. It's been used now for ages. In fact, I watched a case on Forensic Files last night in which a man was actually found and convicted because GPS helped read a blurry car license plate number that couldn't be read or enhanced enough to be read by LE. It was a fascinating case. The dogss, - well they've been being trained and used for years also!! The wiretaps were ALL obtained legally and are material to the case, the witness that was hypnotized will probably come in, but Geragos may be able to destroy some of her testimony. I say may, it is no sure thing that he will. I have always had the feeling that that lady, Kristin, who spoke with Scotty while he was "packing up his truck box" was likely wearing black pants and a long sleeved white shirt. I think that's where he got the description of what Laci was "supposedly" wearing. I really believe Geragos has a very tough case to defend. All his "theories" show that he really has no case. I guess, it will be a battle of experts on the gestational age of little Connor. That loose piece of tape around the baby's necks is such a red herring. It is simply something that was floating around in the water. After all it wasn't JUST around his neck it was over his shoulder and under one arm. That's hardly strangulation!!

Prez day.... ;o)

I agree, from what I understand the hypnotized witness is the only thing that he may get excluded. There are procedures to be used when using hypnosis. If they followed those, they may be okay. Hopefully they thoroughly interviewed her before the hypnosis. If they did, they should be able to use that information.
