Check it twice a year. And get a new one about every three years, even if it seems to work.

Howlin, I will never forget that December and how graciously and with all your horrible pain, you pleaded with everyone, via FR, to get detectors. I know a lot of people did, including me.

I also bought them for my daughters' homes. I always think of you when I walk by and catch that little green light out of the corner of my eye.

I took your advice on the CO detector Howlin. I had no idea that it could really happen. My husband had even said, Natural Gas is odorless but they make it have an odor so that you can detect it. BUT, if you were sleeping or something, that wouldn't matter a hoot.!! Your pain must have been overwhelming.!!

Today's testimony re-cap from Reuters:

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (Reuters) - Scott Peterson's sister-in-law, testifying at his murder trial on Thursday, undermined key elements of his statements to police as to when his wife Laci vanished from their central California home and what she was wearing.
In the second day of testimony at the sensational double murder trial, Laci Peterson's half-sister Amy Rocha told jurors she saw Laci on Dec. 23, 2002 -- the evening before she supposedly vanished from her Modesto home -- wearing cream-colored pants similar to the ones found four months later on her dead body.

Prosecutors were expected to argue that Rocha's testimony proves that Laci never changed into the black pants that Scott Peterson said she was wearing when he last saw her on the next day, Christmas Eve.

Police believe Laci died either late on the night of Dec. 23 or in the early morning hours of Dec. 24.

"She had a black blouse with green polka dots or flowers, cream colored pants and black shoes," said Rocha, a 23-year-old hairstylist.

"As you sit here today, is there any doubt in your mind as to what color those pants are?" asked prosecutor Rick Distaso.

"No doubt," Rocha said.

Rocha was the last member of Laci's family to see the murdered woman alive and the first to take the witness stand against Scott Peterson. If convicted of murdering Laci and the couple's unborn son, Conner, the 31-year-old Modesto man could be sentenced to death.

Defense attorney Mark Geragos, who had just begun his cross-examination of Rocha when testimony concluded for the week, is expected to summon witnesses who say they saw Laci walking her dog on the morning of Christmas Eve and that she was wearing black pants.

Rocha said Scott and Laci regularly visited her at the salon where she worked for haircuts -- Scott once a month, Laci every five to six weeks. She said that on Dec. 23, 2002, she met Scott and Laci at her salon at about 5:45 p.m., and Laci sat nearby as she cut Scott's hair.

Well the Prosecutor has a cement "expert" listed to testify. They must have something to prove with regard to the cement. Did any of you ever see that picture that was posted just a couple months after Laci went missing? It showed Snotty standing in his driving with a pile of bricks beside him. The caption said "Scott Peterson's latest bowel movements"!! ROFL!! That really cracked me up because the Police were searching his house big time then.

Laura Ingle said she saw a few jurors look at Snott today on the way in, some smiled and nodded as if to say hello. Greta says this is not something the Pros likes to see...any interaction between the defendant and the jurors.
They better not do the thumbs up thing!!

Thanks girl - I needed that boost. Although I remain steadfast in my perception of WHO killed Laci, CA juries do worry me a bit. As to Geragos, he's the most over rated CLOWN around. Let's not forget, Michael Jackson fired his butt!!

;) That was a California jury, too. And they voted for the death penalty.

Let's hope that the only fruits and nuts in the courtroom are the Petersons!

Let's hope that it's just nervousness because they already know they are very likely going to fry the guy.

Yes I think your right, Peterson viewed that baby as an intolerable "encumbrance". Besides the fact that he just plain wanted to be "free"!! Even divorcing Laci was beneath him because of his greed for money. It's really sad because although a divorce would have likely hurt Laci alot being that she was completely UNaware of what kind of man she married. Laci was the type "to know her was to LOVE her"!! Scotty never counted on the outrage that would erupt over something happening to Laci!! I notice, that Peterson never established any lasting male friendships at all. He has NO friends, NONE. There has been nobody at this trial on his side but that sickening family that are acting like white trash. In fact, they ARE white trash imo

I don't know..I don't like the sound of that. And a few times MG got the jurors chuckling from reports...once when he took a jab at LE.

Jack I think people are just so outraged over what happened to this beautiful lovely and innocent young girl, wanting so very much to be a mother, that it has sparked the interest of the world really. Her shining beautiful face and the innocence of her and her baby together with the utter BRUTALITY of this crime has captured the publics attention. We want to SEE Justice for her and Connor done!!
