Hey...You don't have to tell me how crazy California is. I live here!

A couple of years ago, I was deeply involved in forum wars, here and over at Court TV, about a trial where the defense attorney was praised to the skies and the prosecutors were continually slammed.
There were times when I thought that Nancy Grace and cyncooper and Bunny and I were the only people who could see through the defense tricks.
Fortunately, I was wrong. The jury saw right through it, and delivered a guilty verdict.

It is so hard to imagine that we were in the minority on FR. It was a challenge. I'd better stop there. :)

The good part was getting to know you, Red ... and cyncooper. Both of you smart ladies with good hearts ... and super sleuths!

They better not do the thumbs up thing!!

Uh, yeah, you're right they'd better not. Otherwise it will end up like the Tyco trial where the woman juror gave the very visible nod to the crooks on the defense. It caused an uproar which resulted in a mistrial less than two weeks later.

CA juries do worry me a bit.

Outside of the OJ jury which California verdicts did you find out of line?

Martha Stewart show used to be on from 9-10, their time?

Maybe this meringue business that Geragos is so smug about might later come back to stab him in the back!

Scott's official story is that he left his home at 9:30--which would mean Martha was only half over.

What if the alleged "mention of meringue" on the 24th happened AFTER 9:30?

Uh-oh.

read a ways back that Amy identified the pants as the ones she WAS wearing. She just wasn't wearing the ones that she had her facial done in in the afternoon. This is getting really mixed up. The story keeps changing.

"... because he talks lovingly about Laci and says he hopes to find her."

Yeah, but for the first few days after Laci "disappeared", IIRC, he forgot to even MENTION his dear darling wife to Amber!

Yes, we've heard that he left that sweet little message on Laci's cellphone. We've also heard that Laci's cellphone's battery had been dead for weeks before that, and Scott knew this.

My question: if your cellphone has a dead battery, how can someone leave a message on it? This may well be possible... I just don't know. Can someone explain this to me?

(I've never left a cellphone around for long periods with a dead battery.)

It's the Simpson trial that I was referring to specifically but what I meant is that so many California people are really liberal and they appear to be taken in by "Hollywoodesque" type Lawyers. THAT's what worries me. As one lady from the midwest says, IF that happened here, he'd already be on death row. I hope I'm wrong. But hearing that jurors are smiling at Peterson and NOT showing disapproval of the Peterson's behaviour is what I mean. THEY should be very disturbed by this.

Actually I heard it was left on the answering machine, not the cell phone. I could be wrong.

YES, it can take a message.

I wish they COULD talk about what a despicable, childish, bratty narcissist he is, but the state can't bring up his character--unless Scott decides to bring up his "good" (yeah, right) character first.

I know that narcissism is more than just character, but I doubt the courts see it that way; as you know, they have a very narrow definition of mental illness. No room for the vicissitudes of all Scott's neuroses, lol!

If a character in a movie spoke like Lee, Asian groups would picket the theater for racial stereotyping!

How very true!!

Thanks, CO.

Do you get the feeling that Geragos is happy to spread as much confustion as possible with these sorts of questions?

Greta also said the spa owner said that she did NOT distance herself from Scott. We're going to be chasing ourselves around in circles without the transcripts. :-(

Thanks for the clarifications, Keep 'em coming. :-)

Yes, the meringue episode of Martha Stewart was aired on Dec. 23. BUT, in his opening statement, Geragos played a bit of the tape of Martha's (alleged) Dec. 24 show, and she makes a BRIEF MENTION of the word MERINGUE in that show too--says Geragos. Personally, if I were the prosecutors, I'd be sending off to Martha's production company or archivist or whatever, to get a verified copy of the REAL Dec. 24 show. I wouldn't put anything past Geragos--especially after that phony "survey" he trotted out about "juror bias".
