Thank you Mrs. Runningbear.
How's Mister Runningbear feeling these days?
Sorry, can't help you there, RG. ROFL.
So far it looks like the prosecutor has missed some questions I would have like to have seen asked.
I guess there's plenty of time yet to pull it all together.
Don't get me wrong here. I thought the jurors would have been more involved in the case if Amy could have pointed to spots on a map regarding her shop, the golf course, Vella Farms, her home. You want to draw them in and create an understanding of the facts.
The maternity pants that were ordered from Motherhood Maternity (Peoples Exhibit#11)were forgotten about on the initial direct examination of Amy. Luckily, Geragos was hmming and hahing around long enough before starting his cross that Distaso was able to get back to Amy. He then questioned her about the type of material Laci was wearing on the 23rd compared to what was ordered from MM. I know they could have snuck that in somehow later but my point was preparedness.
I realize that presenting a case is a work in progress and I hope the prosecution took the off days to re-examine a couple of aspects of their presentation.
Perhaps the media think that he who drools the most, will get the infamous first interview with Geragos when the trial is over.
I agree with you that the joking around by Geragos, is completely out of line. I can't imagine how the Rochas feel at that moment.
That would be powerful.
Or what if the Mary Janes were found right there in the closet? Along with, say, every single other pair of shoes Laci owned? If so, then what would the defense say she was wearing on her feet when she "went to walk the dog"? (We begin to see why Matt Dalton or someone else may have planted those "slippers" or whatever they were, of Laci's, to be found "down the street"--remember all that?)
Fortunately, if he missed some stuff (I think so, too), he can always re-call whatever witness it was. He has until he rests his case to do this. And he will also have a similar (but not identical) chance to call the witnesses in his rebuttal case, if he chooses to have one.
Hi Dev. Maybe we can send him a clipboard with little boxes....then Distaso can check off the questions as he's asked them.
One thing so far that I'm not clear on is the Martha Stewart show.
On 12/23...the cleaning lady said that SP came home at 10:00am to pick up a Fed X envelope. Where was he? If he came home at 10am, he couldn't have seen any of the Martha Stewart show.
Sigh. I'm not seeing where he was on the 23rd in the morning. Are you?
Even better! All shoes accounted for!
"Or what if the Mary Janes were found right there in the closet? Along with, say, every single other pair of shoes Laci owned?"
That's a great point! She wouldn't walk barefooted nor would she walk in flimsy shoes (slippers, flip-flops, etc.)
"Perhaps the media think that he who drools the most, will get the infamous first interview with Geragos when the trial is over."
How true.
Do you have a link for the websleuth board?
Liz I have been reading them also. I tried to register but when I couldn't say WHO recommended me, it would not register?? I sent an email to them but no answer. The stuff on their is really intersesting. I heard some really interesting commentary this morning. Beth Karas and a former San Mateo Prosecutor for many years says that Geragos is really acting it up in the court room but in so doing he is walking right into Distaso's trap. Geragos is promising all sorts of things that he CANNOT DELIVER.
Here is a good thread to follow for updates...it's kind of long, but interesting.

Exactly Julie. But don't get too worried yet. I listened to commentary this morning and Geragos is being set up. Distaso IS NOT STUPID nor is he UNPREPARED!! He WILL get his chance to lower the boom from which Mr. Hollywood will NOT recover. He absolutely MUST lay the detailed ground work first and YES, most of the coverage is troublesome to me.
RG the Prosecution always has the LAST say as well. They can rebutt plenty. I think as former long time San Mateo Prosecutor said this morning, Distaso is DELIBERTELY letting Geragos paint himself into corners. He thinks this is a deliberate strategy and I believe he will be able to fill in the blanks!!
Thanks, rb! I've been running errands all day. Maybe now I can catch up.
You know what Jackie, I'm NOT posting at CTV anymore. The censorship that has happened there is DISGUSTING. They ban everybody that says ANYTHING about the Petersons OR Geragos. Somebody is pulling strings there. All the good posters are going over to Websleuths. Websleuths is a MUCH BETTER and more COMPREHENSIVE information site. I've HAD IT with CTV.
blech - Now I MUST get to work. My husband has gone to a luncheon and expects me to have an entire Mortgage done when he gets back. God, I'm so uninterested in this work right now. It's hell, I tell ya!! LOL
