OMG! I know that guy!
Pinging on the Scott Peterson case......
Pinging on the Scott Peterson case......
I know this has nothing to do with the case specifically, but couldn't the airport find a light duty job for this guy? It says he's on "disability", but he can obviously get to court and sit on his tail for long periods of time. Couldn't he watch the little X-ray monitor?
Hadn't heard about the pawn ticket until now. Is there another story behind it? Why was the name of the thumbprint's owner witheld?
Will that talkative juror be dismissed? He should be. Any info on the possibility?
Scott Peterson accompanied her the second time, and she seemed agitated when her husband -- in apparent affection -- tried to rub her stomach, said Victoria Brooks, who owns Brooks Pawn and Jewelry with her husband.
"It seemed like she did not want him to be rubbing her belly at that time," Brooks said of the Dec. 14, 2002, visit. "She seemed hesitant toward him."

Rubbing the belly scene- Gives me the creeps. Just think the week before (Dec. 9?) he was telling Amber how he doesn't want to have his own children. Similarly, Laci told her yoga instructor that Scott wasn't interested in his child.
"I told her to not exercise or to do it later in the day when she had eaten or been more hydrated," Dr. Tina Edraki told prosecutor David Harris."
The doctor said Laci called the clinic again on Nov. 8.
"She complained of shortness of breath when walking but she didn't pass out," Edraki said."
Geragos used the testimony to his client's advantage. "You told her not to walk and she called later saying she was out of breath again. What does that tell you? She didn't listen, did she?" Geragos asked the doctor on cross-examination.
"No," Edraki replied.
From this article
I would hope, which I bet they did, that the prosecution cross examined Dr. Edraki and asked her if she knew what time of day Laci had been walking the second time she called. Since the doctor told her to either not to exercise or wait until later.
The media only likes to report what will make a sensational statement.
I've been known to tell this "little white lie" to auto mechanics, home improvement contractors, plumbers, and anybody else who I thought might try to take me for some $$.
IMHO, they need to throw that juror out for simply talking to anybody on the defense. I was a juror on a murder trial two years ago, and I made darn sure I never talked to anybody other than my fellow jurors for the whole trial -- even when I saw people I recognized from the courtroom (attorneys, spectators in the courtroom, witnesses, etc.) when I was out at lunch, I ignored them. I figured I'd rather be thought rude, than have any chance of compromising the trial by making even the most innocuous comment.
Scott Peterson, 31, is an agricultural fertilizer salesman.
Why would Geragos try to undercut testimony that Laci did not tell the truth about Scott's line of work?
I'd like to see more on Scott and Laci's finances. With a baby on the way, she's thinking of having a ring made that would be worth $55,000!
Prosecution better watch it - jurors might begin to think sympathetically of the pressure on Scott.
