He is only giving evidence of what he found(I have watched enough trials to know that the nitty gritty is tedius and as interesting as watching grass grow)...

He is not giving evidence as to whose blood it is or what it signifies..I believe she was probably strangled or suffocated..All he had to do was sit on her, restrict her breathing and use his "work out" muscles..

The broken ribs could be just before or soon after death,,I heard one doctor say a hard kick could have done it..others say a possible bump by a passing boat while she was in the water.

I hope everyone here will pardon me while I indulge the illusion that somehow, some way, we can maybe get a message to the prosecutors in this case.

And after that, I also want to say something to Juror #5, because I just saw that he is apparently going to be on Nancy Grace's show tonight. (I will watch it anyway.)

PROSECUTION: PUT DR. DIMAIO ON YOUR WITNESS LIST!

JUROR # 5 (THAT'S YOU, JUSTIN): YOUR 15 MINUTES ARE UP!!!!!

"We have been told repeatedly that this therapeutic massage which she was trained to do was NOT a front for prostitution, but was a legitimate job."

Who has "repeatedly" told "us" this? The only place I have ever heard this is from women posting on Free Republic. If there's an official source for this, I have not seen or heard it but would appreciate being told where it can be verified officially.

Harvey Kemple was the relative testifying about Scott burning the chicken. He is married to Sharon Rocha's cousin which makes him Laci's First Cousin, Once Removed, by marriage.

Somehow, I knew you would couldn't miss the approach of Amber's testimony, lol.

The name of the Sports club that Amber worked at escapes me at the moment, as I recall, it had America in it (American Sports Club?). It's a chain, and I doubt they would be in business if they were "fronting" for such a thing, as it would be so easy to bust and lose licesences. We went through this discussion back when Amber first came on the scene, as I said then, I don't think she's any saint, but I'm interested in hearing what she has to say. That's all. It took two to tango in this caper as far as Scott and Amber, so I see no need to tar and feather the girl.

If she can provide any information, anything, that might go towards nailing this sob, I'm for it. If you want to start an Amber is an .... forum, go for it. I just hate to see that start up again.

All stated with reverence, and respect for free speech, ma'am.

Okay!

Her job as a massage therapist was undoubtedly a front for her real job as a prostitute.

Thank you..I knew he was Laci's kin...

I just heard one big wrong assumption on O'Reilly..that the detective(Byrd) Amber called on the 21st of Dec was from Modesto..Wrong! he was from Fresno. Then on H and C..Jerrilyn Merritt(Gag) and another TH carried the theme along...Never try to get accurate info on the trial from these shows.

Have you listened to this interview of Justin Falconer, the radio hosts kind of got on him a little bit to say the least. You'll need Windows Media Player.

Heck, I worked in a popular diner when I was in college, where the cooks used to prop the back door open and the flies would get in the soup. The cook used to say, just scoop down deep, the flies float.

I heard that error also. Kept waiting for the interview-ee to correct O'Reilly but he never did. Guess he was afraid to offend Bill. LOL.

Yes, it seems that these guys just put in a Peterson update b/c their producers deem it to be something that will draw some viewers. (Imagine that...) They are not really into the case.

Like Larry King. He features this case often, but it is 1000% clear that he is just going through the motions: he knows the case is a hot topic with some fairly loyal viewers, so he has it on his show because it makes him money. I have NEVER, EVER, EVER seen Larry King even try to fake any real interest in this case. He is clearly not into whodunits; he is more interested in hobnobbing with famous names/celebrities. (Most "celebrities" bore me as much as the Peterson case seems to bore Larry.)

Oh, now the star-studded panel on Greta Van Susteren is slowly coming to the realization that... GASP!... Amber may have been DATING this Richard Byrd cop guy.

WELL!

How dare she??

She had the NERVE to two-time Scott while he was away in MAINE and PORTUGAL! Why, that no-good...

"Have you listened to this interview of Justin Falconer, the radio hosts kind of got on him a little bit to say the least."

I just listened. John and Ken sure had him going.

Justin thinks you maintain that "Innocent" until proven guiltly clear to the end of the trial and then when you go into deliberations is when you begin forming an opinion. I would hate to be on a jury with him. Not only would the trial take 4 months but so would the deliberations.

He did say he would like to hear more about the missing anchors. I think we all would.

Ted Whatsisname on Greta was entertaining tonight.

First he suggested that the prosecution put the "dawg" on the witness stand.

Then he said [paraphrasing] "Mark needs to be careful about all this business about homeless people must've killed her. Mark, I know you watch this show, and I'm telling ya, as a former homicide investigator as I was, when these crimes of opportunity occur, they leave the body at the crime scene. They don't put it in the Bay to frame Scott!"

Greta brought up the latest red herring, the meth woman who allegedly stole "checks" out of the mailbox at the warehouse. At that point, the word "nexus" was brought up.

Meaning that if there is not a sufficient nexus to connect that woman, somehow, to this case, then HE CAN'T BRING HER ANTICS INTO EVIDENCE.

I am always a little leary when I tell the waitress the steak is to rare and she has to take it back. I have heard terrible tales as to what the cook does when it is brought back because he don't like his cooking questioned.

I think the concept of circumstantial evidence--easily mastered by countless jurors across the whole country--is too much for Justin.

HEY, JUSTIN! HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR MOM IS REALLY YOUR MOM? YOU WEREN'T THERE RIGHT BEFORE YOU WERE CONCEIVED, WERE YOU? YOU DIDN'T SEE YOUR CONCEPTION WITH YOU OWN EYES, DID YOU? WHERE'S YOUR PROOF?

HEY, JUSTIN! DID YOU KNOW THAT BLOOD IS ACTUALLY BLUE WHEN IT'S IN YOUR VEINS AND ARTERIES? IT ONLY TURNS RED WHEN IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH AIR!

I would think that they should be mature enough to not hold a grudge just b/c you wanted it a little more cooked! (Unless of course when you sent it back, you said, "Please kill it before serving it to me!" lol)
