I think scott just wanted to look at himself on national tv and wanted to control the time so he wouldn't miss it
think also the secret was "control" thats what he was all about
backatchya fiesti!! Very interesting, sad too!
Fiesti, it turns out that report I read was wrong: Beth Karas says the stain in the driver's door pocket DID test positive for blood.
As for what he was mopping, I had a wild thought last night. What if he held Laci over the side of the tub, holding her head underwater and drowning her? The force of being pushed against the side of the tub might account for her broken ribs.
And WHAT would be all over the place after such a deed? Water! Water would be all over the floor, b/c she would presumably struggle. So, he mops up... water! So, what's suspicious about WATER on mops??
If he did this almost 24 hours before he had any police in the house, and used the mop(s) to sop up the water, the last sheen of wetness would be good and dry. He could also use towels, and could have put them in the dryer and then folded them back up in the towel closet.
See, I thought of this possibility b/c I was picturing him smothering her with a large pillow, such as those which most people keep on their queen-size beds. But if he did that, I wondered, why did she not reach out frantically from under the pillow and scratch the hell out of his face and arms?
I'm not going by that picture the cops did of him in his undies, b/c that was done 10 days after the murder. I'm going by the people who all saw Scott on the 24th and 25th, and none of them seem to have seen any scratches on him.
So then I thought, if he was choking, or drowning, her from behind, she wouldn't have been able to get in as many (or any) scratches while struggling.
So then it occurred to me that maybe he forced her head underwater in the tub and drowned her, and that her ribs got broken b/c of the tremendous force with which she was pushed against the side of the tub.
Does it sound plausible??
It scares me to think Scott will walk free because most men who just fool around on their wives don't kill them. See where I'm going with this?
It's far better, IMHO, to focus on Scott's infatuation with Amber and his need to follow thru on the terrible lie he told Amber... that his wife was indeed "dead".

Beth and another got a concrete/cement tutorial this weekend and say the pitcher/mold refutation no longer seems like a big deal....Imagine getting educated....What seemed an AHA moment in the courtroom wasn't.
Fishermen do not use the same mold over and over...The THs are cautioning the prosecution against going too tightly bound to one theory on how he disposed of Laci..
I agree Dev but I'm sure they HAVE to have certain witnesses on before they can get to the good stuff. I hope Detective Beuhler is next. He was Amber's handler. Incidentally, I just read on another forum that Rick Distaso has tried multiple murder cases and that his win recordd is 90%!! I'm not so sure that even this part is in his overall plan. I believe the time is coming SOON, when he will rise up and take COMPLETE CONTROL. We always knew that Blood was not going to be the evidence anyway. Peterson had this case well planned. The Prosecutor likewise, has his case, well planned. He's known for absolutely coming out of the box on fire, in the last part of his Prosecutions. In this one, I believe the last half will change considerably.!! I'm sure he's well aware that folks "think" he's losing.
That's is what the media does. They have majored on this bull$hit ever since OJ Simpson travesty trial. Look how media people ended up with their own shows after that trial. However, from posters who have access to the transcripts, they state that reading the transcripts is like reading the opposite of what the media is reporting is happening. And the transcripts are much more positive for the Prosecution. For instance, that pitcher. Did you ever anywhere read that the detective said that they decided very shortly after finding it, that it WAS NOT the actual mold for making the anchors!!
I think maybe he could've been cleaning up cement residue, but I think he mostly kept his cement work at the warehouse!
If he DID mop up cement dust, THAT should surely be left on the mop!!
He doesn't have the kind of courtroom personality to do that..only objections and the judge can control Geragos. I've seen many a defense lawyer seem like his passion will save the day...and lost...
I am hoping the jury accepts the fact that only the hair and a "one in 112" match of MDNA exists, there was nothing found in the bay, no forensic evidence of murder and start to resent Geragos and his tedious cross exams that indicate this fact over and over.
Laci had a problem with one of the other guests expected at her mother's home on Christmas Eve and couldn't decide if she wanted to be there while this other person was there. She waited a long time before telling her mother she would be there. This was discussed a long time ago so can't point you to a written word. I'm sure others will remember.
yes it does devil... a good hammer lock on het to walk or drag her to bathroom....who knows but that bastard how he did it...could be he pushed her in pool too and she hit side to crack ribs and maybe even knocked her out..lots of water to mop up then too....why don't we get Felos to get into scotts mind so we know what happened lol (sarcasm) I think the slowness of this trial is getting to me I don't think is so smart to commit the perfect murder..he has just been lucky from what I see so far...keep praying the proscution has just 1 tidbit of forensic
Well I saw him rise up once in the Prelim. He looked like a different Prosecutor. I agree with you that he doesn't have the flamboyance of Geragos. But frankly, Geragos would NOT be impressive to me. To any rational person, his flipping all over the courtroom, his sarcasm, etc. should NOT cause the Jury to intentionally overlook the evidence. In my opinion, anyway, Peterson himself, and his OWN mouth, is one of the most powerful things against him as well as the fact that Laci and baby washed up 90 miles away from Modesto right where he was!! The frameup theory just sounds plain stupid as does all the other "theories" Geragos has thrown out. In fact, I heard a Defense Attorney last week on one of the shows (Lisa Bloom and James Curtis's show), say that Geragos is hurting his case by constantly changing his theory. The Jury will absolutely know that he has NO case really.
It's pretty clear isn't it fiesti that Snott obviously attacked Laci from behind. If you look at some of the pictures of her and him - he's huge compared to her. Whatever this coward did, he didn't give her a chance to fight back. I have always thought he punched or kicked her in the ribs causing her to vomit. Last week that Dr. DiMaeo said the same thing. He stated that in his opinion, her ribs were broken BEFORE she died and likely at the hand of her killer.
He's known for absolutely coming out of the box on fire, in the last part of his Prosecutions. In this one, I believe the last half will change considerably.!! I'm sure he's well aware that folks "think" he's losing.
CO this is my deep seated feelings but these media heads get even me into a turmoil
My very first hiccup! lol
Be well...all of you...sw
I read she did not have presents for all Ron's family...Probably all just speculation...
I don't really know...Others speculate Scott did not want to go..and Laci was covering for him...
