MISTRESS DISTRESS
By HOWARD BREUER

July 19, 2004 -- EXCLUSIVE
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — With only a few days until Amber Frey takes the stand in Scott Peterson's double-murder trial, she has told her family that she's tired of being dragged through the gutter by people who know nothing about her.
Smut king Larry Flynt has insinuated she's a prostitute. Trial observers expect her to be portrayed by the Peterson defense as a harlot who pursues married men, and possibly as a participant in Laci Peterson's murder.
In an exclusive letter to The Post and Fox News Channel, Ron Frey says his 29-year-old daughter is proud of the choices that led to her having two children out of wedlock.
"The other day I asked her how she was holding up and she told me, 'It's so hard to hear myself criticized by people who don't know me, especially when they take issue with my being a single parent. But you can choose to remain a virgin until you're married, and then never be asked. Or you can have consensual sex and get pregnant. Then you have two choices: terminate the pregnancy, or thank God for the blessing. I've chosen to give thanks for the two wonderful children I love very much.' "
Frey wrote that his daughter's words "brought tears to my eyes. I hope everyone .............

Peterson Trial
Fabrications, admissibility discussed
REDWOOD CITY -- Lawyers in Scott Peterson's murder trial Wednesday argued over previous testimony that defense attorneys said shows a detective lied on the stand.
Judge Alfred A. Delucchi had planned to discuss a motion on that issue and other matters behind closed doors, but appeals from media lawyers resulted in a public debate.
In the process, Delucchi revealed in court -- without the jury present -- two topics at issue: whether a detective fabricated parts of his testimony and the admissibility of television interviews Peterson took part in before his arrest..............

Peterson trial resumes with questioning of detective

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Detective Henry "Dodge" Hendee returns to the witness stand Monday in Scott Peterson's murder trial as defense attorneys continue their attack on the investigation.
Attorney Mark Geragos has been picking apart the case as an exhaustive search for hard evidence that turned up nothing incriminating.
In a barrage of sarcastic questions last week, Geragos forced Hendee to acknowledge at nearly every turn that searches of San Francisco Bay yielded nothing to link Peterson to the killing of his pregnant wife, Laci........

Police misconduct alleged in Peterson trial
Defense is accusing police detective of lying on the stand

REDWOOD CITY -- Modesto police Detective Allen Brocchini declared early on he was going to catch Laci Peterson’s killer.
"I probably told that to everybody," Brocchini testified during Scott Peterson’s preliminary hearing. "My intent was to catch … whoever got Laci."
The case, defense attorneys suggested, became personal for Brocchini -- Laci Peterson and her fetus were dead and someone had to pay.
Defense attorneys claimed the detective even told friends of the couple he was going to "take Scott Peterson down."
Brocchini denied making the statement, but acknowledged he tried "planting the seeds of suspicion" with friends and suspected early on that Peterson did the deed.
Now, with Peterson’s double-murder trial entering its eighth week, Brocchini has become a flash point as defense attorneys try to sidetrack the case with attacks on Brocchini’s character. .........

Peterson defense mocks cop's evidence
Attorney ridicules theory that defendant made cement anchors

Attorney ridicules theory that defendant made cement anchors

Scott Peterson's defense attorney staged a dramatic courtroom demonstration Thursday to try to discredit prosecutors' contention that the fertilizer salesman molded cement anchors to carry his wife's body to the bottom of San Francisco Bay.
Holding a block of cement found in Peterson's boat and the plastic water pitcher that a detective had suggested was the mold for the weights, defense attorney Mark Geragos showed that the two didn't match -- the pitcher was easily larger than the weight, was shaped differently and had a dimple the concrete block lacked.
It was an awkward moment for police Detective Henry Dodge Hendee. He had testified Tuesday in the Redwood City courtroom about how police had found the pitcher with cement residue in it in the warehouse that Peterson used in Modesto, but he admitted Thursday that detectives had learned at some point that it wasn't the mold.
Some courtroom watchers said it was also a victory for Geragos in his effort to persuade jurors that Modesto police and Stanislaus County prosecutors focused solely on Scott .........

Scott to pin slay on lover
BY MARY PAPENFUSS
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Scott Peterson was posing as a rich bachelor when he took up with masseuse Amber Frey — who went to police after she learned her lover had a pregnant wife who was missing.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Amber did it. That's what Scott Peterson's defense is expected to argue when prosecutors call their star witness in the double-murder trial: Peterson's mistress, Amber Frey.
Several legal observers believe defense attorney Mark Geragos will try to portray the young single mom as so desperate for a husband that she helped kill her rival, Scott Peterson's pregnant wife, Laci.
"Geragos has already tried to lay the foundation that Amber Frey was somehow involved in Laci Peterson's murder," said Dean Johnson, a former San Mateo County prosecutor who is following the trial.
Geragos has already grilled Frey's pal Shawn Sibley - who played matchmaker for the Modesto fertilizer salesman and Fresno masseuse - about when the women first learned Scott was married, and not the rich bachelor he pretended to be.........

I like the title....
Reminds me of Genesis' Lamb Lays Down.
"Too much distress from my mistress..."
Larry Flynt could not be any more disgusting; I did'nt think that was possible.My one question is: if Scott Peterson is not involved then who the hell was?
She is proud of the fact she sleeps around and doesn't take resposibility to protect herself against having children who then have no full time daddy?
She is a real piece of work
I can see how the defense won't have a hard time portraying her as a loser
Now I've got to break out "Foxtrot" when I get home.Thanks a lot/sarc.
Just for Capt. Scotty, the nautical guy...
I wish these people would stop and think before they "shoot" from the hip on their opinions...Amber, dahling....it doesn't help your case one iota when you pose nude for "Playboy" to further your career. Sheesh what an idiot.
She is just exposing her true self.
If no-one asked, she must not have been looking in the right places. I have an unmarried sis like that. Couldn't figure out why none of the males in the singles bars ever asked her to marry them.
Some women are so dumb.
OK, you made me google semaphore so I could translate that!
Her poor kids are bigger losers :(
... then proceeded to dump "her rival" in the one place which would send her wonderful dream husband to jail...
Mmm-hmm. Yeah. Okay.
Oh, wait, the first article has a great tidbit in it, too!
LARRY KING has insinuated that Amber was a prostitute??
Hey, Amber! Larry King is a bigger prostitute than any Vegas girl--much less, you! That's MY opinion!
Do you practice what you preach?
sw
It takes one to know one! And the defense and the defendant know her well.
