Nah, it's not the MD/JD - looks like it's he that is sending the notes. He seems to have turned out okay since he is functioning as the Foreman and sending out notes, ie: trouble.

Yep, I was just looking for you at WS Lynn. I have been in the chat room at Cher's site all day.
Both sides in the courtroom right now...I suspect someone is getting the boot???

I saw that actually happen in a trial here. A Juror on a multiple gang murder trial REFUSED to deliberate. She was kicked off post haste.

I mentioned MD/JD in context of writing a book. I think I heard it on CTV, and they were speculating as to what outcome would net his the greatest sales if such a book came to pass. :-)

I agree Jackie. These Jurors want to get done. WHY didn't Delucchi listen to what he was told about #6 before?? I just don't get it. His attitude was right out there for all to see PLUS the Judge received word in the last couple of days (during closing arguments) that this guy was discussing the case???? Unbelieveable!!!

I saw this on another site, and am posting it here because it is great satire, but also...SAYS IT LIKE IT IS !!

****************************************************

Ok, I have a theory but bear with me…What if Scott is really guilty? Yes, I know Scott is the victim here and if I had any form of decency I wouldn’t even think such thoughts but hear me out…

I know when you cheat on your wife the standard line is to say you lost your wife (which anyone with half a brain knows means there’s many types of loss) to get some. Everyone knows that. But what if Scott meant that she had died. I know lost = death doesn’t make sense but hear me out. What if Amber was some sort of evil person who’d only continue a loving relationship with Scott if he were unattached? I know, women need to be with men who have wives but what if Amber was rare. What if it was some sort of prediction of what he’ll do to Laci?

And maybe Laci was really murdered. I mean most 8-month pregnant women who hear that their husbands have an affair generally walk long distances to commit suicide in large bodies of water. That’s a given. But what if she didn’t do what was normal and was murdered? Now don’t kill me. I know satanic, transients are the leading cause of death of pregnant people and dumping bodies in the bay is their standard M.O. but what if they’re innocent this time? I know it’s wacky but hear me out.

Scott was fishing in the bay the same morning Laci disappeared. And Laci and Connor were found within a couple of miles of where he was fishing. I know, I know. There’s no way either event could possibly be connected. The best I can do is that the transients dumped her their and its Scott’s bad luck he was in that vicinity but what if he actually dumped her there. I know it sounds crazy and couldn’t possibly happen but there’s still an infinitesimal chance that it could be true. I know hitting the lottery is more likely but it’s still possible.

Yes I know the all great fisherman buy boats in secret (in case the fish get word of it), drive out in the winter on holidays (to catch the fish off guard), great distances (in hopes of finding fish unfamiliar with you), go out in the water without bait (to gain the fishes trust), and spend less than an hour (to not wear out your welcome). I know this is standard fishing 101. But what if this was the perfect cover to dump a body?

Okay, okay. Scott’s demeanor after was perfectly normal and is not consistent with this wild theory. Yes I know the minute a loved one is missing, you should be emotionless and strong and get rid of their belongings and begin your life anew as if they never existed. I know that porn and Virgo is essential to get your sexual organs recharged after a devastating loss of sexual partner. And I know you should make attempts to keep your mistress happy by keeping up the façade that your relationship is based on at all costs. I know this and Scott did this as any normal person would but what if he was hiding the truth?

I mean Amber’s anger really got me thinking about this and I’m not sure she’s the mastermind behind Laci’s murder and Scott’s framing anymore. I’m beginning to think she and Laci had no inkling about each other. I know it’s crazy that wives and mistresses don’t know about each other and accept it and go on to have glorious relationships anyway. But maybe she didn’t know. She sounded genuinely upset in those calls.

And I know swimming in pools causes your hair to change color and grow goatees of the same color. That’s second grade science, I know. But what if it was a disguise for him to run. He did have a lot of money, equipment and clothes when he was arrested. Yes I know golf courses have acres upon acres of land and it’s best to have money and survival gear just in case you can’t find your way back and become stranded for days or weeks but what if he intended those things for something else. I know my parents and yours have given you thousands of dollars for gas and tolls but what if it was money to live on for a while. Yes, $15,000 is petty change but still it’s a decent amount of money.

I know all you NGs will kill me and tell me how ludicrous my theory is but I’m still not convinced Scott is innocent. I’m about 95% NG. But there’s still something bugging me about the case.

Neenah, I tried both links and neither one gets me anything. When it first opens it goes to Acrobat Reader but then nothing is there.

It appears my earlier posting where the radio news was saying there was some possible problems in the jury room and I asked if anyone else heard this, turned out to be a fact.

The second one should work. Maybe you have to wait a little bit for it to load if you have dial up. The pictures are just released, and show Peterson at Frye's home.

He looks stoned to the max.

Oh boy Spunky, Beth Karas said this afternoon that it probably wasn't that. AAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKK!!! Actually, I believe it is tho. I think they have either one or two NG/s that will NOT deliberate.

Thanks Neenah. I just needed to give it lots of time.

LOL! Cell phone in hand. Was he calling Laci to let her know how hard he was working while Amber was off in the other room?

He does look like he is whacked.

I wonder why the jury would ask to see those paticular pictures again?

I have been thinking about this. If Scott didn't do it, (which I feel he did) there is another possibility although nothing has pointed in this direction either.

Gagagross was trying to pin it on transients or sex molesters, but IF Scott didn't do it the only other way I would see it having been done is Drug Kingpins. Several of us have talked about the possibility that Scott was dealing fertilizer or even the Crank itself. If he had skimmed the kingpins of some of there stuff, say used it himself and didn't deliver all he should then THEY would go to the extreme of kidnapping his wife and then later kill her and dump her where they had read in the newpaper Scott was fishing.

Just something to think about.

That's the kind of thing that gets picked up on the street and passed on to cops. they'd have some idea of it. I think anyway.

How come we don't know anymore? When does the jury go home today? Are they out?

Reports on the jury-divided are just spin/speculation.
The only division was the ladies getting on the bus home first, followed by the dudes.
They have asked for tidal maps, Amber/Snott tapes, tarp, and a few other things
They looked tired when they left today.
I think all of the hullabaloo today was just Gasbag whining for a mistrial because of the boat rocking this AM.

You don't think there's a hold out?
I hope not.

Oh, I think there is someone making them go over everything with a fine tooth comb...but they have only been deliberating for 24 or so hours. They have 5 months of evidence to go thru...the foreman has 18 spirals of notes.
But it's too soon to say they are deadlocked. IMO

"Reports on the jury-divided are just spin/speculation."

It sounded like they were because the Judge called the jury back in to read a portion of the law and told them to have an open mind and keep at it.
