I guess it was too much to hope for the FR to be a Scott Peterson free-zone.

Thanks RB!

Because monitoring attorney- client and investigator-client discussions is illegal, prosecutors wrote that they immediately stopped listening in most cases and did not learn anything "substantive."

"Most cases" eh? and knew it was illegal.

Now, that's informative..

Dan Abrams was on the Today Show this morning and he said the defense is going to go after the character of Amber now.

He said she was also in cahoots with the prosecution, with them telling her what to say etc.

Also they are going to debunk the motive that Scott killed Laci to be with Amber. They have evidence he was having affairs with at least two other women so Amber was nothing special.

Just reporting what was on the Today Show.

Yeah, right.

They may have turned off their recorders, but I can guarantee you that they not stop listening. If anything, they pricked up their ears.

I know a few cops. If you don't think they cheat whenever they can, you're very naive.

(Not you persoanlly, RB. You generically.)

In most cases? Hmmmm what did they hear in the cases that they didn't stop listening?

He said Peterson's defense team will review the documents this weekend and consider asking the Superior Court to throw out double-murder charges against Scott Peterson.>

Should this be considered the first time the defense asks for the charges be dropped? Be interesting to keep a tally.

[hole_n_one]

Why do you suppose that idiots like Dan Abrhams and Rita Cosby report what the defense says without stipulating that Geargos is a slimey lying POS?

Rather, they, and all who report on this event for that matter, report what the defense team says with the same level credence that they give to what the police and the D.A.'s office put out.

[dogbyte12]

It depends on the judge, but the defense can make a great argument to have some things tossed out, but probably not the charges themselves.

Say for example, Scott tells his attorney where an item is that the police are trying to find. It could be a link in a continuing chain to bust him.

Scott may not even know the police are looking for it, but... just say that Scott mentions that he needs to run back to Jiffy Pawn Shop to sell more jewelry to raise money. The police head to Jiffy... find some of Laci's jewelry, and it has blood on it.

It strengthens their case, but it can't be used. As well as the testimony of the store clerk who talked to Scott as he pawned it off.

Just in case, I don't know if this story's been posted, but it questions's Peterson's alibi:
