Laci's things in tug of war

That is most of what I say, don't have money to make the payments, it isn't a long time before foreclosure takes place.... Yep, I know the steps..>Not that has happened to me, happened to others I know/knew..... Thanks...

What with Lawyers and mortgage payments, mommy and daddy Peterson just might go broke.!! They WANT this house to sell to help with legal costs. No doubt in my mind anyway. I think that's one reason they will make the payments for awhile anyway. We'll have to see what a Court Probate does. They just may NOT get as much as they think. It's also very possible that Snott will not collect Life Insurance.

Who is asking the Govt to support them due to a disability? The Petersons'?

I still stand by my opinion that is shaped by what I hear on the news since that is my source. For what ever that is worth it is still mine to have.

[oceanperch]

BTW Rocha's own Attn. said three hours ago on Fox that Sharon was not telling the truth. That is where my opinion came from.

[runningbear]

can you imagine those payments on top of the Peterson's other financial obligations? That house payment on Covena must be near 1400 a month? And not to say, any vehicle payments, plus that impound truck payments.... Unless Scott can declare BK... His and Laci's credit is going down the tubes unless as you say, the parents are paying to keep up with it all... Wealth!

[oceanperch]

I thought they had Ins. to continue to pay the mortgage. Isn't that covered on their homeowners policy?

[Canadian Outrage]

whoops, I just noticed the time, I gotta go get something done around here and do some cooking. LOL BBL

This jewelry issue is the most interesting little item. First of all, Scott and Laci weren't married very long and doing the combine or alter or whatever to Laci's wedding ring and the grandmothers is a little early in their life together. What's missing is: Laci MUST have discussed this with her mother or best friend. It is one of those things you "tell" to someone else. It's not a "secret" thing. It's a feeling thing that involves others.

Good point. My dad had my mom's diamond solitare reset for their 30th anniversary. Laci and Scott were married for approximately 5 yrs. I'm sure that Laci would have mentioned this being done, especially since the extra stones would involve "family" jewelry.

Now all we need is the "time" when the rings went to the jeweler and and to know why Scott didn't pick them up in the months to follow. I think the jeweler may play an important part in this case.

It's not logical for both rings to be used for a reset, imo. You'd still want your wedding band separate from the solitare, wouldn't you? If Laci was experiencing water retention from pregnancy, that would explain why she wasn't wearing them. Maybe Scott didn't take the stuff to the jeweler's. Why would he take every bit of jewelry to the store to have it all made into one ring? Well I don't want to say who's name popped up as needing the cash, because that's just pure speculation ;-)

I think the jeweler will be a witness for the prosecution, and that's why we won't hear anything about this until the information is available to the public. Three choices: Scott did plan on having a ring remade for Laci, he intended to have the ring made for someone else, or the stuff was going to be hocked.

I think we should all STOP this stupid conversation because NONE of us know the nitty gritty details. However, it's clear to me that Snott Peterson is a very greedy person and after viewing the actions of his mother and father, I can see why.

Any decent person would have offered to let the Rochas come and get these things, without them having to resort to raiding the house.

[oceanperch]

I agree and with an open heart.

The Petersons maybe in denial over the son but if they truly loved Laci as their own they should have gave the Rochas' their blessing on retreiving personal items as soon as possible.

All the smoke and mirrors MG is putting out is not going to work if the client and his parents show a side of greed and cold heartedness. Not exactly a sympathy factor. It will add to the doubt SP has casted with his actions from day one.

[RGSpincich]

Who is asking the Govt to support them due to a disability? The Petersons'?

They are thousands who suffer from depression at the taxpayers expense. My point was that I'm glad the Rochas are not part of that. And we can differ on this point, okay?

[RGSpincich]

BTW Rocha's own Attn. said three hours ago on Fox that Sharon was not telling the truth.

About what? What did he say?

[TheSpottedOwl]

The Petersons maybe in denial over the son but if they truly loved Laci as their own they should have gave the Rochas' their blessing on retreiving personal items as soon as possible.

I'm trying to think back to the beginning of all this, when the Petersons said something to that effect. I can see why they would be upset that their son is considered the prime suspect, but they way they've gone about EVERYTHING including not shutting the hell up after the bodies were found, makes me wonder if they cared for Laci and the baby at all.

[oceanperch]

I don't disagree. Depression in most cases is treatable and many carry on without losing everything to end up on SSI Disability.

I thought you maybe referring to the Petersons Jackie being on o2 that they are on SSI disability. Which I feel if she can show up for her son and care for his needs she can show up to a job or work out of her home.

When one is on SSI disability I usually think of adults that I know whose retired parents have given up rights to care for them. These are adults who are like my son completely disabled. Or terminal patients who have not one dime left to there name.

As for depression and other mental disorders I have no idea what the deal is on SSI disablity payments.

I know quite a few paraplegics that work in society and would never consider govt. payment. Maybe a loan for school or grants but I do not know if that is private or public.

A dear freind of ours has learning disabilities and is blind in one eye and after a lot of trying is finally starting Nursing school in Jan.

[oceanperch]

I had my opinion that they were not the kindest hearted in laws too.

What firmed it up for me was Jackie saying "our house". That was a big slip in the wrong direction.

If they want to help set Scaughty free they should be approaching things waaay more compassionate.

I was thinking of the NE from May that had pics of the inside of the home and now it comes out that Jackie is the contact when the burglar alarm goes off.

How come it did not go off or if it did Jackie P did not call MPD when NE supposedly hopped the fence and got in to take pice. Could she have known they were coming and taken payment for allowing them access? If so it will show up on someones income tax I would think if the some was large enough.

[runningbear]

I wouldn't think that applies in this case... (but if someone else knows, please advise..)

[RGSpincich]

Isn't that covered on their homeowners policy?

Don't think that is covered by homeowners insurance. My lender sells mortgage life insurance. It's pretty expensive, we opt for term life insurance from the same company that has the homeowner's policy to cover the amount of mortgage and some change. Much cheaper. I will say that no payoff on Laci's home has been recorded at this point.

Homeowners policy may end up making a payout to Laci's heirs if they win a wrongful death suit against SP. Didn't OJ's homeowner's policy have to payoff to the Browns and Goldmans?

[runningbear]

Too far back for me to recall...Only that I remember that rather hefty judgement the Browns won, that they took pretty much everything of value OJ had.... including that trophy.... They even tried for his NFL retirement salary? couldn't tap into that..

I just think that they have to pay for it, until the criminal process is thru, and pending civil actions... I just hope the Rocha's sue the heck out of the Petersons... ;o)
