Laci's things in tug of war

"If the law supposes that," said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, "the law is a ass--a idiot."

A ass--which the Petersons may kiss.

[Devil_Anse]

Oh, lookie. The Rochas have been tried and convicted already. Funny how Scott has the presumption of innocence (as we are frequently and repetitiously reminded), but they don't.

[Devil_Anse]

LOL! Well, that solves everything. Next!

[Devil_Anse]

The media filmed it, and that's the "evidence" in the poster's "trial" of the Rochas, who have now been "convicted" of "theft" without regard for that presumption of innocence thingie--as the same poster put it.

[Devil_Anse]

But you forgot the presumption of innocence "thingie".

[Devil_Anse]

The Wedding Dress, though, for example, should have been handed over pronto...

Whaddya MEAN? I think Amber might've looked GOOD in that wedding dress!

[Devil_Anse]

Uh-oh. Stand by for media-generated trial and conviction for theft.

[Devil_Anse]

Oh, and goodness, you don't suppose that vehicle of Laci's Scott sold might have been property that her heirs had a claim on? Gee, where'd the funds from that go, anyway?

[Devil_Anse]

Oh, and you know, what a shame... if Scott is the one who killed her, no doubt he had in mind to avoid all those messy property squabbles that a divorce would have brought... aw, but here they are anyway.

[Devil_Anse]

Now the "mob mentality" has tried and convicted the Rochas of theft. Deplorable, that mob mentality.

Hey you!(nite)

[Devil_Anse]

whether there is a will stating all goes to Scott

That would be one of those good news/bad news situations.

"Scott, the good news is, that will leaving everything to you means they have to give back all her stuff now, yes, Scott, the diamonds, too. Scott, the bad news is, that will leaving everything to you tends to prove you had a motive to murder her."

[Devil_Anse]

Yes, and during those 3 or more months, there was time for the defense team to do all this videotaping and testing it supposedly wanted to do. What were they waiting for? The police released the property a long time ago.

And you have zeroed in the THE question: WHEN were Laci's rings taken to the jeweler? And WHY was she not wearing her wedding ring when she died---or... WAS SHE?

[Devil_Anse]

What're you talking about, CO? He likes trial by media just fine. He's already tried and convicted the Rochas of theft, presumably based solely on media reports he's heard.

[Devil_Anse]

What they did was commit theft

Thanks for the quick trial and conviction. You sure rebutted their presumption of innocence quite ably, with your evidence... um, it WAS rebutted with evidence, wasn't it?

Do us a favor and do a quick trial on whether Scott murdered Laci, 'kay? People are on the edge of their seats waiting to find out.

[Devil_Anse]

I think the house belongs to Scott at the moment, too.

Sharon had permission to enter the house. Jackie Peterson, who holds a general power of attorney from the house's owner, said, "Sharon can go in that house any time she wants to." This statement was heard by millions of people.

[Devil_Anse]

Your post got me laughing!!

[Devil_Anse]

Are we sure Scott is the sole heir? It ain't necessarily so.

[Devil_Anse]

How can FR be "all Laci all the time" (per Post 305) if there is a Westerfield thread in the smoky back room? Someone must've gotten their facts wrong!
