Experts examine remains

The Modesto Bee ^ | August 12, 2003 | John Cote'

Were all of those paintings already there before Dec 24? What do paintings have to do with the murder, anyway? Even if the actual painter committed the murders, how do they get him on them?

The prosecution should get John Douglas, the Mindhunter FBI profiler, to testify for them. He could correct the jury's impression of this Satanic cult thing. After all, why would the cult start and stop their murders with one middle class Modesto wife and mom-to-be, 90 miles from their dumping grounds? They would be far more likely to murder some drug addicts or street people or prostitutes who are far less connected to society by family, friends, homes.

And this woman just HAPPENED to have a highly, highly suspicious man as her husband?

What more was found out about that mailbox he rented on Dec 23?

Have you noticed that Geragross seems to have lost more hair since he took this case??

I think he's looking somewhat defeated these days.

[EllaMinnow]

We'll have to wait and see what Wecht does. He has been known to refuse to testify for the defense, even after put on retainer.
I think he leaves himself an out in his contracts. He can't testify for the prosecution, though - and that may be MG's reason for bringing him in.

[Sandylapper]

Hi OP! We've missed you!

[EllaMinnow]

Michael Baden said it. It's in the first article at the top of the thread.

I wonder if the prosecution will hire him?

[runningbear]

he would hope so, unless upon conviction, someone pokes him, and he looses it.....lol...

[runningbear]

I just get this feeling that if Dr Lee takes the stand on behalf of defense, that Mr Lee will be drilled, and slip up and say what really happened... ;o)

[Canadian Outrage]

Yeah I have wondered that also. Looks like Geragos is gonna stick with his moronic satanic cult theory. That theory is going nowhere!! I can't believe he's got the b@lls to keep peddling it. There is absolutely NOTHING satanic about this case other than the fact that Snott is full of the devil.

[Canadian Outrage]

Hi WC - Last night on LKL, Nancy Grace said that she was sure that the Geragos team will have to ask the State for money very soon. I think it's awful that the State has to foot "any" expenses on behalf of Peterson.

[Canadian Outrage]

Actually bear - You make a good point about Dr. Lee. If he get's grilled he will tell the truth. I can't see this Prosecution team treating him with kid gloves just because he's Dr. Lee. In fact, THIS prosecution team strikes me as very confident. I can hardly wait to see Peterson squirm along with his slimy Lawyers.

This is all on this story on KTVU Oakland:

According to a newspaper report Wednesday, Scott Peterson's defense team's briefing with two noted forensic experts focused upon among other things drawings found on the Albany Waterfront Trail in an area nicknamed 'The Bulb.' More Details

I though the mailbox might be used for Ebay sales as it leaves him anonymous. (Selling his wife's jewels etc.) Wonder if he opened a new charge account also AND an Ebay account.

It sounds like he planned this for a month or so and I'd go back and look at his "patterns".

[Wednesday's Child]

Hi back to you too!
I usually have FOX on during the day and was half listening when it was being discussed that it looks like the defense IS going with the satanic cult defense. The four "experts" that were on the show said he was basically throwing the whole case away if he does! Geragos would be boxing himself in with the cult theory and then couldn't present any other scenerios without looking stoopid :) They all also agreed it was the worst defense they ever heard of especially with all the leaked information that has come out! They said if they were SP they'd be looking for a new lawyer ASAP!
I agree with you.... the state shouldn't have to foot a lot of expenses. There should be some accountability by Geragos or maybe a limit on the amount the state should have to pay IMHO.

[Canadian Outrage]

Thanks WC - That's great news. That is exactly what I think also. I said months ago that I hoped Petersons liked wasting their money. Geragos is not up to the task of this case. It is clearly beyond his ability. The thing that threw him right off was the GAG order. He entered this thinking he could try the case in the media like his other cases. Come to think of it tho, he's lost a lot of those also!!

Thanks, rb! I tried clicking on the link and never could bring up the full story.

[Canadian Outrage]

Looks like I stuttered above there!! Anyway, I clicked on the link also and got nothing.

[Canadian Outrage]

OKAY!! So where is everybody??????????

[Jackie-O]

Thank you for the ping rb! I have been away from puter and TV for the last couple of weeks and I was taken aback when I saw today that Whect and Lee were signed onto the Dream Team Jr. I kind of expected Lee but not Whect.

[Sandylapper]

I dunno, but I'm going to watch TV and see if anything's new. BBL.

Jack!!!! So good to see you! We've missed you terribly! You have mail.
