Remains to be released to family; dogs, hypnosis may be part of hearing

According to Cherry and my recollection, (now that she jolted it), this is not new news.

On your second point, I thought I sort of addressed that in my hypothetical. If one knows something, it doesn't necessarily mean that one actually participated, does it?

Liable as an accomplice doesn't mean full punishment for a capital murder, does it, unless you're being held liable as a principal, and it's probably very unlikely they'd give the "principal" the death penalty, isn't it?

At this juncture, we can only hope that prosecution has a hell of a lot more than they've publicly revealed, and that somewhere in their bank of evidence, there's something of a smoking gun. I just hope they aren't playing too many games with the defense.

My bedtime. I need to be up by 11. LOL

Thanks for the heads up! My, oh my. If that yes is clearly audible and Geragos doesn't make the jury think it was a sneeze or a throat clearing, that is awesome evidence for the prosecution. Wonder what ELSE they have?

[Yaelle]

Can he be taught to say less, rather than to over-explain, so that he will put his foot in his mouth less? Is he or she arrogant-appearing?

Scott will ham it up like all else he does, and he can't do anything without that arrogant smirk.

And how does the person dress? Are they insistent on dressing in a "rich" way?

You know Scotty will have a well-cut suit and a new haircut.

[Yaelle]

What if his whole deal at the time of that call was to get Amber alone and send her to the sturgeons?

What if his goal was to be free, not to be tied down to another needy chick with a kid? Maybe he wanted to intimate that he had some very important news about what happened to Laci to get her to agree to see him so he could eliminate her as the perfect witness she has turned out to be?

[Yaelle]

ROFL! Actually, a great new haircut and color job will reduce the worst of the symptoms significantly.

LOL...still gets kind of crazy, and where does my time go to... ;o) Last of the summer holiday weekend coming up. Labor Day, and I bet lots are off for a final weekend camping get away...Including myself.. Up to the Yuba River for a day... should be fun, for a final run of it.. ;o)

The word "yes" coming out of Scott's mouth is new news to me--and to lots of others, too, I think.

If you're a principal, people are just as likely to give you the chair, if they think the whole thing warrants it. A principal is "one of the ones who did it."

As for an accomplice, I don't believe Scott was an accomplice. Either he did this, as one of the actual murderers (which includes--if he hired someone to do it), or he's uninvolved. JMO.

And this is big news. If this story is accurate, and if it is admitted, I think the incident it describes will go a long way towards convicting him.

[Devil_Anse]

Any way you look at it, if I were Amber, I'd be afraid. Not just afraid of Scott himself, but afraid about Lee and Jackie, and about people like Matt Dalton, etc. Not to say that all of the above would have something done to this witness, but... stranger things have happened.

[Jackie-O]

What relief! I've had computer trouble and have not seen FR in weeks! Series withdrawl! ;0)

[Devil_Anse]

So that was it! Glad you're back again, lol!

The title of this thread/article is driving me crazy. Every time I skim past it, I think it said "Remains to be released to family dog". Horrible, I know.

[Scenic Sounds]

If they haven't got much to show, I guess the best defense strategy is for everyone to sit back and keep their big fat flapping lips shut! (Picture Geragos doing THAT... nahhhhh... )

LOL. Nahhhhh. ;-)

[Jackie-O]

I'm beginning to suspect you like the attention.

Not me!! My darling daughter is the drama queen....I like things nice and quiet!

[Jackie-O]

I read the title the same way at first! ;0)
Just got the puter at work fixed this AM and a few minutes ago District Office sent me over a brand new Dell!
Not going to shut this Mac down till I make sure the other is up and running a-ok.

[Wednesday's Child]

Nice to see you Jackie!

There isn't anything much more maddening than a sick/dead computer! I could handle not having use of some of my appliances but I never could handle being without my computer! :)

[Sandylapper]

The words "yes, but" are new, and it changes the original reporting significantly. I'm still wondering where that leak came from. While Fox is generally pretty accurate with their reporting, they do sometimes make errors. I won't speculate about those mistakes, but I have a hunch they'll back away from the direct quote.

As for Vel's speculation about the "cult", there is another remote possibility here. WHAT IF Scott was involved in some kind of drug ring operation; that he was indebted heavily to his "bosses", and they wanted their share, or something along those lines. If there really was some other explanation along those lines, prosecution nor defense will never go there. JMO

[Sandylapper]

Gosh, girl, it's good to see you! You do worry me, you know. All these comings and goings.

[Jackie-O]

I'm sorry Sandy! :0( I knew my SCOWS would be worried about me. But please know that I am a very tough, stubborn Italian girl and I might get down at times, but I always come back strong! Plus I get alot of great support from you all...how could I go wrong??
It was just puter problems this time tho. Nettie says that I like all the attention...drama. (NOT!!!)
Honestly, I like peace and quiet! ;0)
