Expert: Laci Peterson's unborn son lived at least five days after her disappearance

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — A defense medical expert testified Thursday that Scott Peterson's unborn son lived at least five days after the Christmas Eve disappearance of his pregnant wife, Laci.

But the witness's conclusion — a finding that held the potential to exonerate the fertilizer salesman — was severely undercut when he admitted his assessment relied on personal notions of "realistic" behavior by women at baby showers.

The obstetrician, Dr. Charles March, told jurors at Peterson's capital trial that he decided Dec. 29, 2002, was the earliest possible date of death for the child in part because of the timing of a phone call Laci Peterson made to inform a close friend she was pregnant.

The 27-year-old called her childhood friend Renee Tomlinson on June 9, 2002, the day after Peterson had thrown a baby shower for Tomlinson.

"I don't see that the sequestration will be a problem for the jurors. I think they might have a verdict in a day or two."

I agree. They will have a verdict soon.

He also still had merconium in his rectum. The cut on his abdomen was post mortum, probably caused by a propeller or the jagged rocks on the shoreline he washed up on.

Sorry, spelling error on my part.
Meconium...Baby's first poop. Usually expelled in the first day or two.

I like the new entry...excellent reference to Leopold and Loeb for all of the NG's that say Snott was too smart to have jazzed up the perfect murder.

You tell em Jax!! I don't get these people that come onto this thread to castigate everyone for being on this thread. WHY don't they stay on the threads they like and are interested in and leave the rest of us alone??? For God's sake, we don't tell them what subject to be interested in. Besides, most of us here can walk and chew gum at the same time. In other words, we can follow two subjects simultaneously!!

I suspect the verdict will come in rather quickly myself. And Susan and Janey have gone from disgustingly ARROGANT and COCKY to VERY VERY SAD!! They should.

Now Wait...I beg to differ. I think Lee will prostitute himself....for, what is it? $550 per hour working, $350 per hour sleeping, and something in between for sitting on the airplane. This from the Michael Peterson case.

Sounds to me as if the defense is already grasping at straws. Not a good day for Geragos or his client.

Let's face it, murder is a stupid act, whether one is a genius like Leopold and Loeb, or a dumbass, like Scott.

Pretty bad when your "star" witness gets laughed out of the room by the Jury and gets rebuked by the Judge as to who asks questions in the Courtroom!!
