Jurors turn focus to Scott Peterson's fishing boat
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Jurors in Scott Peterson's capital murder trial want to see the boat the fertilizer salesman allegedly used to dump his wife's body in the San Francisco Bay, according to two sources close to the case.
The panel wrote a note to Judge Alfred Delucchi Friday requesting an inspection of the 14-foot aluminum Gamefisher Peterson took out on the bay Dec. 24, 2002, the day he reported his wife, Laci, missing.
The sources confirmed to Court TV that the boat will be brought to the courthouse and jurors will see it Monday.
The request to see the boat came as the panel completed a third day of deliberations without reaching a verdict. The six men and six women have weighed evidence for nearly 19 hours. They will spend the weekend sequestered at a hotel, but they are not permitted to discuss the case until they return to the jury room at about 8 a.m. Monday.
Story continues ........
Finally his body got so putrified they couldn't deny it anymore.
I have always wondered that also. And another thing, I would have taken the leash OFF the dog because he could have gotten it caught on something.
Who made this video? Is this the one Gregaros wanted to show?
I didn't say I don't believe there are NO places, it is just hard for me to imagine that when you see the bay thinking it is only 2 feet deep.
I was really shocked a couple years back to learn that Klamath Lake was not very deep either. When you drive by these places they appear to be Big and Deep.
FOX is reporting now he is still alive ....I think you are right, they are trying to divide his "take" both in coin and power among his bunch. Sounds like someone had some bad acid when they wrote about Mohammed touching down in holy places as he was ascending to the heights (was he coming down or going up ? - they are playing both sides of the street). Hey that's a good way to claim land, um Mohammed looked over here, and he imagined over there, heck why not claim everything ?
IMO, it is IMPORTANT not to play down the 2 foot depth point, because (again, IMHO) the way SP disposed of Laci and Connor is as follows.
He took the boat into shallow water, got out, lifted Laci out, then towed her into deeper water with weights attached wherein he cut her loose.
To me, unless there is evidence to rule it out, this is an obvious explanation for the disposal method AND the reason why Snott washed his clothes as soon as he got home.
Yuck!
If the old SOB isn't dead he soon will be.
We had a wife murdered in our area. Hubby was involved with another woman and didn't want to pay child support or alimony. He made good bucks. His wife was in their van or truck and it went over a cliff (He didn't have the emergency break on). The problem.....He did it somewhere where they had never been on their usual Sunday breakfast trip. Breaking a pattern always causes a question mark.
LOL... nice to be dead for a week now! ....lol...
oh, Nov 21st... Hubby and I are going sturgeon fishing on the Delta ... Should be fun.. Let you know if scotty's tips helped. lol..
I believe that we know that he did not fish at all. It was cold and drizzily at the bay. Anyone that can't make a decision not to fish when arriving at the dock is a complete idiot. We know he didn't fish. The bait packages were not opened.
LOL! Love it!
It was not my intention to play it down. In fact, I thought I was building it up because Black Dog made the comment that it was such a small boat out on the Bay.
I was pointing out if the Bay is only 2 ft deep at low tide it would be no big deal to take a 14ft boat out there.
If you use silver lures, be sure to take them out of the package first. :-)

Would it be better to have a mistrial than a hung jury?
More frustrating for the Petersons in their hurry to get Scott home...Less frustrating for Rochas because it's a juror being stupid rather than insulting Laci being a hold-out for not guilty.
Or at least that's the straw I'll grasp on to for the moment. :-/

Just hear it too.
Possible mistrial coming up.
hear = heard
listening to Nancy Grace on knew.com 910am and she is reporting that the lawyers are in the courtroom, and mics on. KFBK reporting a possible jury misconduct.....
