Vel is at least IMO at least half right. The prosecution knows that by federal rules evidence is connective between Laci and the home area. IMHO Brazelton wanted two options to hold Scott b/c face it Scott had to have help for one simple reason--Laci was at home area that morning (a fact) but that was the best protected evidence wise by the perps.
Brazelton knew that ticket meant he had to show how SP did it while driving B/c of the time element etc. So the unknown in his mind, might give him a better arrest chance early. Remember the pressure is unreal.

I don't think we can know the reasons cause we do not know all the variables.

But one thing is now certain, in federal court the dog or dogs will be admitted if it is needed by the defense for support. Ok I didn’t tell brazeltons trash but I gotta tell on Geragos. If the defense feels in real trouble Geragos could try to get it out if only temporarily so Scott could sue for overturn if he was successful b/c of incompetence. Most good defense attorneys give their clients that gift which is supposed to compensate for leaving them penniless

Now that's as nice as I can be to Brazelton
