You make a point, but who would have suspected that Scott Peterson would be dumb enough to call his mistress hundreds of times just before and many times after his wife's disappearance.

I think it's arrogance. He had his in-laws believing that he was going to use the lawsuit funds for Terri's rehabilitation. At the time the police started investigating, Terri's parents couldn't comprehend that Michael may have actually been involved and defended him to the police.

I would never believe he would have gotten away with all he has so far. He lied about what he planned to use the funds for to get the jury to give him a big award. Perhaps the doctor had a previous malpractice suit and wanted to settle quickly.

At the time the police started investigating, Terri's parents couldn't comprehend that Michael may have actually been involved and defended him to the police.

Fr. Rob wrote that the police came to Mr. Schindler around the time of the mishap after having been alerted by ER personnel (can't find that part now), and Mr. Schindler answered in the negative. There never was an investigation after that. Today Fr. Rob has also written that the father told him Terri had bruises on her neck.

"Also, Bob related, "it's in the medical record that when Terri was brought into the hospital she had bruises around her neck." Doctors for the Schindlers have testified that those bruises were consistent with manual strangulation."
