SCOTT: I WEEP IN JAIL

Somewhere btw $200 and $300. His debts, while a source of despair for him, were not out of this world. OTOH, that was back in the 70's.

I didn't get to watch any TV this weekend between the halloween party for the kids, football games, cleaning windows and light fixtures.

YUP - Snotty had PRE-planned every detail of this murder. However I doubt he EVER thought this would garner so much attention. Also, as Dr. Wecht stated, the person that did this, did not expect the body(is) to surface - EVER!! Poor Snott, all that planning somehow keeps unraveling right before us all.

[Velveeta]

The maid put the bucket with the rags on the washer. SP put the bucket with 2 mops outside. Mops were wet cause they were freshly used by Snotty.

[Canadian Outrage]

Those mops were so wet that they were soaking the cement on the stoop. Snotty was for sure, scrubbing his buns off, on something.

[Velveeta]

I think he pre-planned it also, but it took longer than he thought and he didn't make the tee time. Usually tee times are reserved several days to a week in advance.

>>YUP - Snotty had PRE-planned every detail of this murder.<<

I think he had it all planned, too, but may have had to move his plans up because of something unexpected. Like maybe Amber called Laci or maybe the last doctor's visit indicated the baby could come earlier than previously expected. I think this because he told Amy he was going golfing and offered to pick up her gift basket rather than going with the fishing trip as he told everyone afterwards he had *planned* to do.

As for it all unravelling, Snotty's not the sharpest knife in the drawer as he's shown us all time and again.

Don't know about Fox, but CNN (Paula Zahn) spent a half hour on it, with their CNN/People show. There were some photos that I haven't seen before.

Laci, of course, was called "jabber-jaws", a name I think her step-father gave her when she was a child. She was vivacious, and they said she was always the center of attention. I think she was just a very busy little person, but people have to understand that such people usually do not mean harm, they just like action. I mean, the rest of the people are usually glad to have such a person around, it's like, when you catch up with Laci, you've found "the party". They showed a picture where Scott and several of their male friends were all sitting around with cigars and brandy, playing the part of the up-and-coming young businessmen. Laci was in the picture, though! Clearly the person taking it had planned for it to be a picture of the guys. Laci apparently saw them all getting ready to take the picture and just dove into the group, smiling.

The people who were there said no one saw this as meddling or anything, and they said that Scott didn't seem to think anything of it, it was just "that's Laci!"

So I'm not saying that there was anything wrong with Laci, but maybe it was different from Scott's secret point of view, maybe he saw her as a threat.

[Velveeta]

I would venture to guess that the maid when she put the mop outside, put it moppy part up....so that it will dry. Men who don't typically mop, don't know these things.

[Canadian Outrage]

I believe that is what the Prosecution is doing also. They are working on the foundation right now and I think they are being very methodical also. Prosecutors have to build a case to give a Jury FULL picture of what occured.

[Canadian Outrage]

Agreed. He's a legend in his OWN mind.

No smoking in jails/prisons east of the Mississippi, either. And they do NOT have beautiful floor coverings. And it smells; it always smells.

I've never been in jail or prison...

[Canadian Outrage]

Speaking of friends - I don't see ANY friends of Snotts in the Court room or on talk shows. It appears he never ever made lasting friendship all through his life.

[Velveeta]

I wish we could have seen McAllister finish the cross of the cop. The questions the defense will choose to skate over will be telling, IMO.

[Devil_Anse]

Mercifully, the parties my kids went to (and homecoming game) were elsewhere. I was the chauffeur.

I've got my son's bedroom all ready to put some primer on, in preparation to painting it. I'll be out when the sun comes up, as Home Depot opens early for the contractors to go and buy stuff. Or I'll be sitting here when the sun comes up, thinking about how I really need to get to Home Depot. (Any bets on which of the two it will be?)

[An American In Dairyland]

I'll bet on the second.

[Devil_Anse]

But that's not what we're supposed to THINK, Vel! We're not supposed to notice that he fastidiously mopped the floor immediately after returning from a strenuous day fishing on the bay! (Yeah, boy, I know when I come in from being outdoors all day, first thing I do is mop all the floors.)

[Canadian Outrage]

Even the evidence the Defense is fighting so hard have excluded is very telling too.

[Devil_Anse]

Incredible, if he expected to be up all night murdering his wife and baby, and getting their bodies into the bay 85 miles away, and then to be going to play golf in the morning!

Oh, way early, remember we were wondering, when did he sleep? I'm still wondering. I have this mental picture of him maybe taking a brief nap in his car or his warehouse, somewhere along the line. Then I hear that he was falling asleep while talking to police on the 24th. Aha!
