12:27 p.m., PST: While responding to a missing person report on Laci Peterson Dec. 24, Modesto police officer Jon Evers saw a throw rug scrunched against a doorway leading to a driveway at her Covena Avenue home, Evers testified late this morning.
Prosecutors may hope to show that a body dragged through the doorway could have rumpled up the rug. They believe Laci Peterson, who was almost eight months pregnant at the time, was killed Dec. 23 or 24. Testifying on the fifth day of Scott Peterson’s preliminary hearing, Evers also clarified that officer Matt Spurlock told him at the house that Scott Peterson couldn’t say what he was fishing for in the Bay Area on Christmas Eve.
Peterson, 31, is charged in the slayings of his pregnant wife, Laci, and their son, Conner. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Questioned late Dec. 24 about the mispositioned rug, Scott Peterson told Evers that a dog or cat may have been playing there, Evers said. Last week, a house cleaner testified that she didn’t see pets in the home on any of the four times she worked there. But, she said she filled a water bowl in the house that appeared to be for a pet. Under cross-examination by defense attorney Kirk McAllister, Evers admitted that he noted nothing about the rug in his written police report, nor did he amend the report later. Evers said he was in a hurry when writing the report but mentioned the rug’s position to Det. Al Brocchini.
McAllister earlier today suggested that Brocchini may have planted evidence to frame Peterson, a fertilizer salesman. At the close of today’s half-day hearing, prosecutor Rick Distaso said he intends to call Brocchini to the stand Wednesday.
A decision they will live to regret. SP is not going to get away with this. Lee and Jackie just cheated themselves out of a comfortable retirement. Scott would fair the same with a public defender IMHO.
