Without the head, though, they will never know cause of death. However, there is so much circumstantial evidence here. Once the jury sees the two stories; the one that Scott says happened and the one the evidence points to, he will be convicted. That's what I think from this perspective. I am surprised that some of us here think he will be acquitted. The O.J. jury will NOT be a part of this.
We need to have women and family men on that jury. We need to minimize sleazy cheats and single guys, because their own personal guilt will have them saying "So he cheats! That doesn't make him a murderer!" A couple of pregnant women would be GREAT, though they could NOT sit through that testimony and the profuse vomiting and crying would get them excused. But they'd hang him quick.
There sure were plenty of reasons in the first few hours for LE to suspect him.
I found it also curious that Brocchini didn't know whether the residue tests ever came back and what the results might have been. My first initial reaction was....maybe they have her head! Otherwise, I don't know why there wouldn't be a need for Brocchini to know the results.
