LACI DIAL-A-TRIAL
LACI DIAL-A-TRIAL
By HOWARD BREUER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
November 19, 2003 -- MODESTO, Calif. - Scott Peterson was ordered yesterday to stand trial in the murder of wife Laci and their unborn son after investigators testified he and his mistress, Amber Frey, called each other 241 times over a 93-day period that began a year ago today.
Modesto Detective Jon Buehler recalled one conversation, secretly recorded on Jan. 6, in which Frey threatened to tell cops about the affair and some things Scott told her during their private talks.
Peterson, in the same call, urged her to continue dating him.
Lawyers introduced a transcript of the conversation into evidence but did not play a tape.
"Sweetie, you think I had something to do with her disappearance? Amber, do you believe that?" Peterson asked, according to the transcript.
Frey: "Well, let's see how can I believe? How can I believe that? How could I believe anything for . . . ?"
Peterson: "I am not . . . evil like that."
Frey: "I would hope not."
Peterson told Frey he was "longing to hold on to" her, Buehler testified, adding that he was with Frey during the conversation.
The 12th and final day of the preliminary hearing began with testimony from a prosecution phone sleuth who logged each of the 241 calls on a large calendar with pink ink for Amber's calls and blue for Scott's.
The most calls in one day was on Dec. 26 - two days after Laci Peterson's disappearance - when Scott called Amber twice and she called him 14 times, Steve Jacobson testified.
But Peterson's lawyer, Mark Geragos noted, there were no calls on Valentine's Day.
Buehler, the detective who worked closest with Frey, said she recalled for him an incident two weeks before Laci's Christmas Eve disappearance when Peterson came to her house and told her he'd lost his wife.
Peterson was "showing emotion and saying he'd lied to her, that he'd been married in the past and he'd lost [his wife] and this was going to be his first holiday without her.

The prosecution seems to have a very weak case. Everything they presented so far is what would be found for any husband having an affair.
The prosecution has a very good case against him proving that they lived together, and that he cheated on his wife, but nothing to prove he actually killed her.

NARAL to Pay Half of Scott Peterson's Legal Fees
(2003-11-19) -- The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) today announced it would pay half of the legal fees for the defense of Scott Peterson, who is accused of killing his wife and unborn son. Mr. Peterson was bound over for trial in California yesterday after an 11-day preliminary hearing.
"We don't know whether Mr. Peterson is guilty of killing his wife," said NARAL President Kate Michelman. "But no matter what he did to the fetus, it's okay because the fetus is not a human. It's an outrage that the court is putting Scott Peterson on trial for something that America's fine abortion doctors do legally hundreds of times every day."

I dunno. From what I've read the prosecution is going to have an uphill battle. Sure, SP is a swarmy cheat and liar but that's not enough for a murder conviction. I've been known to wear the same outfit the next day. Mr. M says he finds my hairs at his work when I haven't been there in a decade. There's weird markings on our garage floor that could be made out to be who knows what. And how many cheating spouses have come up with the same "I'm a widow" cover stories. If he did it then I hope he fries but if he didn't, then the police have let another murderer slip through their fingers due to their not investigating all avenues.

The Lee and Jackie Petersons have encumbered the property at 523 Covena with a deed of trust and an assignment of rents, recorded 11/17/03. IOW, they have probably lent money to SP (spelled attorney fees and house payments) and used the house for collateral. So much for them being the all sacrificing doting parents, pay up kid. They might be trying to rent the place soon, too.
The Rochas may have some claim against this action since they are/will be entitled to Laci's half of the proceeds on the eventual sale of the home.
