Peterson faces arraignment, date for murder trial

Peterson faces arraignment, date for murder trial

Scott Peterson's trial date is expected to be set Wednesday after he is formally arraigned on charges he murdered his wife and unborn son.

But whatever date is picked could be pushed back for any of a number of reasons, including hearings on moving the trial to another county because of massive publicity.

Peterson, 31, faces his second arraignment in the case after Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Al Girolami last month upheld the charges following a 12-day preliminary hearing.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the former fertilizer salesman accused of murdering his wife, Laci, and their unborn son.

Girolami is likely also to consider other issues Wednesday, including:

Releasing Peterson's pickup truck and $15,000 cash found with him when he was arrested. Police are currently holding the items.

Lifting or revising a gag order prohibiting people connected to the case from speaking publicly about it.

Sealing six items of evidence submitted during Peterson's preliminary hearing.

Unsealing autopsy reports and search and arrest warrant documents at the request of The Modesto Bee and other newspapers.

Scheduling hearings on defense motions to exclude from trial evidence from wiretaps, vehicle-tracking devices, scent-tracking dogs and a hypnotized witness.

Peterson's attorneys, Mark Geragos and Kirk McAllister, filed a motion last week asking for the cash and the truck to be released to Peterson or his "designated representative."

"It's an expensive task for the family to fund this," Geragos said in Stanislaus County Superior Court.

Investigators seized Peterson's 2002 Ford pickup Dec. 27 while they searched his Covena Avenue home. They found $15,000 cash with him when he was arrested April 18 north of San Diego driving a used Mercedes he had recently purchased.......

The swelling San Francisco Bay is no place for a relatively small aluminum boat, many said. Most added that it's crazy to fish alone for sturgeon, which often top 100 pounds and 6 feet in length. Others who prefer to start at daybreak chuckled at the thought of Peterson launching after noon.

Thnx Runningbear..and as we all know, this story "stank" to high heaven from day one. Maybe geragos will come down like a "...ton of bricks..." on the people who are picking on scottie. ;-)

Interesting about how the bottom of the Bay is slippery and objects just slide along on it...

Thanks, Runningbear! Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was great! Except Scotty's!

Most added that it's crazy to fish alone for sturgeon, which often top 100 pounds and 6 feet in length.

Is that why he had "planned" to fish for sturgeon? Because if someone had seen him with something huge, it would have been a wrapped up sturgeon? And then it "got away" somehow?

By the way, I finally finished "The Stranger Beside Me," Ann Rule's book about her "friend" Ted Bundy. What an amazing story. I guess it's about how any "friends" of Scott feel now. Fascinating read for all you true crimeys that have not yet read it. I was only mad that the print was so small I had to get a pair of reading glasses to read the paperback. Cool is that it has had about 4 new endings added as time has passed.
