Can you BELIEVE that? 8000 pages? And the judge is going to read all this? Oh, okay...

[Velveeta]

That could be. We were all speculating that that was one of the reasons Amy was crying when she left the house.

[Velveeta]

I love it. Except since his schnazz is a tad "cigar shaped" perhaps Monica could be branded on his nose.

[Sandylapper]

Puhleeze, Vel, don't forget that SP also drugged MacKenzie and kicked Laci's cat! ROFL

[Velveeta]

Someone would sink like a rock wearing such things.

I hope they're sold with appropriate warning labels: "Do not attempt to swim while wearing ankle weights, as this could be hazardous to your health."

[Devil_Anse]

Yes, the NE's idea of his putting the tan pants back on her, that's starting to bother me. Okay, I don't believe that one. (And I'm rather gullible!)

I think she died wearing those tan pants and that patterned shirt--the one that was balled up in her underwear drawer (supposedly.) Or she was wearing the pants, but not the shirt. (After all, the remains had no trace of a shirt.)

Okay, well, maybe he snuck up on her while she was starting to change for bed. Suppose she had just taken her shirt off. Or suppose he used her shirt to strangle her with. I mean, she might have been just lifting it over her head, and he came up and grabbed it and got it around her neck tightly...

Oh, wait. The pajamas in the grocery bag. Then what was THAT about?

[Velveeta]

It's probably 8000 pictures of Geragos labeled as such.

"Here's one with me and Larry King" "Here's one with me and Greta." "Oh, I look good in this one with Dan Abrams"..."Here's one with..."

[Sandylapper]

Did they ever find those 20# ankle weights? I thought MPD was going on the theory that he made concrete weights to sink poor Laci.

[Velveeta]

Please don't make me re-do my list!

Greta is on, back later.

[Devil_Anse]

Okay, Scott walks.

I am just thinking, though... one thing that has bothered me all along is something that will not be presented by the state as an argument that Scott did it. But in spite of that, it is something that in MY mind makes ME think Scott did it: the question I have for you is (and yes, I know this has no place in a courtroom), if Scott didn't kill her, who did, and above all, WHY?

[Devil_Anse]

"She was wearing a black tarp and a white pillowcase, Officer".

Omigosh, that is funny and not funny at the same time!!

"Gobs of jewelry".

Yeah, well we know why THAT was reported--so he could make an insurance claim for those diamonds.

[Devil_Anse]

ROFL!!! Hey, it would IMPROVE his looks...

[Devil_Anse]

LOL!!! And they better have that on there in Spanish, too!

[Devil_Anse]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!

[Devil_Anse]

As far as I know, they didn't find them.

I'm sure they DO think he used the concrete--AND the ankle weights. Can't have too much weight when sinking a body! (Gee, we've learned so many useful things in the last 11 months!)

And whaddya know, all the weight that was on that body STILL wasn't enough to keep it down...

[Velveeta]

Yeah, well we know why THAT was reported--so he could make an insurance claim for those diamonds.

And, perhaps, pass them on to his beloved Amber.

[Velveeta]

Gosh, can you believe it's been almost a year??? ROFL! And here we are...still.

[Sandylapper]

if Scott didn't kill her, who did, and above all, WHY?

If he didn't, then money or a jealous woman would/could be the motive. We heard from that character, Carroll (or his attorney, Muna), that there was a kidnap plan, and that they were planning to extort money from the Rochas. It has occured to me that maybe SP told the gang that say $250k would be no problem for the Rochas. Suppose for a minute that (IF SP didn't do it), after Laci disappeared, SP got the feeling that the Rochas were kind of po'd at him, and he'd better not ask them! Then, say, he was trying to come up with the money himself to get her back, like selling Laci's car, trying to sell the house, but he knew dang well he'd better not tell anyone of his sleazy plan. Suppose Dirty and Skeeter gave him two weeks or so to come up with money, and SP couldn't or wouldn't. He would have been afraid of Dirty and Skeeter and wouldn't want to toss their names out there, and he certainly didn't want to go to jail himself, so .....

As for the jealous lover, maybe we should look more carefully at his neighbor who seemed to be around at all times. Just a couple of ideas--if Scott didn't do it himself.

[Canadian Outrage]

Somehow doubt that MG will want THAT statement included. What a prick!!

[Palladin]

Thank you for bringing us up to speed on the latest news and the tabloid story.

I think he strangled her with his bare hands. While she was still dressed.

The tabloids always slip up on a few details.

I also think she fought like a lioness to protect her unborn son.

So sad.

My heart goes out to the Rochas as Christmas approaches.
