It is possible that Laci's death was the result of complications from the fight, but Scott's conversations with Amber and his arranging an alibi do make it seem like he was planning her death. Maybe he just got lucky!

[runningbear]

[Jackie-O]

[Jackie-O]

Amen to that sister!

I have to ping anyone who has kids and grandkids....take your kids to see The Return of the King. I just got back from the movie with mine. I was dreading going because this trilogy is so long, and we have been watching the dvds of the first 2 for months. But this one was truly awesome!! They all were but this final chapter was exceptional!

[pinz-n-needlez]

Best wishes to you, runningbear, for a long and happy marriage to your sweetheart. :-D

Just got home from seeing it, Jackie, and I still have tears in my eyes. I never thought FOTR or TTT could be topped. Peter Jackson is amazing!

DEVIL_ANSE ROTE: "The question of whether she taped illegally, and the question of whether the info garnered could be used against Scott in his trial, are TWO separate questions, and the answer to ONE of them is not necessarily dispositive of the other question."

I have used tapes several times in court---to impeach false testimony---you know, to help a LIAR's memory. Courts won't let you bring tapes in directly, but they CAN be brought in to refute false statements by the opposition.

I don't USUALLY tape conversations, but there have been several times when I thought someone was starting to act strangely in a business situation, and would tell me the truth directly, but was sending strangely different signals in their behaviour, so I secretly started taping our conversations.

Sure enough, in EVERY case, they developed amnesia when a really important time came for the truth to be stated. And in EVERY case, their sudden onset of amnesia disappeared---AFTER the tapes came out.

One warning before considering taping, of course, is that YOU must be telling the truth at ALL times, so that in the end, it is NOT "YOUR word against THEIR word," it is "THEIR word against THEIR word!" How can they argue with that? Answer: They CAN'T!

Oh, and if they say "I don't recall" as an answer, and YOU DO recall the situation vividly (and can TRUTHFULLY swear to it under oath), a lawyer of mine once asked the defendant "well, if YOU DON'T recall, and my client DOES RECALL---VIVIDLY---would you have any reason to doubt his/her recollection?"

The good news is that the defendant has two choices: (1) The defendant will virtually certainly say no meaning that YOUR recollection is taken as FACT (and it BETTER be true!!!!), and (2) If they say yes, they are ADMITTING they DO recall and have just PERJURED themselves in the previous claim of not recalling. Either way, it is a WIN-WIN for YOU---again, assuming YOU are telling the truth and the defendant is lying. It worked like a champ!

[Canadian Outrage]

Thanks for the info Jackie. My grandsons will never turn down going to a movie. LOL

[Canadian Outrage]

All the best to you rb. You sure picked a great time of year to tie the knot!! May happiness be yours and blessings to a long and happy marriage.! I'll be thinking of you on Saturday.

[Canadian Outrage]

The TRUTH seems to have a habit of acting that way!! Win-Win that is.

YAELLE WROTE: "There is no way a criminal can be as familiar with crime scenes as the cops. Plus, they have also seen previous staged settings. They can just smell the phonies. I am sure Scott stunk to high heaven from the first moment, even when the world was treating him as the perfect husband whose wife went missing."

Scotty-boy smelled funny to me from day one...as did OJ, Susan Smith, Jon Benet's mom, and Walker Railey (the former Dallas Methodist preacher who if I recall correctly was found civilly liable in the attempted murder of his strangled wife and who was left "PVS" (sound familiar to Terri???), etc.

None of them seemed even remotely upset that their "loved one" had been murdered or that a murder was attempted, but which left their "loved one" permanently disabled.

CANADIAN OUTRAGE WROTE: "The TRUTH seems to have a habit of acting that way!! Win-Win that is."

Amazing, isn't it?

[fiesti]

I wonder if they could find someone hideous enough to play Jackie (although they can work miracles with make-up/latex)..skilled enough to portray her Wacky personality.

How about that gal who did the 1 riny dingy 2 ringy dingy she could twist her face up to look like jackie or better yet that horrible lawyer always on greta that loves every killer and doesn't have to work hrd screwing her face up just needs a dye job

[fiesti]

Fingerprints on duct tape would be IMPOSSIBLE to rationally explain away.

I am praying so hard that the prints are there. It's like thay almost have to be.I little blood would help too

[Jackie-O]

YES!! Put a dark wig on Janie Wientraub and viola!! Her voice is just as annoying too!

[Jackie-O]

I was crying at the end too! I'm a crier when movies get emotional, but when I looked over at my little man he was teary eyed too. We had a long discussion when we got home about which was the creepiest looking creature in the movie. And that towering city/kingdom was incredible. I saw a "the making of" and they showed the small model they were using to film. Just incredible how they made it seem like a real kingdom!!

[Velveeta]

RB! Many prayers and blessings for the bride-to-be. Mr. RB is one lucky guy.

[Cloe]

Have a wonderful day on Saturday,runningbear.May it be the beginning of a lifetime of wonderful days!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!
