WHAT LACI MURDER? ASKS ATT'Y
December 23, 2003 -- MODESTO, Calif. - Just because Scott Peterson was having an affair doesn't make him a murderer, his attorney argued in a 12-page motion to dismiss charges that Peterson killed his pregnant wife, Laci.
The lawyer, Mark Geragos, even claims there's no proof Laci or her unborn child were murdered.
The motion, which will be argued Jan. 14, two weeks before the scheduled start of Peterson's trial, says that prosecutors laid out an extraordinarily feeble case last month in the three-week preliminary hearing.
It provides the first comprehensive look at the defense's case, because attorneys are under a gag order.
Geragos - moonlighting as Michael Jackson's lawyer - emphasized that that the bodies of Laci and her unborn son washed up separately. He said there was no evidence that either of them were slain.

no evidence that either of them were slain Oh, sure, people in their 20's are always being found lying (or floating) around dead somewhere. And the bodies washed up separately... what the hell does that prove, considering that the bodies have been proven to be mother and son?
Obviously she went to the marina (by levitation--since her car remained in her driveway) to gaze out over the water, and just fell in and forgot how to swim.
I assume that Geragos included this in his motion: "And considering that I have to spend a lot of time doing PR for a case in which the client has much more money, it would be better if this murder case were dismissed, so I could concentrate my energies on Jackson. I need a win, in order to impress my client Jackson, so please dismiss this case."
