Can they use anything Scott said/didn't say in that interview as evidence? My dear Drj, they can use all of it! Thank heaven!

It's tricky, though, for them to argue to a jury, "Notice he didn't say such-and-such"... they would stay away from that sort of comment. I think they'll just put the statement out there... they can point out conflicting statements by Scott. The jurors will be able to draw a few conclusions of their own, also. I bet at least one juror will ask, "Why did he ask for grief counselors less than 24 hours after she went missing?"

I mean, when a loved one is missing and you're looking frantically, I call that panic and fear--not grief! You certainly don't want to sit around and talk about your feelings at a time like that--seems like you'd be still trying to do your best to find her. Unless...

RB,congratulations! Happy Holidays to all... Interesting articles and timing. My guess is the leak is from the defense, as better to get this damning data out over the holidays, when most people will not be following the case news. As you read through the interview, beside asking for counseling less than 8 hours after Laci was reported "missing": he cannot remember how long he has been married, in talking with Amy-he refers to "my, er, our house", refers to Laci "stealing my clothes", refers to leaving her a voice mail sometime "yesterday, 2:16pm"(wouldn't it still be the same day to him-most people would say "this afternoon"), and never asks about the search and what is being done to help find his "missing" wife. All I mean by this is that in the first hours of your 8 month pregnant wife being missing on Christmas Eve, these are not the responses of a concerned husband, one who hopes to see that wife again.

Anyone know if Wensleuths is down? I have not been able to get on in 3 days.

Exactly - also it is normal to see denial at a time like this.
