Thanks for your post.
Laci had to have been aware of Scott's behavior - I don't see how she could not have known there were definite problems.

You're both most welcome. It was a disturbing article in so many ways.

How many times are we going to read about SP breaking down and crying to get what he wants? He must have used this tactic all his life, as a distinct pattern is emerging.

Poor Laci fell for the act.

Here's the latest "press update" legal motion that was filed. It's the "Opposition to defendant's motion for a change of venue".

I think you're right, that Laci had to be aware of some of this. And don't forget, apparently even Kim McGregor was aware of some of it, since she noticed that Scott was "almost never home". Not that I'm blaming Laci. She may have been planning to dump the scumbag, but such things are not done overnight (unless murder is involved). Furthermore, maybe Laci had announced that she was leaving him and that led him to murder her--maybe his all-important image couldn't stand to be the one who got "left".
