Better brace yourself; you have a few weeks until the jury is picked, then it's going to be back on 24/7.

That's what I was thinking!! Does that mean that want people who are easily mixed up? Scott Peterson's life is a lesson in ambiguity.

Amazing, the lovely keepsakes which can be made with toilet paper and toothpaste!

(I heard next Christmas Scott is gonna take a class on how to make Santa Clauses from folded Reader's Digest magazines and cotton balls.... got me thinking... you know, no ex-Girl Scout need ever be bored if forced to serve a life sentence...)

"Dear Mr. Geragos and Mr. Distaso: I have had one affair, it was with a lady called Mrs. Geragos; can't remember her first name. Please do not tell! Sincerely, Juror 1091."

"a high tolerance for ambiguity"

Translation: "a high tolerance for the droppings of the bull; also, someone who thinks EGRESS is a type of bird."

"easily mixed up" = "stupid"

To quote a lawyer who was on a multiple-defendant federal drug case, "What we're looking for is the stupidest twelve people in the district."

Alas, them jurors, some of 'em ain't as dumb as they look... his client is serving life.

With respect to your post #13 - The very questions that the Defense want answered clearly UNDERSCORE the bad character of their client. And frankly a DIRECT question such as "have YOU ever had an affair?" is inappropriate.

We might as well laugh while we can. I know the trial is going to get ugly fast: like as soon as Jackie P enters the courtroom.

That's a very good point you make, about that direct question, "Have YOU ever had an affair" being inappropriate. Furthermore, I think a lot of jurors will be insulted and put off by it. As someone here said, the impulse is to answer, "None of your business!"

I'm just glad to know that (while they do have some financial power) the Petersons are not without unlimited funds. IMO, sometimes jurors can be bought. But a defendant has to be able to afford them.

...and don't forget Jo-Ellen Demitirius is the jury cunsultant for the defense--she picked the O.J. jury!!!!
