[Canadian Outrage]

I just have to type you what was posted on CTV this afternoon. It is extremely interesting and excitingly revealing to me. It goes as follows: Heading: FINGERPRINTS? HANDWRITING ANALYSIS: Oceaanblueeys read the 23 pages of the Jury Questionnaire. She has served on two murder juries in the past and finds this revealing:
She quotes: " What I found interesting is the questioning if they knew anyone that was in a particular SPECIALIZED TRAINING. tHE LIST WAS QUITE TELLING in her opinion. Five of the types of specialized training caused her to pause. I quote: "I believe that it gives us a glimpse of who will be testifying in this trial. I will list them again... please add others that you think may be significant.
1. Banking/Finance.. Are we going to see a repeat of the MP financial downfall? 2. Drugs/Alcohol... Did they find traaaceable drugs in Laci's body after all? Or are they going to testify of SP's dealings with drugs? Maybe both? 3. Firearms.... Is there another firearm that we are not aware of? Does the hand gun SP had in the truck hold a secret? 4. Handwriting Analysis... Why is a handwriting expert being called? Are there forged documents in this case? Is this the insurance policy? Or other documents such as fraud committed by SP? 5. Fingerprints?...Whose fingerprints? Where? On tape perhaps? On the recently cleaned window in Laci's home or on the window sill? Could the fingerprint be left in some type of DNA of Laci? I had thought these things are very interesting and like a mini-road map of who may testify.

Another poster wrote: The handwriting analysis may be about the note Scott wrote and put up at the Search Centre, or about the fake ID and stuff that was used to buy the car under the *Boy named Sue*, Maybe they found the gun was recently fired in that truck and Scott lied?

Then another poster wrote Graphoanalysts, like this one, are legit. http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/ancmag/1595.asp. I didn't check the site but it goes on to say: Maybe the handwwriting analysis has something to do with Scott's character also. An experienced Graphologisst is supposed to be able to make certain assumptions about the subject's personality through the size, shape of letters, legibility, etc. of their writing. Wondering if there is more to the insurance,such as an increasee in coverage that Laci herself did not endorse? The possibilities are numerous.

Lastly, another poster surmises that perhaps LE found a threatening note to Laci? The interesting thing is the fingerprint expert. Is there indeed Scott's fingerprints that have been lifted from the duct tape used to tape Laci "together"? In any event, there are a number of EXPERTS in the above noted fields, listed to testify!!

Sorry for the length of this but I think it is extremely revealing. The Prosecution has done an exemplery job of "hiding the ball" on a number of absolutely KEY issues!! What do the rest of you think? CO

Very interesting and your penned us a thorough report. Several 'thangs' to consider and ponder. Thanks CO.

"I just have to type you what was posted on CTV this afternoon."

Thanks for posting that information. It is very telling - I think we will learn quite a bit during the trial.

That's some VERY thought-provoking stuff, CO!! First, though, I don't think they would allow anyone to testify as to conclusions that can be drawn about Scott's personality from the way he writes. If there's a handwriting expert on there, then as you said, it's gonna be someone who is going to say WHO wrote something, by comparing the something to known samples of that person's handwriting. And that someone is almost certainly Scott Peterson. And I think you are right--it may well be that strange poster he put up for the searchers.

Thanks for reminding me of that poster--it was extremely STRANGE. He KNEW she was dead from the first, and he showed it in so many ways! And he was still hiding from the media; we mustn't forget how very strange it was in the early days, when we could barely tell who or where the husband of the missing woman WAS. And he couldn't even sign his thank-you poster with his NAME! The fact that he thought he could hide his identity from everyone, while his wife remained missing, goes a long way to show just how far removed from reality this man's thinking is.

The fingerprint and firearms experts--really intriguing. I have no idea what the firearms expert will say. We have never heard any serious stories of a gun being used, so WHY?

And we've never heard anything really definite saying that they used fingerprints in this investigation, so WHY THAT?

As DA says, that is thought provoking stuff, CO. BUT what about question #45 on the questionnaire?
"Do you have a bumper sticker on your car?"

[drjulie]

I don't know if this has been posted yet - but you can read the actual questionnaire at the modbee

Why should there be any evidence needed. Anyone just looking at the pictures of Scott knows he's guilty. I mean, that dead pan face and smirk on his lying lips! They just oughta deem him guilty and save everybody a lot of time, so we can bring closure to Laci and her poor, sweet, dead baby!

[Jackie-O]

Remember the report of the questioning of SP when they asked him to be tested for gunshot residue, and he asked if he would test positive if he ran an outboard motor???
May that's the possible firearms testimony...maybe Snott tested positive for gunshot residue????
Thanks for that report Lynn, great stuff, maybe a little peek into the State's case.

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

We've been traveling, so I have a lot of reading to catch up on.

I wander over to CTV some evenings when things are quiet here. It gets brutal sometimes. I like life here. :-)
