Geragos deconstructs prosecution's case against Peterson
Defense attorney: Fetus was born full-term therefore defendant's not responsible for murders
By Jason Dearen, STAFF WRITER
REDWOOD CITY -- Scott Peterson is a cad not a killer, his defense attorney said Wednesday as he began an assault on the very essence of the evidence against Peterson -- when his wife and child died.
In the scenario cast by attorney Mark Geragos, the child was born alive weeks after Christmas Eve 2002, the date prosecutors say his mother, Laci Peterson, had been killed.
"If this baby was born alive, clearly Scott Peterson had nothing to do with this murder," Geragos explained to the six men and six women of the jury. .......

Peterson's lawyer attacks investigators' work
By Brian Anderson
CONTRA COSTA TIMES
REDWOOD CITY - Saying Scott Peterson was "stone-cold innocent," defense attorney Mark Geragos blasted the police detectives Wednesday who investigated the murder of Laci Peterson and the thin case he said they cobbled together against her husband.
In his first chance to lay out his side of the case, Geragos said Modesto police believed early on that Peterson had something to do with his wife's Dec. 24, 2002, disappearance and they worked to prove only that. Through slipshod detective work, lies and far-fetched theories, they built a laughable case from circumstantial evidence that led to the prosecution of an innocent man, he said.
"The evidence is going to show beyond any doubt that not only is Scott Peterson not guilty.""......

REDWOOD CITY -- The same gravity that is holding together the "12 galaxies" apparently had enough pull to draw San Francisco's eccentric sign-toting icon, Frank Chiu, and others looking for a little collateral publicity, to the Redwood City Courthouse on Tuesday for the start of the Scott Peterson murder trial.
Parked near the courthouse in a van covered with biblical and anti-abortion messages, Ronald Brock of San Diego sought attention for his message that killing an unborn child, through abortion or any other means, is a crime.
"Murder is murder, give Conner justice," read a banner on the van. Conner was the name Scott and Laci Peterson planned to give their unborn child before a pregnant Laci disappeared in late 2002. Her husband is facing two counts of murder for their deaths.".....

1:23 p.m., PDT: REDWOOD CITY - Scott Peterson had nothing to do with his pregnant wifes murder - and his legal team will prove it, defense attorney Mark Geragos declared dramatically this morning during his opening statement.
The evidence is going to show clearly, beyond any doubt, that not only was Scott not guilty, but stone-cold innocent, Geragos told jurors.
Peterson, 31, of Modesto, came under media and police scrutiny after Laci Peterson vanished Dec. 24, 2002. But Peterson had no opportunity to kill her and their unborn son, Conner, Geragos said.
Evidence will show the baby was born alive, the Los Angeles lawyer announced in a series of revelations. They include:
Laci Peterson knew that her husband bought a fishing boat shortly before she vanished - and was in the boat Dec. 20.
The Petersons didnt talk about the boat, even during......

I can't think of one case,
which is why I reference him
"never won a case Mickey" but
his face is sure on every TV show.
Personally, I don't find him as
offensive as some of the other
defense attorneys.
I'll try to catch it tonight.
I forgot about Feiger. No love lost between he and geragos. Also Nancy Grace. She does NOT entertain fools.
I was just going to ask,
where I can find Feiger.
On Greta's show?
Yes indeed to all you wrote.
Henry Lee is a Forensic WHORE who prostitues his profession.
He is horrid.
And for being in this country
for so long, he needs to lose
the damn accent and sloppy speech.
The vocabulary necessary in forensics
and in medicine dictates that much.
Well dammit.
Not happy with that.
I thought he was going to EXPLODE.....he said Geragos will never get by that. Never.
"Only a few dates? Who cares? HE CALLED HER 96 TIMES !!!"
I am the parent of four children, one died in a swimming accident, so I know what it's like to lose a child.
My point is I trully don't know what would cause me greater emotional pain; for my child to die or for my child to be tried for murder, pain if he were guilty, more pain I think if I thought he were innocent.
Yep, every night!
Thanks.
I like Feiger on this case. :)
Then Scott Peterson should think about telling the truth; he had a chance to do that the first day of her disappearance and he never, ever talked to the police.
If there is pain for his family, he has brought it to them.
The problem I have with Lee is that I feel quite certain it is all part of the show, his accent, the befuddled smile that is perennially on his face, etc. He knows exactly what he is doing, can speak perfectly clearly when he needs to, but his English becomes muddled when it suits him. He always gets his one liners in:"You all look alike to me".
He is easily bought and paid for, and loves the camera.
Pain would be my state, too. BUT I assure you, laughing, punching each other when police mistakes are brought up, rolling eyes, and just general ridiculous white trash behavior in a courtroom would NOT be my state. They have no mercy from me.
Nah, he just wants her to come on his show.
You're not on the wrong thread.
Yes, most of us believe SP is guilty,
but his attorney, Mark Geragos, has promised
to show us the REAL killer, so we are content
to follow the trial on a daily basis awaiting
the identity of Laci and Conner's murderer(s).
Is ice water GOOD for keyboards???? LOL.
I'll try to remember to watch Greta tonight.
!
I am popping in and out reading comments on this thread so am just now reading that. My goodness.
