Distaso focuses on Laci's clothes
Defense questions accuracy of Modesto Police reports
By Jason Dearen, STAFF WRITER
REDWOOD CITY -- While prosecutors focused Thursday on "Mary Jane" shoes and the color of pants Laci Peterson wore on the day before her murder, the alleged killer's defense attorneys launched their assault on the Modesto Police Department's murder investigation. On the first full day of testimony in the double-murder trial, prosecutor Rick Distaso called six witnesses who either saw or had information about Laci's actions on the last day she was seen alive.
Witnesses testified that, on the day before her disappearance, Laci did some grocery shopping for Christmas dinner
at Trader Joe's, got a facial waxing at a day spa, and accompanied husband Scott Peterson to get his hair cut. .....

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. .......

Witness testifies that Laci was a 'rare pregnant woman'"
“She was a rare pregnant woman,” said Michelle Buer, whom Peterson saw regularly for day-spa treatments. “She was very happy through her whole pregnancy.”
Testimony from Buer and three others this morning sketched a picture of Laci Peterson going about holiday business and mildly pampering herself Dec. 23, 2002 - the day before she was reported missing, sparking a massive search........

REDWOOD CITY -- A maternity blouse similar to the one Laci Peterson was wearing hours before prosecutors believe she was murdered was found wadded up in a dresser drawer at her home, Peterson's sister testified Thursday.
But prosecutors failed to lay out the significance of that for jurors in a disjointed first full day of testimony that showcased "missed opportunities," one legal observer said. ......

Feb. 16: Laci Peterson: A Fateful 24 Hours
MODESTO, Calif. -- By all accounts, the Christmas holiday season was one of Laci Peterson's favorite times of the year. She enjoyed creating special desserts and had even taken cooking classes in France.
Her skills had earned her the nickname of 'cake lady' from several of those closest to her. Family and friends waited in anticipation to see what she would whip up for holiday gatherings........

I read that entire site. I'll eat my shirt if they don't have this cold blooded killer cinched!! From a long post by Scandi on ANOTHER thread on Websleuths, she definitely appears to have some inside info on something that is coming out from the side scan sonar operator. It is most certainly alluded to carefully in those articles. It was apparently a "mistake" to repeat to the media what Wasden said. So they backtracked a bit to try to bury the fact that they had Laci "full with child" and could see where she was weighted, on camera. It's only my opinion, but I figure this is coming in later with the testimony of Ralston and/or another MPD employee Cloward.
Just wish they would publish the witness lists.Right now I am interested in the material in Laci's hair,the black coat that Distaso told the jury to remember,the shutters, the deposits on Laci's lower extremities and the gun.
I know, but the media are such freaks I guess they can't. It's important to me tho that I have faith in Rick Distaso as a Prosecutor and the time is coming, that this ignorant, low class Peterson clan are going to have the snot wiped off their faces. They won't be laughing and mocking any more. I would just love to be in the Courtroom each day although I might not be able to contain myself LOL!!
I just re-read your post 102 - her lower extremities?????
There was testimony at the PE @ deposits on Laci's lower extremities. Rumor .... Concrete.
Forget the media. LOl.
Speaking of media...here is a blog from the Time mag reporter who has been in the courtroom. He's British, and since it's his personal blog, you never know what might appear.

That would be fabulous. The more "concret" evidence the better.
He sounds pretty much like everything went over his little British head!!
Thanks for the Pics Jackie...
Ref: How laci's blouse got into their dresser, good question?
What about the girl who broke into the house and was trying on Laci's clothes,etc.. Did that really happen or was it a rumor?
