Testifying as the man accused of murdering your daughter looks on is something Teresa Vanderheiden doesn't wish on anybody.
"You try to keep your eyes focused on one thing," Vanderheiden said. "I remember looking at the clock a lot, thinking that would avoid it. But your eyes meet."
Anger flashed through Vanderheiden as -- in separate trials -- she came face to face with the men accused of murdering her 25-year-old daughter, Cyndi, in 1998.
"They're looking at you and as you look down and see them, you want to … " Vanderheiden, speaking from her Clements home, trailed off for a moment. "You just want to get rid of them."........

Peterson's Martha Defense
By CHRIS TAYLOR
Monday, Jun. 14, 2004
Martha Stewart was back in the legal spotlight last week — at another high-profile trial that has obsessed the media. As Scott Peterson went on trial for the murder of his pregnant wife Laci, the defense scored a surreal but key point by playing a videotape of the TV homemaker. Peterson had said that on the morning the prosecution says he killed Laci, she was watching Stewart talk about meringue. The Modesto, Calif., police department claimed no meringue was mentioned on Stewart's show that morning. But Peterson attorney Mark Geragos, in his opening statement, played the tape and showed otherwise.
That was just the first of many early embarrassments for the authorities. Geragos has displayed a talent for getting prosecution witnesses to point out inaccuracies in police reports. While prosecutors were trying to show that Laci was too tired to walk the family dog, as Peterson claims she was going to do the last time he saw her, they also inexplicably pointed out that she was able to go to a salon and a spa and buy about $100 worth of groceries that day. "It's a bit confusing what the prosecution is doing at this point," says former San Francisco district attorney Jim Hammer. ..........

But then Laci was pushed around in a wheelchair at some trip they took right?? My mind is on overload this week with waiting for word on my transfer...(major stress...yikes!!) I may be mistaken.
older parts of Modesto water are not metered...The newer developments are.... But all changing as law is now requiring statewide, all homes to be metered.
Thanks, Vel! I'm sure that list will be one of prosecution's exhibits soon!
Okay, maybe I'm a little slow...is this for real, or a gag???
Misfit to do list
Forgot one- Refill Viagra.
ROFLMAO!!!
Modbee:
Rocha also testified her brother in law had invited her over to the couple's house for pizza the night of Dec. 23 after she cut his hair in the salon where she worked.

The ModBee has reported Amy testified today she found Laci's pants, blouse, shoes but not the coat that she was wearing at the Salon the night before she disappeared. WHAT's UP WITH THAT? Did the ModBee goof since no one else is mentioning it. Sorry don't know how to post the link. This could be interesting.
Oh, I hope that's true!
Me too Vel. From the report I read, it was said that they took a photo of Laci's torso (remains) and overlayed it on the sss picture and it fit perfectly!!
I guess we wait for the timeline to play itself out.
So true. Besides, walking with actual human(e) beings along a beach, etc (does Jackie count?) is quite a different situation from walking the dog in that particular park all alone in her apparent condition. What's Mackenzie going to do when Laci faints/vomits, pull a Lassie and get the doctor?
Check haircut.
I buckled over laughing on the haircuts too.
Ron Grantski tomorrow. Should be an eye opener.
LOL, I don't know about that.
Gag, gag, gag.
Yes, refill Viagra and order Adult channels...
Okay, I'm slow....
Read it again and you'll see.
It totally cracked me up when I read it at that site and thought we could all use a chuckle.
