ALL EXCERPTS:
SCOTT BURNED IN RAGE
By HOWARD BREUER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 10, 2004 -- REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Scott Peterson was more distraught when he burned chicken at a family barbecue than the night his pregnant wife Laci vanished, a witness testified yesterday.
Laci's cousin, Harvey Kemple, also said that Peterson gave conflicting stories to relatives regarding his whereabouts on the day of the tragic mom-to-be's disappearance.
"I saw more reaction out of him when he burned the God-darned chicken than when his wife went missing," Kemple said at the fertilizer salesman's double murder trial.
Kemple, a self-proclaimed grill guru, said he tried to give Peterson tips on how best to cook the chicken during a July 4 backyard barbecue just months before Laci's disappearance.
But Peterson, 31, wouldn't listen, and became visibly.......

Peterson Relative Says He Noticed Inconsistencies
Peterson Relative Says He Noticed Inconsistencies

EDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 9 - Statements made by Scott Peterson to relatives of his missing wife, Laci, were so inconsistent, one family member testified on Wednesday, that he secretly followed Mr. Peterson to a shopping mall and a golf course to see if something was amiss.
"I was very suspicious from that first night," said the relative, Harvey Kemple, in testimony at the murder trial of Mr. Peterson, who is accused of killing his wife and unborn son. "That's why I followed him to the mall, hanging back a bit to see what was happening."
Mr. Kemple, who is married to a cousin of Ms. Peterson's mother, said he was put off when Mr. Peterson told him that he had been playing golf on Dec. 24, 2002, the day Ms. Peterson disappeared, because Mr. Peterson had told Mr. Kemple's .......

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Scott Peterson assured some of his in-laws he was fishing the day his pregnant wife disappeared, although he told one member of his extended family and a neighbor that he had been golfing.
It's a contradiction prosecutors in Peterson's capital murder trial revisited several times Wednesday in their effort to assert that Peterson switched his alibi after saying he returned to an empty home on Christmas Eve day, 2002.
Peterson, 31, ultimately told authorities he went fishing alone on San Francisco Bay. ..........

Surveillance gets a satellite assist
By Richard Willing, USA TODAY
Just after Laci Peterson disappeared in Modesto, Calif., on Christmas Eve 2002, her husband, Scott, assured police that he had nothing to do with it.
But police were suspicious. Without Peterson's knowledge, they received court permission to attach global positioning system (GPS) tracking devices to the undersides of three vehicles he was known to drive. The devices, which use cell phone networks and signals from orbiting satellites to pinpoint land locations, indicated that twice in January 2003, Peterson drove to a San Francisco Bay marina near where the bodies of his .........

REDWOOD CITY -- Scott Peterson was more upset about burned barbecue chicken than he was about his wife's disappearance, an extended family member testified Wednesday during Peterson's double-murder trial. "I was so gol-darn mad because I saw more emotion out of him when he burnt the damn chicken than when his wife was missing," said Harvey Kemple, a construction worker married to a cousin of Laci Peterson's mother.
Kemple's testimony dominated a day in which the prosecution continued to cobble together a case against Peterson -- attempting to establish a timeline of what happened along the couple's quiet street on Dec. 24, 2002, and to highlight allegedly inconsistent statements Peterson made. ...........

Burnt chicken testimony at Peterson trial
Stacy Finz and Diana Walsh, Chronicle Staff Writers
Scott Peterson seemed more upset about burning his chicken than he did about his wife's disappearance, said a fiery construction worker who had jurors and observers erupting into laughter during the second week of the capital-murder case today.
Peterson, 31, is on trial in Redwood City for allegedly murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, and their unborn child.
Harvey Kemple, a lifelong Modesto resident and Laci Peterson's cousin by marriage, told reporters outside the courthouse that while other family members stood by the defendant in the beginning, he was suspicious of the fertilizer salesman from the start.
Inside the courtroom, Kemple glared at the defendant while testifying. Peterson, dressed in a suit and tie, looked away.
"I saw more reaction out of.........

LOL..... oh yeah!!
Right on.
I'd rather he be hung in effigy... Effigy, Ohio.
On one occasion, Peterson actually went to a shopping mall and sat in his car in the parking lot for 45 minutes; the other time he hit a local golf course.
I sure hope no one's delicate little sensibilities get offended by that!
For the record, mine didn't.
CD
I haven't golfed in a while. When I do, perhaps I'll just throw out the question: "Hey, any of you guys killed your wife lately?" just to see the reaction. These guys are giving golf a bad name.
Jihad! Dude! Your the last guy I thought I would ever be over here on the Peterson trial thread. ROTFL
Hey, very astute of you, Jackie. Sounds very likely.
And what if she had been intending to go shopping on the 24th? The whole point is, no matter what she planned to do on the 24th, she never got the chance to do it.
I don't see where Scott could say/imply that it was on a grocery trip on the 24th that she was abducted. No--he's STUCK with the dog-walk story, b/c there is independent evidence that the dog was found loose with his leash on. Ha ha--that's your story, Scott, and now you've got to stick with it.
He's very stoic," Peterson told The Post.
"He starts thinking about how to solve things. He doesn't go to pieces."
I feel... faint. I fear my delicate sensibilities have been injured by viewing that picture of hanged effigies....ooohhhhhh......XX
...and in the latest news at this hour, OJ Simpson has found the killer of Scott Peterson's wife, and Scott Peterson has found the killer of OJ Simpson's wife.
The two men were seen traveling together in a golf cart on Interstate 10...
OW! OW!
Is there no end to the brutal crushing of my delicate sensibilities, dammitt??
Nope, no end at all! :)
I was simply thinking that MG is just trying to show some truth to some of Snott's lies...seems like he's grasping at straws to do that.
I was watching President Reagan's Funeral proceedings, so will try to catch up today!
