I know this has nothing to do with the case specifically, but couldn't the airport find a light duty job for this guy? It says he's on "disability", but he can obviously get to court and sit on his tail for long periods of time. Couldn't he watch the little X-ray monitor?

Hadn't heard about the pawn ticket until now. Is there another story behind it? Why was the name of the thumbprint's owner witheld?

[RGSpincich]

His disability may be above the neck.

[Carolinamom]

Will that talkative juror be dismissed? He should be. Any info on the possibility?

[snarkytart]

I thought the same thing. The man is only in his late twenties/early thirties and he is out on disability.

I follow this case and the same juror who approached Brent Rocha has been acting a tad bit inappropriately in the courtroom as well.
One day he walked by Scott Peterson and said, "Whats Up" and nodded.

[runningbear]

not sure.. I guess more will come out Monday?

[runningbear]

ROFL...... bahahahaha...
oh my, I just went into the gutter!!!!

[runningbear]

No info until next week according to KCBS...

[The Bandit]

Welp, I guess this would be a big deal if he has tried to sale the stuff since her disaperance, other wise this revelation does nothing for me....

[Tijeras_Slim]

Fascinating...

Your guess on whether the "talkative juror" will be dismissed is as good as anyone elses. Even the talking head experts don't agree.

Yesterday on Catherine Crier's CourtTV show, the general conversation was that this guy was obviously a Geragos fan because he had already been seen smiling at Geragos. Crier's guests seemed to think the prosecution would want him off the jury.

This morning on FOXNews, an "expert" opined that this guy was sympathetic, "friendly", to Laci's brother, witnessed by the brother's reaction to what he said, and that Geragos might want him off the jury.

So..........we don't know what the two sides will argue on keeping or dismissing this juror, or what the judge will decide. (I bet idiot Ito would keep him.)

But if I were the prosecution, I wouldn't want a juror this dumb, this prone to ignoring the judge's orders, to be in that jury room.

[Howlin]

This guy has GOT to go.

Is there a live thread up on Bush and McCain in Washington state? Fort Lewis. Them coming in to the hangar was FABULOUS!!! As was the hug....as the image of John Kerrey's heart sinking.

[uvular]

Wouldn't Sharon Rocha's wrongful death suit include the house? Scott did look into trying to sell that, didn't he?

To think he can profit from a book, movie, etc., really sucks, but that's the law...

Scott Peterson accompanied her the second time, and she seemed agitated when her husband -- in apparent affection -- tried to rub her stomach, said Victoria Brooks, who owns Brooks Pawn and Jewelry with her husband.

"It seemed like she did not want him to be rubbing her belly at that time," Brooks said of the Dec. 14, 2002, visit. "She seemed hesitant toward him."

Rubbing the belly scene- Gives me the creeps. Just think the week before (Dec. 9?) he was telling Amber how he doesn't want to have his own children. Similarly, Laci told her yoga instructor that Scott wasn't interested in his child.

"One of the doctors monitoring Laci's pregnancy testified Thursday that Laci called the Hera Clinic on Nov. 6, 2002, complaining about becoming dizzy when she walked."

"I told her to not exercise or to do it later in the day when she had eaten or been more hydrated," Dr. Tina Edraki told prosecutor David Harris."

The doctor said Laci called the clinic again on Nov. 8.

"She complained of shortness of breath when walking but she didn't pass out," Edraki said."

Geragos used the testimony to his client's advantage. "You told her not to walk and she called later saying she was out of breath again. What does that tell you? She didn't listen, did she?" Geragos asked the doctor on cross-examination.

"No," Edraki replied.
From this article

I would hope, which I bet they did, that the prosecution cross examined Dr. Edraki and asked her if she knew what time of day Laci had been walking the second time she called. Since the doctor told her to either not to exercise or wait until later.

The media only likes to report what will make a sensational statement.
