>>Peterson told police in the taped interview that on the morning of Dec. 24, he and his wife watched the Martha Stewart show in which Stewart talks about meringues. Brocchini reviewed a tape of the show from that day and found no mention of meringues, indicating that Peterson was lying and suggesting that the show on meringues actually aired the day before.
But during opening statements, Peterson attorney Mark Geragos took much pleasure out of showing a video of Martha Stewart mentioning meringues on the very show Peterson said they'd watched.
On Tuesday, Brocchini acknowledged to prosecutor Rick Distaso that he'd missed the reference to meringues, which was mentioned only once in the Dec. 24 show, but eight times on the Dec. 23 show. <<
BINGO!!!!

The gun:
"Lead Det. Al Brocchini found a Llama 22-caliber handgun in the glove compartment of Peterson's Ford F-150 pickup truck. Peterson told the cops he had been pheasant-hunting about a month before, bu the gun was "dry-fired," then it "misfired again," so he put it in the glove compartment and forgot about it.
Famed forensic pathologist and ballistic expert Robert H. Goldberg found the gun testimony fascinating. "They wouldn't go to the trouble and expense of bringing in a firearms expert unless they had some physical proof," he tells the GLOBE. "There could be blood or gunshot evidence we haven't heard about yet."
Goldberg says the prosecutor's firearms witness will be able to tell if the gun is broken like Peterson said it was. "If the gun can be fired, the Scott is caught in a lie." he notes. "And if not why bring in this witness?"
Ressler concludes "If Scott Peterson is innocent he's certainly made some odd statement." ""
