A beaver in Modesto? I lived in California almost all of my life, and the first beaver that I had ever seen in the wild didn't occur until I moved to the east coast. The only wildlife I have seen in Modesto was a skunk, which a second cousin of mine promptly shot.
Just doesn't seem like beaver country.
Snip IT:
"After being dismissed, he sharply criticized the prosecution's case to date, calling the testimony of Laci Peterson's yoga teacher "a joke" and saying prosecutor Rick Distaso isn't laying out a clear explanation for how he believes Peterson murdered his wife and unborn son.
"I'm not getting a story out of him," Fal- coner said. "Sometimes you're sitting there left going, 'What was that for? Why was that person there?' ... So far I'm just falling asleep."
Falconer said he would not vote to convict Peterson of murdering his wife, Laci, and unborn son, Conner, based on testimony so far presented.
"He'd be innocent," Falconer said. "The prosecution hasn't given us any reason to believe otherwise.""
I listened to Falconer on KCBS.com and "For the Record" with Greta, and I have several questions on this guy, and notions... Keeps saying, "us"....speaks alot in third person!
LOL... well, strange animals do show at odd places.... Just think, in Palo Alto, they keep reporting mountain lion sightings....
One of my neighbors, who had listened pretty much to the entire press conference, felt a number of his statements sounded familiar.
Yesterday, on Bill O'Reilly they had the tape of Justin talking to Laci's brother and it was determined that he had used the word "lose" not news and apparently Justin later lied about it.
Once again, free speech has removed all doubt as to Justin Falconers abilities. Scary thought number one of juror number five, he's supposed to be an airport screener? The only thing that stands between a terrorist and an airplane is this goofus?
JF: Hey, Mohammad. I notice several suspicious devices on the xray and the dog has alerted for explosives.
Mo: Yes, my wife will be flying without me today and she is pregnant.
JF: I understand. Go on.
The Bay Area has always been Mountain Lion country. A few years back, a jogger at a park along the American River in Sacramento was taken down by one. When I lived in Antioch, I used to go walking up at Black Diamond Mines- and there were cautions about them there.
Without irrigation, the Modesto area is awfully dry and without commercial orchards, not very wooded. There is a river there, but I've never seen any beaver in it. Could be wrong, but it seems a really odd place for them to turn up.
Maybe they were on the verge to axe him? Who knows!!... He reminds me of the bully kid on the block!
>>When I lived in Antioch, I used to go walking up at Black Diamond Mines- and there were cautions about them there.<<
I live in Antioch, and right now we have a LOT of coyotes. Two years ago one tried to attack my golden retriever while I was walking her on the SIDEWALK on Hillcrest Ave.
Yeah, like on the Peterson jury, for instance...! I'm glad they bounced that flake. Watched an interview on Fox this morning, and if this is what we rely upon for justice in this country, we're in deeeeeep trouble!
Sounds like their population is way up.
I miss Antioch very much right now. Every July 4th, I'd go down to the Wallace Arms and quaff a few pints, then go to the mob scene at the Riverview Lodge. I'd always leave just before the grand finale- which I'd still see anyway when walking back to the car. The traffic is awful getting out of there on the 4th. :-)
>>Geragos demanded angerly at the detective, why aren't you looking at me when I am asking you questions? .. <<
...and the judge told the Detctive-who was looking at the jury while testifyiny-,that he could look where-ever he wanted.
CTV forum had the purported transcript of the exchange, noting both Brent and #5 said "in the news", referring to cameras won't publish Brent's picture as he is with a juror. I have no way to know the truth of this...The judge had not yet seen the tape when this was said...
The juror was much more"reasoned" the more he was interviewed. He rationalized every action, lie, and reaction of Scott and said the prosecution made HUGE mistakes....
His statement about pregnant women being crazy was only brought up by interviewers, not the juror last night. He's on again this morning...Look for him on GMA or Today!...
I think the judge had looked him over and decided he was too friendly around the courtroom....Geragos weeps...;)
The CNN reporter just noted that the juror downplayed his behavior. She had noticed the trial artist shooing him away after he wanted to see the "artwork" and he did speak to Geragos. Perhaps it was a greeting but it is not to be done.
