Modesto police said Friday that Scott Peterson's lawyer tried to trick the jury into believing authorities conspired to hide a sympathetic witness when, in fact, police detailed the account in reports provided to the defense.

It was a blow in the short-term to the prosecution's double-murder case against Peterson because it looked like a detective intentionally deleted the witness account from his report after realizing it didn't fit with their theory that Peterson killed his pregnant wife.

But it may now work in the prosecution's favor as the trial trudges on into its second month, experts said Friday.

"I don't think the prosecution would be as sloppy as everybody thinks they are," Levenson said. "Basically, they can now say that Geragos' big attack was nothing but a whimper and he's trying to trick the jury because he doesn't have anything else."

I agree... He's capitalizing on LE's mistakes because that's all the offense he has. Where's the Purple car, the Brown/tan van, The Time for abduction ...???
