Judge tells Peterson jury to keep quiet
REDWOOD CITY -- The judge in the Scott Peterson double-murder trial Monday warned all of the trial participants not to talk about the case to the media.
Judge Alfred Delucchi was responding to stories that surfaced at the end of last week, when a representative of the Modesto Police Department publicly defended Detective Al Brocchini, who has been the subject of harsh criticism by Peterson's lawyer Mark Geragos during his time on the witness stand.
"This has to stop. Go tell the chief he's going to have to sit on his people," Delucchi told a Modesto police captain. .........

MONDAY
Judge Alfred Delucchi scolded Modesto police Monday.
Lead defense attorney Mark Geragos continued his quest to show that Modesto police zeroed in on his client, Scott Peterson, while ignoring other credible leads that poured in after 27-year-old Laci Peterson was reported missing.
First Geragos pointed to Kim McGregor, a neighbor who admitted to police that she stole a video camera, several jackets and Laci Peterson's Social Security card from the Petersons' Covena Avenue home.
He also suggested that Amber Frey, Scott Peterson's former girlfriend, held back some taped phone calls from authorities after agreeing to secretly record her conversations with Scott.
The suggestions came during a wide-ranging cross-examination of Detective Al Brocchini, who took the witness stand for a fourth day.
Also, Superior Court Judge Alfred Delucchi released dozens ........

REDWOOD CITY -- Kim McGregor appeared to be infatuated with Scott Peterson, and she robbed his home after his wife disappeared.
Monday, Peterson's defense team pointed to the Peterson neighbor as an indication that police ignored other suspects in the missing-person case that turned into a double homicide.
Lead attorney Mark Geragos also suggested that Peterson's former girlfriend, Amber Frey -- after she agreed to secretly record her conversations with Peterson -- did not reveal some of the calls.
The questioning about McGregor and Frey came as Geragos cross-examined Modesto police Detective Al Brocchini for a third day. The defense scored a blow toward the end of last week when Brocchini admitted that he "excised" a key piece of information from a police report.
Sgt. Ed Steele came to Brocchini's defense Friday in an interview with The Associated Press, violating a gag order in the case. This led to a warning -- but no sanctions -- from Superior Court Judge Alfred Delucchi to the Police Department.
Delucchi reminded all of the participants that the order issued by Stanislaus County Judge Al Girolami before the trial began forbids not only the attorneys and police from commenting on the case but also any witnesses who have been subpoenaed, including family members of either Scott or Laci Peterson. The judge said that while he did not want to be a "policeman," he would not hesitate to use his authority to prevent anyone involved in the trial from talking to the media.

It is a little worrisome IF TRUE. But the way things have gone with so much false info through Catherine Crier and Abrams etc. attempting to get ratings, I am going to hold off Judgement till I find out for sure.
I find the statements how great Geragos is just utter nonsense. Being nasty and screaming at a witness to look at him does not reveal a great lawyer. No wonder Michael Jackson fired him.
Why would anyone have Justin on a show? The guy is a moron or Scott wannabe. His spin on what he meant by pregnant women being crazy was stupid.
Listen to this: This is the instructions given to Justin by Judge Delucchi when he was discharged: "Before and within Ninety days of your discharge as a juror in this matter, you must not request, accept, agree to accept or discuss with any person receiving or accepting any payment or benefit in consideration for supplying any information concerning this trial!! NOW HOW CLEAR COULD IT BE. ARREST HIM ALREADY!!
So do I Dante. I think Geragos behaves like a clown.
HEADING OUT OF THIS OFFICE. See ya when I get home.
according to Oreilly Amber is the big hope for the prosecution....this is the thread about Snott getting his chicken choked by his scorned masseuse !!
Yes, they could put him in the cell next to Scott. Or... with Scott.
Chicken, hell! I was talking about his NECK.
I ran across this story I thought you might like to read it.
Subj: Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn!
Subject: The curtain rods
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything, cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.
Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home, including the curtain rods.
Hope we're not going to have to endure pictures of a Simpson and Peterson tee time!
I would be willing to bet she might continue the choking below the belt .... if there was anything attached to that neck when she was done !
cute story thanks ! I guess the moral of the story is to buy your own curtains

Or never underestimate the value of pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay...
Well, he's probably a do-it-yourselfer at the moment!
Juzcuz, Juzcuz, that story is an absolute CLASSIC!
I absolutely CAN'T WAIT to tell that story to those of my friends who have been divorced!!!!
Note to Scott: don't p*ss OJ off. We don't care how good a shape you're in.
Hey, has anyone else read the thread on Websleuths that says Kim McGregor is currently in JAIL?? And on the thread there's an excerpted article that claims she was found guilty (or pled guilty) to fraudulently using credit cards related to LACI PETERSON--or it may have actually BEEN Laci Peterson's credit cards--to rent a hotel room somewhere!
The guilty finding was in Nov. 2003. It was obvious from the article, IIRC, that the credit cards referred to would have been something taken during her famous Jan. 2003 break-in of the deceased Laci's home.
LOL probably choked that sucker to death himself !!!
I hate to tell you , but this just says that he can not recieve payment. It doesn't mean he can't flap his jaws everywhere.
