Okay, you guys, try to remember what this guy's name is! Someone needs to e-mail the prosecution about him!
All this info is awesome!
Not so awesome is this thought: doesn't it sound like the person who beat Laci was almost... aiming at the baby?!?
Greta and Geragos: fellow travelers.
No--believe it or not, I'm pretty sure coffin birth means the baby actually gets forced out (gases) through the birth canal.
And it's almost like the person who disposed of Laci's body had heard of it, too, considering that they taped up her crotch area and left her pants on her.
Hey--what you said about meconium! That it can be expelled into the amniotic fluid due to some sort of stress. I've heard that: I've heard that if they find meconium in a sample of amniotic fluid (during labor), that that is a good reason to do a Caesarian right then. Fetal distress.
Now, we have heard for the first time that the ribs may have been broken b/c she was beaten. Obviously if she was beaten, it was... brutal... so might that not have caused some change in the baby? Might that not have caused fetal distress? But the fact that the meconium was right where it should be argues AGAINST there having been fetal distress...?
Now I'm really confusing myself... Oh, well, I have to keep reminding myself how I FELL flat on my back during each of my pregnancies. (One time I tripped on a wet floor in a public building... the other time I stupidly ran into a flock of birds to make them fly away to impress my small child, and I slipped on mud. DUHHHHHHHH!) And when I would ask the doctor about these unfortunate incidents, he told me, the baby is VERY well-protected in there. Neither incident caused any problems.
SO I guess she could suffer a fair amount of trauma before it finally affected the poor baby...
Good grief, CO, have a whirlpool handy!
Amazing story! Some thief was disappointed when they returned to that spot. Good for you!
Sure it was on her wrist--right next to the Geneva watch that she wore habitually.
Laci liked to go up to people with multiple watches on and say, "Wanna buy a watch?"
That's a perfectly plausible theory about how her ribs may have been broken. But now we hear that that Dr. DiMaio, who apparently examined the bodies, has the opinion that the broken ribs came while she was still alive! I don't know how he could know this, but there are many things a forensic doctor can tell about a body which I would of course miss completely!
I'm excited about hearing that he said that, b/c to me it means MAYBE we finally have a clue as to how she was killed!
That is PATHETIC!! You expressed it exactly: court was cancelled so that big-nosed gargoyle could go MUG IT UP!
Exactly--why not have the other lawyer(s) do the work that day?
And oh, we're all so impressed that Geragos went to the funeral for a member of a Hollywood family...NOT.
Yeah, well, when you are faced with the knotty problem of disposing of a body which is stiffened by rigor mortis (I hate it when that happens), you might have to cut or break a few limbs off...
Ever tried Blackend Shrimp--
I made it tonight... WONDERFUL.. It Starts with Shrimp Butterflied or split in half, leaving tails, and browning in browned butter, with onions, etc....
Good point--rigor mortis is certainly a gradual process! (How else would people ever hide bodies, if it wasn't??)
You never have to face rigor mortis with Blackened Shrimp..
Oh, so it has to be a DEAD body in the boat for the demo, according to Geragos?? Well, didn't Geragos just go to a FUNERAL?
PS The more pudgy little Justin #5 talks on TV, the more ideas he's giving the prosecution! I distinctly remember the little loser saying he didn't think the body could fit... so just in case any other jurors had that flaky idea, the prosecution has proved that it COULD fit!
That's right: "at peace". It is OFTEN said of the DEAD!
And add to that his bizarre thank-you poster for the volunteers (paraphrasing):"I tell Laci about how you are searching... early this morning I felt she could hear me... she thanks you."
If THAT doesn't sound like he's speaking of someone who's dead, I don't know what does! And he wrote that in early January!
Justin is round like a ball. A pregnant woman is round like a ball. Maybe Justin would like to volunteer to be the demo?
