Don't worry, CO, every time Justin opens his rather ignorant little mouth, he gives the prosecution some ideas. I believe they did this demonstration with the pregnant woman BECAUSE of what Justin said on TV--that he "didn't know how she would fit in the boat."
Well, now the jury knows that she WOULD fit in the boat.
I heard that in the testimony, supposedly Scott told Mansfield (CA D.O.J. investigator) that he did often wash his own clothes, b/c he would get fertilizer on them.
Yep, they're trying to cover that base.
Very good thought, about why he covered TWO days with his fishing license. He knew he'd be working at night, and midnight could come and go before he was finished!
I don't think they'll be allowed to use a body language expert, but they WILL be allowed to show the interviews!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Caesarian right then. Fetal distress.

I guess we need a Dr. or a Nurse.. Isn't that TOXIC SHOCK.. or Toxemia.??? Eggs-perts thought I had that...but I didn't....
LOL!! That's right, shrimp don't have these complications!
Hey, I used to have some pet shrimp. Of course, they weren't the yummy kind we eat. They were called brine shrimp. Tiny. I had them in a fish bowl in my dorm room. Unfortunately there were also two tiny crabs in the water. (One, about an inch big, the other, about half an inch.)
Imagine my horror when I saw the bigger crab stuff the shrimp, one by one, into his mouth! Then, a day later, the smaller crab was gone... by this time, I was tired of the carnage and dumped the remaining crab back into the bayou.
Darn! Have you ever heard of anything like this being allowed in court?
I can't believe that this pea braiin is STILL getting air time. Mostly from Greta however and I think we know WHY she would want him.
I think that is toxemia. Very dangerous!
But fetal distress can occur for any of a whole variety of reasons (such as... the mother is in the process of being murdered). Sometimes, for example, there's that situation where the umbilical cord gets crimped or folded or something, cutting off the baby's oxygen... something like that.
We have at least two (actually I think there are more) RN's on here: Canadian Outrage, and Velveeta.
No, but at least we can take comfort in the fact that the jurors will also be noticing his mannerisms. I think it's just human nature to get a "feel" for someone's attitude, by watching them while they are talking. I think at least some of the jurors are going to feel doubtful of Scott, the same way some of us do when we see his mannerisms in those videos. Such as his looking away when speaking. That really looks bad.
He should never have given those interviews. He is a total fool for doing that.
In that case, I'm glad I've missed Greta lately. I hope the IRS starts watching Justin, who is probably getting paid a little tidbit for each of his interviews.
You know, I know, and most everyone else believes that he murdered Laci and her baby. But, is 'believing' this enough to convict him?
I never thought that, but believe me, I am very ignorant on the ins and outs of medical conditions! We need to ask CO or Vel.
It will be, if the jury believes it.
Here's what I've been doing: After reading about the various facts that have been proven so far, and also including info from sources I believe to be reliable, I then have tried to figure a way someone OTHER than Scott may have killed Laci.
When would it have happened?
Where? It must've been in or close to her home, b/c her car never left the driveway, and was found there when he got home. And her keys were in her purse. No one drove the car that day. Or, if Laci did drive that day, she made it home safely.
Why did the killer take her dead body 90 miles away?
If they did put her in the Bay to "frame Scott", then how did they know Scott had been there that day? How early was it really widely reported that he had said he was there? In the early reports, did they really give a specific area where Scott said he'd been? I don't think so.
Why would anyone who was a stranger to her not simply walk (or run) away, the way almost all other murderers do when they kill a stranger in a crime of opportunity? It's much less risky for the killer that way--UNLESS the killer is someone the police know was an associate of the dead person.
Only 12 minutes available--if it really happened "as she walked the dog". How far away from home could this tired pregnant woman, who was having dizziness, trouble walking, etc., have really gotten in such a short time? And there were people all over Covena during the specified time.
Okay, if it didn't happen in the 12 minutes btw Scott's leaving and the dog's being found, then we could say she maybe walked the dog later, and got abducted/killed later?
Okay, but if it happened that way--if she was ripped away from her dog later than 10:18, then how did the dog end up back in the closed yard, wearing his leash? B/C that's how Scott says he found him.
If the abduction didn't happen in those 12 minutes, then what IS the explanation for their dog's being wandering out there with his leash on?
Suppose the dog had his leash on for whatever reason, got out, and got put back in, and Laci never walked him? But instead, suppose Laci just went out walking w/o the dog, later in the day? So she is abducted wearing the black pants/white shirt which Scott says she wore on the 24th, but her body turns up wearing TAN pants and NO shirt? And the shirt is found wadded up in a drawer? Does this mean Laci went out walking with no shirt??
And if they grabbed her, how is it that this "spitfire" (that's Geragos' assessment of her) was grabbed, but didn't scream, leave drag marks... how come no one heard screeching tires? How come no one saw it happen? It was daytime and most people were off work that day. And how come she'd have been out walking alone w/o her cellphone, pepper spray, and KEYS???
They were worried about bums going down their street, but she'd have gone out walking w/o her keys, meaning she'd have left a door open? Who in their right mind would do that, if they were worried about bums in their neighborhood?
Seriously, if you go over the possibilities, you'll be amazed at the results. I know I was.
unless the phases of the moon are different on the west coast here in florida we usually have a full moon near the middle of the month and near the end of month..24th would not be its fullest but be a good portion of it
its gruesome to think about but funeral parlor have to break the arms at the elbow to lay the across the chest like they do
Really?? Ewwwwww!!
And on here someone said it's easier to break the bones when the person is dead?
Well, it was you, wasn't it, that gave us the time frame in which rigor mortis sets in? That 5 hours of gradual stiffening leaves plenty of time for someone to get rid of the body!
AHA!!! Fiesti, that gives me an idea! You did say 5 hours, didn't you? It doesn't seem likely to me that he'd have sat up quietly till she'd been asleep for several hours, then have attacked her and killed her. Why would he wait? If he wanted her to be asleep when he attacked her, then surely he wouldn't have had to wait that long... surely she went to bed well b/f midnight. She was tired all the time!
So that means he probably killed her b/f midnight. (Why wait?) So that means that he'd have had to get it all done in the next 5 hours. So, it must've been pretty well done at least a little before 5 a.m.
UNLESS he somehow talked her into going driving in his truck, and killed her at the end of the "drive". That's not likely b/c the police have said they believe she was killed in the house.
