I'll be watching...if at all possible and report but I've seen Beth's report and feel other than the two envelopes and needs testing ...Geragos calls it possibly excupatory..and Jackie's beaming..I doubt anything new will be revealed.!
Approximately a week or maybe TEN DAYS ago, I watched a rerun of some show which featured Peterson. It was late on a Saturday night, I think. It may even have been Rita Cosby.
On that show, they had a few talking heads. Some were outside the courthouse. ONE OF THEM WAS A REPORTER, I THINK HIS NAME IS BOB OR JAMES SMITH... HE IS A KIND OF PORTLY GUY, WITH WHITE HAIR WHICH IS A BIT LONGISH... DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT GUY'S NAME?
That guy said, "I have a tip that there may be an issue about POSSIBLE FRESH WATER IN THE BODIES' TISSUES AND GERAGOS MAY BRING THAT UP." (Not an exact quote.) He said he was going to WATCH VERY CLOSELY FOR THIS.
Well, he apparently was right.
I have a question for all of you: If "Bob" or "James" (or whatever that reporter's name is) had heard about this a week to ten days ago, how can it be "newly discovered" or even NEW in any way?
Conclusion: This is just another HO-HUM piece of end-of-the-week bullsh** by Geragos--nothing to get excited about. I have a strong feeling that I am the last one here to figure this out, but I just wanted to express it anyway!
Hey, here's a thought. Suppose he poured cement powder on her lower body (as per rumors we've heard of cement on lower body), and put her in plastic, and added WATER (that would be FRESH water) and left her lying there so it could set?
Might that not cause some fresh water to get into her tissues?
Or suppose he INJECTED wet cement (which would contain fresh water) into her body? I know that sounds gross, but we have also heard rumors to that effect.
I think this whole fresh water thing is going nowhere.
It almost sounds like whatever this 'new' info is, that it may have come from the prosecution from the wording of the article above.
Now I thought Peterson family was just announcing in the last couple of weeks, that they had run out of $ to pay Geragos. Wonder if this has anything to do with this late in the trial 'revelation'?
I just hope it goes nowhere speedily, rather than dragging on and ticking the jury off. Because Geragos will find a way to make the jury think it's the prosecution's fault, as he has apparently done with other delays.
Yes, that's a good one. I saw that one, with Bill Kurtis!
This was something on Fox, I'm pretty sure.
I think this "new" b.s. Geragos is throwing out is not NEW at all, but was simply timed to give the usual Thursday punch, and also to inconvenience Amber Frey if possible.
I also think that maybe Amber has an August vacation planned, or perhaps other plans, and that they carefully scheduled her testimony so as to not interfere with whatever she might have planned. And I am BETTING that if Geragos knows this, he will do everything possible to cause her plans (if any) to get derailed.
And IMO--judging from prior experience with situations like this--you can make book on the fact that defense shills or their friends or maybe just people sympathetic to Peterson will actually do whatever they can this weekend to rattle Amber. Such things have often been done in court cases before.
Fox is reporting that the Prosecution just learned of the new evidence and have turned it over to "forensics".
BBL..sw
Still wondering if the Peterson defense $ problem has something to do with this, or has some sympathetic idiot given the Petersons a loan to pay Geragos and the rest of the defense crew? Or did they just need xtra $ for defense to hire more investigators?
LOL, we don't see it, because we are not looking at it through Geragos' "fraud-colored glasses".
I think his rather lame theory is going to be that Laci must've somehow been in a lake or a river, or some body of fresh water, see, or perhaps in a stagnant "freshwater" drainage canal that runs (coincidentally) right down by the trailer park where the Renfrows and their tan van live. And, see, those satanic-redneck-gypsy-alquaeda-whatever killers left the poor lady rotting in the stagnant drainage ditch, but, see, when they heard her doofus husband told everyone he was on the Bay that day, they just loaded up the putrid, rotting corpse (sorry--her beautiful soul is all that counts now) and rushed out and dumped it in the Bay.
I mean, c'MONNNNNNNNN, it's just as plain as day that this freshwater is gonna get Scott of the hook, isn't it??
That's right Annie. I'm not making any plans for the trial to be over by Tuesday. IF it were REALLY exculpatory, and it came from the Prosecution, then the Prosecution would have HAD it tested, and CONFIRMED and presented it to the court THEMSELVES.
No, lol, I think some unsympathetic citizens gave them the money to continue on with this brilliant defense! And the aforementioned unsympathetic citizens are the people of Stanislaus County! IOW, I believe those judges granted funds to Scott when Geragos applied for them the other day.
I do not mean to insult the people of Stanislaus County. It's not their fault that public money is now being used in Scott's defense.
God Almighty, the fresh water in the tissues bit is OLD news. We heard that before and there was a very reasonable forensic explanation.
I too don't see how fresh water can CLEAR Snott. Laci's body was in San Fran Bay for nearly 4 months. It was in the Bay in the exact area he had his boat. Her scent ended at the end of a pier.
added...just let me know when you want off it.... ;o)
see ya....
I think the money problem does have some relevance. The Defense CANNOT afford any more Experts and they need them. I will be ready for the trial to go ahead on Tuesday.
Give it time, but wonder what the discovery evidence turned over today demanded Geragos to get a hold on the trial for testing the exculpatory evidence until at least Tuesday next week?
"But Geragos has the Judge possibly believing that the new discovery evidence could benefit Scott?
I agree, I think Geragos is looking for some kind of extended time factors here. 100 witness and winding down to then, next let the defense put their best shot on... Hummmmm....
LOL......
