Thanks MEG for the link. It is a very good analysis of why Scott probably commited these murders.
I have a couple of questions about some of what was written though.
From Article:"Yet the blouse she was sporting that night was discovered the next day by investigators on her bedroom floor. Baker cogently argues that the physical “evidence” the experts deny exists is buried within this “otherwise negligible detail”--that Laci was not wearing her shirt when searchers fished her out of the bay. Why is this one tidbit so damning? Because it suggests an approximate time and method. Because it suggests that Scott slithered up behind his wife and strangled her while she was pulling her top up over her head. Because it suggests that Laci, swallowing mouthfuls of fabric, fought for her very life--and it was this pitched battle that produced those cuts and abrasions on Scott’s hands for which no account is rendered. Death by asphyxiation also explains why little or no blood pervaded the scene.
I thought the top/blouse was found in the hamper. Also I thought that I read no cuts or abrasions were found on Scott. (Even thought he said they would probably find blood in his truck cause he always cuts himself)
Did you ever get those transcripts that you were asking liz4404 about. Exactly what Amy said in her testimony about the clothing Laci was wearing and what she later found in the house?
It appears that no one was careful, or suspicious, enough to take a good, hard, look at Scott's hands, on the evening of the 24th.
But he said later that he had cut his knuckle that day of the disappearance, while reaching into his toolbox. We have to wonder why on earth he would make such a gratuitous admission if he had not had a cut on his hand which he'd felt the need to explain.
Interesting that this article says the top was found on the floor. I had never heard that. I think maybe the author just made an error. Either way, in the hamper, or on the floor, sounds incriminating to me, considering that it was part of an outfit the dead person was wearing, and the rest of the outfit was on her body, but not the blouse. As for "on the floor", for some reason thinking that that was where it was found makes the find sound even more incriminating.
I should read more carefully before I say I agree with ALL in an article..The blouse was in the hamper on the 24th,later found on the Feb search balled up in a drawer...and there was no testimony about Scott having cuts visable...I don't think they photographed his hands on the night of the 24th..Scott put out the word about always cutting his hands...
Amy's testimony is very shaky...and I am trying hard to review the testimony and discern what pictures they were discussing....She could only say similar, right color and capri length that she wore on the 23rd to the salon and then washed up in...She eliminated two in pictures because of color or length/style.Geragos got her going..and she said yes when asked if she thought she had found the whole outfit on the Feb18th search..She did not recall the stitching at the bottom or a crease...but the length and color she did of the pants Laci was wearing..
The other poster is still pushing his view and I have yet to rebut because quoting a small excerpt of testimony isn't enough to clarify it.
