"I would be interested to hear he's had a friend for 15 years."

Geez.... sure is a lot of words to ask for a magazine article....See People's Magazine last month regarding one 15 year friendship;ABBA IMANI . Somehow that won't satisfy you, I Feel sure. There is another reference to the same friendship in a thread on here. I ran across it looking for info. bout two weeks ago. I'ts NOT NEW info. You missed it "you look it up" I'm busy digging....;-)

I thought you said you read more and posted less. Maybe I'm mistaken, it could have been another.......;-0)

Sp has many poblems but as far as I can tell at this point his past is not one of them. STILL LOOKING THOUGH!....;-0)

I have just,just this minute, received info. from another, that there are old girlfriends that might be character witnesses for Scott....UNCONFIRMED AS YET...but if correct PAST character could be a very strong part of Sp's defense.

STOCK, there may be old girlfriends out there who say good things about Scott. But I think Gergi will think long and hard b/f he opens up the "character" Pandora's box.

This business of calling character witnesses is a two-edged sword for a defendant, and can really, really backfire. Once the defendant opens the door to it by bringing in witnesses' testimony to his character, this leaves the prosecution an opening to do likewise.

If the defendant DOESN'T present character witnesses, then the prosecution is essentially muzzled, as to the subject of the defendant's general character.

I can see one of those women on the witness stand now: she testifies, say, that Scott was always an attentive boyfriend, that he was morally upright, etc. Then on cross-examination, the prosecutor says, "Would it surprise you to learn that Mr. Peterson was misrepresenting himself to a woman as unmarried, when in fact he was not only married, but had a child whose birth was imminent?" And any other LITTLE dishonesties of Scott could all be brought up as well, and of course some of them would end up being blown out of proportion.

JMO, but I don't think Scott's going to call character witnesses unless it is as a last resort.

See People's Magazine last month regarding one 15 year friendship;ABBA IMANI .

What did People's Magazine actually say about Scott's and Abba Imani's relationship?

From what I found he was Scott's employer.

Did Scott wait table for him for 15 years?

RUSTY DORNIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): An all-American couple. Family and friends once said Scott and Laci Peterson seemed meant for each other. They met here at the Pacific Cafe in Morro Bay in 1995, where Scott was waiting tables. Two years later, they were married.

Cafe owner Abba Imani says their wedding was out of a storybook.

ABBA IMANI, FORMER EMPLOYER: It was a gorgeous day in (UNINTELLIGIBLE) beach, outdoor wedding. Perfect, everything was just right. And a nice couple. They were, like, perfect for each other.
