12:59 p.m. CDT May 29, 2003

CHICAGO -- MSNBC reporter Dan Abrams said Thursday that he saw the autopsy photos of Laci Peterson and her unborn child, and the baby had a piece of plastic wrapped around his neck when the body was found.

It appeared to be a plastic noose around Conner's neck, Abrams said. A significant cut was also found on the baby's body, as well.

The defense has claimed that some sort of Satanic ritual may have been performed on Laci and the baby.

Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Scott Peterson's former girlfriend Amber Frey, spoke on MSNBC Thursday morning and said that if the defense has a theory about another suspect, they should provide it to the prosecution. Allred said they should "put up or shut up." Allred also reminded viewers that the autopsy has not been released to the media and that the defense may have leaked it to the media to help their case.

Allred said she has her opinions, but it will be up to the jury to decide Peterson's guilt or innocence. She also said Frey has not taken a position on whether Peterson is guilty.

Abrams said he obtained the information from a portion of a follow-up coroner's report on Friday that was released to both the defense and prosecution.
