The defense is trying to spin this as a boost to its theory that a satanic cult did the gruesome deed. After all, they opine, only cultists under the spell of Satan could carry out such a vicious act.

Few little problems though. Peterson's team better hope and pray (to Satan perhaps?) that the tape around the child's neck cannot be traced to Scott. And if they expect a jury to believe that satanic ritual was involved in the killing, they better be able to find an expert who can show the jury a documented satanic ritual that includes the ritual killing of a pregnant woman and her child.

Fox is saying, per Geraldo, that it is really nylon and twine around the neck.
