Pending hearing dates:
"Judge Girolami denied a request from the parties to consolidate the June 3, 3002 hearing scheduled in Dept. 5 with the hearing on June 6, 2003 scheduled in Dept. 2. The June 3, 2003 date remains on calendar in Dept. 5.
On June 6, 2003 Judge Girolami will also hear arguments on the wiretap In Camera hearing. The judge set the date of May 30, 2003 for Points and Authorities from the defense and June 4, 2003 for Points and Authorities from the District Attorney.

And this is why during the Chris Matthews, Hardball, that Dan Abrams was hearing so much music in the news break story he was giving.

MORE ON THE PETERSON CASE
------------------------------
Prosecutors countered Thursday's leak of information about Conner Peterson's dead body by asking a judge to release the full autopsy reports on the baby boy and his mother, Laci.
Thursday night, an official with the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department confirmed that the leaked information came from Conner's autopsy report.
MSNBC reported Thursday morning that it had obtained a "a portion of the coroner's report on the autopsy on the fetus."
The document states that the fetus was found with 11/2 loops of plastic tape around its neck and had a significant cut on its torso, a cut inflicted after death, MSNBC reported.
The details could suggest that Conner died separately from his mother, who was eight months pregnant when family members reported her missing Christmas Eve from her Modesto home. Her husband, Scott, has been charged with two counts of murder.
"The information being leaked has clearly been skewed in favor of the defense," the Stanislaus County district attorney's office declared in a court filing within hours of the leak. "The people cannot see why the autopsy documents should not be released."
District Attorney James Brazelton's position marked a dramatic reversal from his previous opposition, restated earlier this week, to unsealing the reports.

Scotty would've been better off with a public defender.

One of the early reports published back in April when the bodies were discovered mentioned that the water level had been very low in the bay/shipping channel. The article went on to say that it's possible the bodies could have been hit by ship propellers (the cut on the baby, missing parts on Laci) and the resulting underwater turbulence could have dragged the bodies about, therefore picking up debris and causing further injury. This makes sense to me, but I haven't seen this theory mentioned again in recent reports. I guess the grisly factor wasn't high enough. Anyone else recall reading this?

I think so, but now it is a circus parade with Geragos... (understanding his reasoning, but don't really agree with his tactics at all...;o))

That is my understanding as well, f. Thank you for bringing that up...it's more logical to me than the alternative.
ok...off to begin the day...be back later.

"The information being leaked has clearly been skewed in favor of the defense," the Stanislaus County district attorney's office declared in a court filing within hours of the leak. "The people cannot see why the autopsy documents should not be released." Geraldo says, according to other posters, that the defense tactics have worked because now the prosecution is reacting to them? Evidently Geragos was hired to be a public pain in the ass. That still leaves SP without a defense.
By the end of yesterday, experts and reports from "reliable" sources had the bodies being cut up while drifting in the Bay and entangled in existing Bay debris. A far cry from the defense contention of a satanic cult ritual.
Once again the media laps up the defense morning spin only to regurgitate it later in the day as something wholly unpalatable.

I'm sorry, but this picture is just a little over the top for me. What's next? St. Laci?

and it was soooo too much it seems watching what I could of Dan Abrams... When Matthews credited him for the news breaking story, Dan just nodded, like head leaning downward, okay, if you say so look!....;o)
I do believe all the wording of yesterday's news was of artistic compositions from the "Defense" .... Why is Mark all of the sudden, "not commenting"? Seems, when this kind of stuff, close to violating the judges instructions, Geragos won't comment... ummmm, ya think he is going to hear from it from Giromali? I hope so!

Morning..rb.
Geraldo started off the day in a "damage control" mode. He seemed to be saying that the autopsy report hysteria that went on yesterday, wasn't anything that would help the Defense. Nothing new, nothings changed, IMO.
He had logical explanations for the "debris" that may have been caught up around the babies neck, etc.
Bo Dityl via Don Imus Show, called in and vented bigtime about yesterdays media feeding frenzy.
He actually called Dan Abrams "A Stooge!"...(Anyone wants to dispute that I HEARD this, can go and pound sand...grins.)..sw

I think that picture was taken at the memorial service. As in a funeral or rosary, people file by and "view" the deceased. They often show forms of affection at that time. This touching of picture is an example of what happens when the body is being held elsewhere.
To: runningbear
Yep, saw the judge's baliff down at Home Depot getting the rags and duct tape.
