It's okay for the Peterson family to go into the house any time they want, but Laci's family couldn't? These people are sick. I think someone should check to see just what it is Jackie Peterson has been inhaling from that oxygen tank!!

Hmmm... let's see - the deed was in Scott and Laci Peterson's Name. When one dies, the title transfers (if I read that right) to the one still alive, therefore the house belongs soley to Scott Peterson, so no, Laci's family had no legal right to enter that home and start removing items...

You are correct though I don't think it makes a difference to the actual court case on either side.

One of the attorneys last night on Larry King (I think the great Nancy Grace) said there has not been a death certificate issued yet, so legally Laci is still part owner. WHEN Scott is found guilty he is entitled to ZILCH except maybe his very personal belongings (undies etc) and the house goes to Laci's family anyway.

I think the Peterson's, Mark Geragos and especially that Dalton guy are all making this much worse for Scott because those that didn't hate him before this do now!!!!

That may be, but it's not Jackie Peterson's house either, and the fact that she calls it "our house" is totally out of line.

I haven't heard if Laci had a Will. Does anybody know?

I also watched Greta's show on Fox last night. I thought she was going to have some of Laci's friends on talking about the Peterson marriage. I don't remember seeing that. Can anyone fill me in on it. Was there anybody actually on, and if so, did they give any new insight into the Scaughty/Laci marriage?

and is a civil matter... not criminal... (as the DA puts it....;o))

No, but morally they do. If I had a son-in-law who murdered my daughter and grandson and subsequently found out that he was a total liar and deceiver I would feel compelled to do the same. The Rocha's tried the polite route, then the legal route, and when they started getting the famous Peterson/Geragos run around and lies they took matters into their own hands.

the deed was in Scott and Laci Peterson's Name.

Correction. The deed IS in Scott and Laci's name. There has been no transfer of title or a Death Certificate filed. The transfer is not complete until the proper paperwork is complete. An affidavit of death, including a certified copy of the Death Certificate has to be filed to remove Laci's name from the title. This has not been done. The house, as to an undivided 1/2 interest, remains the property of Laci.
