Scott Peterson's parents and his attorney have prevented his wife's family from entering the couple's Covena Avenue home and retrieving personal items, according to the statement from attorneys Adam J. Stewart and Albert G. Clark.
The statement came with a 22-point list of items that family members want, including Laci's diplomas and journals, and a watering can that says "Laci's Garden." But family members said that being inside the home that Laci decorated and lived in was more important than retrieving personal items.
According to the statement, lead defense attorney Mark Geragos wrote a letter in response to the request for access. The Laci Peterson family attorneys, in their statement, say that Geragos said it would be "unthinkable to allow anything to be moved or disposed of" until his team had completed its investigation.

This is when the Rochas went on Greta. Bowing to pressure from that appearance Geragos tosses them a bone for the next Tuesday.

Defense lawyer Mark Geragos says he has worked out an agreement to let Laci Peterson's family visit the house and remove her journals, a food processor and a watering can that said "Laci's Garden."

So Geragos tells Clark the Rochas can go in the following Tuesday, failing to mention that they will only be allowed to take three items. Then Clark hears, possibly through the media, about the reduction in the number of items that they will be allowed to take. An argument ensues between the attorneys on Thursday about the "agreement".

Further agitating the situation is the defense leaking of the autopsy. Geragos makes his "wanting war" statement and cancels his token agreement with the Rocha's attorney.

Sharon Rocha, having access to the home and no order restraining her from doing so, decides to retrieve certain items already outlined in the previous 22 point list. Geragos has the list. And Sharon had a key.

The Rochas played it straight up. It was Geragos who was playing games. IMO...

Just as a point of interest, it seems to me that this sentiment got lost somewhere along the way.

With all due respect, your post is nonsense.

That there was an agreeement is not even a question. Rocha's own attorneys say so. They also say that Gergaros backed out of the agreement the day after Rochas appearance on Gretas show.

Your statement that Gergaros "failed to mention that they will only be allowed to take three items" is unadulterated garbage. Rochas attorneys have stated that Sharon Rocha had originally submitted a list of 22 items that she would like from the home. During the negotiations to arrive at the agreement, this list was reduced by Sharon Rocha to 11 items.

You must be living in a cave or only get your news from these threads.
