The California code is a somewhat recursive definition:

California Probate Code §28. "Community property" means:
(a) Community property heretofore or hereafter acquired during marriage by a married person while domiciled in this state. (b) All personal property wherever situated, and all real property situated in this state, heretofore or hereafter acquired during the marriage by a married person while domiciled elsewhere, that is community property, or a substantially equivalent type of marital property, under the laws of the place where the acquiring spouse was domiciled at the time of its acquisition.
(c) All personal property wherever situated, and all real property situated in this state, heretofore or hereafter acquired during the marriage by a married person in exchange for real or personal property, wherever situated, that is community property, or a substantially equivalent type of marital property, under the laws of the place where the acquiring spouse was domiciled at the time the property so exchanged was acquired.

Just wondering--have we ever been able to determine by "the third mention theory" who, in fact, took the rings/diamonds to the jeweler and when? I've heard (1) Petersons, (2) Laci.
We really need the lowdown on this, even if we have to resort to "the third mention". LOL

[Rusty Roberts]

I've thought that is what they meant, the baby broke through the stomach wall, thus also possibly got caught in the same tape that was wrapped around Laci.

I did hear one person make a comment that sounded like it was through the wall, not vaginally. Can't remember who.

[Rusty Roberts]

For what it's worth, last night, on Fox, they reported the Laci took the jewelry in for repairs and so Sharon went to collect them....so what is true, repairs or made in to one ring? I was surprised that no one followed up on this report.

[Sandylapper]

Thanks, Rusty! You must have seen Adam Houseley (sp) of Fox, and if so, that is who I saw. I was sure that he said Laci took the jewelry in, so that gives us a sense of timing, if true. Adam's reporting last night was very hurried, and IIRC, he said twice before correcting himself, that the sentiments/emotions in Modesto were running highly in favor of the PETERSONS. Finally, he got a grip, and said the Rochas. Did you see that? Guess that's way I wondered if he knew what he was talking about when he said "Laci took rings to jeweler".

[Sandylapper]

"Guess that's why......"

[Sandylapper]

This won't work. You answered your own question. Same person can't answer it three times. Besides, we (collectively) will NEVER say "we don't know". We say, "we'll find out right away".

I've heard 'the Petersons', Laci AND Scott reported as having taken the rings to the jeweler.

If it was 'the Petersons'(parents) or Scott it would be very pertinent information. The reporters don't seem to distinguish the individuals involved (they are all Petersons to most of them).

The jewelry is an interesting factor in this case and WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE may not be clarified until the trial. The WHEN is what really interests me.

"The California code is a somewhat recursive definition:"

That code deals with a lot of legalese in regards to if you were married and lived in a Community Property State. You then sold your assets(Personal Property) and moved to a Non-Community Property State. While living there you buy a home with the proceeds from the Community Property sold in Calif. That portion upon your divorce or death in a Non Community State would still be devided as Community Property.

The mistake I made in my postings was in calling SEPARATE PROPERTY (Personal Property)

See defination below:

California Community Property Law:

1) What is community property?

California law defines community property as any asset acquired or income earned by a married person while living with his or her spouse.

Separate property is defined as anything acquired by a spouse before the marriage, or during the marriage by gift, devise or bequest.

The law requires that the community estate be divided equally if there is no written agreement to the contrary.

This means that from the total fair market value of the community assets, the joint obligations of the parties are subtracted, yielding the net community estate. Unless agreed otherwise, each spouse must receive ½ of the net community estate.
California Community Property

Scott gifted Laci her wedding rings so therefore they are her Separate Property

The only thing we know for sure is if Scott is convicted of killing Laci, he will have no right to any of the property that was Laci's share.

If he is not convicted without knowing what their Will says we don't know who she bequeathed her Separate Property to. In the absence of a Will and he is not convicted, I believe it all goes to him.

[Sandylapper]

Your background/roots is showing. "Tapu say..." much like Confucius say....

[Sandylapper]

I also heard 'the Petersons'. Heard 'the Petersons' on the Fox's Tony Snow's program Sunday. Then yesterday, I saw/heard Laci on Fox. Sigh.

[windchime]

Sigh from here, too. Looks like the people could keep ONE story straight!
