Absent a conviction or a court ruling under 254(b), Scott can do with his half of the community property what he wishes.

Even if Scott is convicted half of the property is still his.

The only part he will not have is Laci's half if he is convicted. Her part will go into the estate.

Fieger says that the Defense team will have everyone believe that we cannot depend on LE to find killers anymore, the only one capeable is the Defense team...MG changes teh "real killere" daily...blahh blahh

I think you're right - the only thing he loses outright if he's convicted, aside from what he would have inherited from her, is his interest in any trust in which she has any interest at all:

250. (a) A person who feloniously and intentionally kills the decedent is not entitled to any of the following:
(1) Any property, interest, or benefit under a will of the decedent, or a trust created by or for the benefit of the decedent or in which the decedent has an interest, including any general or special power of appointment conferred by the will or trust on the killer and any nomination of the killer as executor, trustee, guardian, or conservator or custodian made by the will or trust.
