Perhaps we'll get more coverage of the fingerprints this week. Geraldo talked about it Sat. night and I heard Larry Kobilinsky Sunday afternoon on Fox. When it has been brought up as a possibility it usually stops the defense lawyers on the panels in their tracks. They can't really come up with an explanation. All Mickey Sherman could do was say that he doubted that fingerprints could survive in the water that long. This tells me that such evidence, if it exists, is going to be really bad news for Scott. Do you think there is a possibility of a plea to LWOP? I think that the Rocha's may go for that to avoid a lengthy painful trail. Geragos may see it as a success because he kept him from getting the DP. As for Scott, Mom & Dad...?

Oh, I did manage to catch Mickey's remarks. With the hyperbole common to those shows, he said "no way" could there be fingerprints, yada yada yada. You're right... I don't think he addressed the possibility that IF there WERE fingerprints of Scott's... wait, I vaguely remember that the reporter cornered him and said, "Mickey, suspend your disbelief, let's just say, WHAT IF." At that point, if my memory serves, he was forced to concede that that would be, um, very bad for Scott's defense. Duh.
I think Scott himself will prevent there being any settlement of this case w/o a trial. I don't think Scott really fathoms that HE MIGHT LOSE. I think he wants to pull out all the stops to correct this "misunderstanding"; IMO, he hasn't given up his fantasy that he will one day soon be back out on the golf course, then over to Amber's for a quickie, then on to his luxurious home, then traveling and enjoying life...
I heard Nancy Grace say on LKL that Peterson won't get a second offer from the Prosecution. Especially if they have evidence like that there is NO need. He really does DESERVE the same penalty as his "innocent" victims.
