Employee recalls sex talk between Peterson and woman at trade show

By Jason Dearen, STAFF WRITER

REDWOOD CITY -- A ribald conversation between Scott Peterson and a woman he had just met at a trade show was so inappropriate it made one of Peterson's employees uneasy, according to the employee's testimony Tuesday in Peterson's double-murder trial. "Scott and (the woman) had a conversation that I believe was somewhat inappropriate for a married man and an engaged woman. There were discussions about sexual positions and what she liked and what he liked," said Eric Olsen, a fertilizer salesman hired by Peterson. Olsen said the steamy conversation occurred at a trade show the two men were attending at the Disneyland Hotel in October 2002. Prosecutors wanted the jury to hear the conversation, because the woman involved was Shawn Sibley, who introduced Peterson to Amber Frey shortly thereafter. Olsen's testimony marked the beginning of the prosecution's groundwork for their star witness, Frey, whom they believe inspired Peterson to murder his pregnant wife. More than a month after the dinner conversation, Sibley called Olsen with a serious question. "She wanted to know if Scott was married. At that point, as an employee of Scott's, I didn't want to be plugged into the situation going on," Olsen said. Shawn stated she wanted to set up Scott with one of her friends. I told her she needed to talk to Scott about this," Olsen said, his eyes darting between prosecutor David Harris and Peterson, who ..........

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — At a fertilizer convention two months before his wife vanished, Scott Peterson led a female colleague to believe he was single and then grilled her about her preferred sexual positions, a former employee and another conventioneer testified Tuesday afternoon.

The men told jurors in Peterson's capital murder trial that his dinnertime discussion with Shawn Sibley, a businesswoman who went on to introduce him to his mistress, became so raunchy that they wolfed down their meals and fled.........

The judge in the capital murder trial of Scott Peterson paved another avenue to appeal yesterday by allowing a police officer to testify about an anonymous tip, a legal expert said.

``This alleged conversation between the defendant and an anonymous caller is clearly inadmissible as evidence,'' said J. Albert Johnson, a defense attorney and former prosecutor.

Johnson was referring to Judge Alfred A. Delucchi's decision to allow Detective Allen Brocchini to testify about a man who claimed that Peterson had told him nine years earlier that if he ever killed someone, he would dump the weighted-down corpse in the ocean and let the fish eat it. .......

The Dismissed Juror in the Peterson Case:
Why He Should Have Been Kept on the Jury

The Dismissed Juror in the Peterson Case:
Why He Should Have Been Kept on the Jury

---- Wednesday, Jun. 30, 2004

On Wednesday, June 23, the judge in the Scott Peterson criminal trial removed one of the jurors, Justin Falconer, and called on an alternate to replace him. After Falconer was dismissed, the defense then moved for a mistrial, but its motion was denied.

In this column, I will argue that Falconer should not have been dismissed in the first place. Although Falconer slipped up in making what turned out to be an innocuous comment to a Peterson relative, the comment itself did not indicate bias on his part, and should have been forgivable under the circumstances. .......

2:14 p.m.: REDWOOD CITY -- Stanislaus County Deputy District Attorney Rick Distaso Tuesday morning showed the jury in Scott Peterson’s double-murder trial that it is easy to leave a mistaken impression.

He asked Modesto Police Detective Al Brocchini about a tip he received from one of Peterson’s college buddies, who said the defendant in 1995 described how he would dispose of a body.

“He said he would tie a bag around the neck with duct tape, put weights on the hands and throw it into the sea,” Brocchini said, recalling the phone conversation.........

"G's" = Guilty's
"NG's" = Not Guilty's
Refers to poster's opinion of Snotty.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

I wish they'd bring this college friend in to testify, so the jury themselves could decide whether or not his story is credible.

That's probably what the jury will be thinking as well. It plants a seed in the minds of people that this conversation might have occurred, which might be all the prosecution wanted to do anyway but without this person saying it himself who really knows?

[Carolinamom]

Even more disgusting info about Snotty. He's really low.

[Jackie-O]

I've been looking, can't find it anymore, I think it got pulled.

[RGSpincich]

Looks like that thread got killed at CTV. I heard that Greta made comments concerning the duct tape. That somehow means the tipster was valid? Hogwash. Here is my response to another poster on that subject.

[Devil_Anse]

Yeah, the prosecutors better keep their minds tuned to the "down to earth" side that most juries have.

I trust Brocchini's judgment that there was probably nothing in the guy's account of this "body disposal" discussion.

BUT, the jury does not always agree with the lawyers and witnesses as to what is significant, and THEY have the last word on what is significant! I can just see them coming back, after an adverse verdict, and saying, "We wish we could've gotten a chance to judge that college friend's tip for ourselves."

[Devil_Anse]

Maybe. But perhaps they could just call the guy in and quickly let the jury see and hear him. Jurors can't ask for what they want in these cases. And heaven help the lawyer who fails to give them the information they think they need!

[juzcuz]

There were discussions about sexual positions and what she liked and what he liked," ...

Can you imagine that comparison:

Snibley: Well Snott I like it when-
Snot: Yea, cool, but it's better this way when..
Snibley: Yea, but is so hard on my...
Snot: Not if you use duck tape...

[Devil_Anse]

Thanks! I thought she meant the Grantskis. (Which would be inaccurate anyway.)

[TexasCajun]

Freeper word of the day:

ribald

adj.-- Characterized by or indulging in vulgar, lewd humor.

n. -- A vulgar, lewdly funny person

[RGSpincich]

So did some poor shmuck end up marrying this Shawn chick, only to find out about these conversations later?

"Honest Mom, she's really a nice girl."

[sissyjane]

I can't get the link to work either.

Good Morning by the way!!!:)

[Reaganwuzthebest]

I can just see them coming back, after an adverse verdict, and saying, "We wish we could've gotten a chance to judge that college friend's tip for ourselves."

It's exactly what I was thinking, many cases have been decided based on the testimony of someone's word against another and who the jury believes. Denying the jurors in this instance of hearing the college friend in person could ultimately backfire on the prosecution even though many at this point think it helped them.

[hattend]

Dang, looks like the STDs are taking their toll on Slick Willy (he hates that nickname). He really doesn't look good in this pic.

His makeup artist must have went to the wrong store.

[Jackie-O]

Mod must have pulled the thread...couldn't even search MissJae's post. She must have gotten some responses that were doosies.

[isom35]

why is he kissing a guy's hand? is the guy mafia?

[hattend]

Pretty sure that's a female senior citizen.

BTTT

[sissyjane]

I read on websleuths that the judge said there would be two witness's today. I'm betting it's Shawn Sibley, followed by Amber. Let's send the juror's home for their five day holiday with her testimony in their minds.

[sissyjane]

Me too...She's wearing a pearl bracelet.

[runningbear]

Oh yeah, Greta had a field day yesterday's events.. The discription of the DA of how Laci was washed ashore detailing the duct tape wrapped around sections of her body....... Showing the pictures of her remains... Greta or someone from that show stated the jurors were stunned...
