Scott Peterson's Defense Could Rest Tuesday Scott Peterson's defense team could rest its case Tuesday.
On Monday, his lawyer called on Peterson's mother to try to explain why he had nearly $15,000 in cash on him when he was arrested. She says she gave him back $10,000 that she accidentally withdrew from his account.
His lawyer also questioned police about whether someone else could have been responsible for the death of Scott's wife, Laci, and her baby.
Prosecutors say he killed her and dumped her body into the San Francisco Bay nearly two years ago.
The defense maintains ........

Is the trial over, then? Or will there be a rebuttal from the prosecution?
BTTT
"He will be ruined by this. Add this to the problems he has in the Jackson case and he is DEAD."
Is Geragos implicated with the private investigator now being scrutinized the the Grand Jury in California? The one who did illegal wiretaps and such? He'll be busy hiring his own defense attorney. If not, his credibility is totally shot anyways. What a maroon.
Can't wait to hear Pixley try to explain why this is a 'brilliant' defense by Geragos. LOL
He and his client share the same ailment...they are both FULL OF BS !!!! it was all BS by attorney and client
Darn, you spelled his name right...blush.
BTW, I still suspect Greta is sweet on Mark Geragos :~)

"And what happened to the Satanic Cult and Skeeter and Dirty? LOL! Geragois has no place else to go with this."
LOL-anyone with a shred of common sense knew that was all smoke and mirrors. He doesn't have anywhere to go because he presented no reasonable alternative theory....and the jury most likely won't believe anything he floats in closings. He should have rested immediately....he has made it easier for the jury to convict, imo. Fiegers prediction of the quickest conviction ever may just come true.
Yes, there will be a rebuttal case...they are saying one day for rebuttal. Court begins at 12:30 Pacific time tomorrow.
Yes, he is. Intimidation of the witnesses by requiring them to make those videotapes is what I have heard.
But but but - didn't Geragos tell us in the beginning that he would reveal who REALLY murdered Laci and Connor? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked, that he didn't reveal the true guilty party or parties! Didn't Scott's parents mortgage their home to pay for this Geragos? I haven't been following all that closely, so don't remember.
If there is even ONE juror like that stupid fellow dismissed from the jury, then Scot will escape the death penalty, won't he?
I pray the Prosecution will remind the Jury what "promises" Geragos made in opening statements have not been delivered on.

Guess the loud flushing sound Geragos can hear distracted him from the Peterson case.......lol
Thanks for the info...I had heard that lawyers associated with the PI were also facing indictments, but I wasn't sure if he was one of them.
Closing arguments scheduled for Monday. Deliberations should start Tuesday afternoon or wed. morning. The judge is anticipating that each side will use about a day, but there are no time constraints.
