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 ........

Peterson doesn't have a prayer for an overturning of his conviction should that happen. He got a million dollar defense. Most people could never mount that kind of defense. And Geragos did work on his behalf. There is no question there. He simply didn't have anything but lies to work with. And when your client has his voice on wiretaps lying his face off there is not much a Defense Lawyer can do with that!!

Did you see Snott's brother walking out of court today...he said, "the tooth, er truth shall set Scott free."
I guess he's not too convinced.
Or maybe he was talking about Snotts bucky-beavers?
Is he going to gnaw his way out of prison?

I'm not exactly sure what to make of #5 either. I frankly think he just wants to look like a Doctor/Lawyer/super educated fellow. He, of all people, should be able to put the pieces of this thing together.

"but it matters to me to see women like Mary Kay LeTourneau or Susan Smith get less than the max!"

You have that right. Did you catch Mary Kay LeTourneau on Larry King? I didn't get all the way thru it - made me sick.

Imagine, his brother actually using Scripture in a very unscriptural manner. There isn't a truthful thing that has come out of a Peterson mouth yet. I don't see how that is going to set Scooter free!! GAG!!

Just beore I leave I just wanted to let you know that Abrams apparently has the transcript up of a call between Scott, Jackie and Lee. It's called a deadly game. It's when he's telling his parents that the DA has offered him a deal not to seek the death penalty against him if he tells them where the body is!!

that is what Horowitz stated.... and he also stated several jurors, I think up to 5 could shake it or brake it.... There are so many problems in this case if hung jury. Legal costs, DA, change of venue again, just to name a few...

Was watching a bit of Bill O'Rielly, and Aphrodite Jones... She must have love spell on Geragos.... Boy does she spin.....

I think the juror has already made up their minds... Most are convicting scott, (by way of the talking heads, and those who attended the trial), there are a few to watch though....All pending on which side to believe.... Gads, I hope at least guilty...but if 1st or 2nd is an issue...at least guilty is forth right!

Rambling..... almost night time for me.... Was in the hot spa outside for a few.... hubby had it up to 103 degrees....Wheeeeew!!!!! steamed up.....lol....

a person who was on the Nancy Grace radio today, called in and discribed the court room atmosphere..... She attended the time when the DA witness on cement was on and stated that is the only time she physically saw Geragos sweating.... He is cooked....

Oh, I hope they use that 'deny, deny, deny" tape!

Does it make it more likely that the prosecution use it now that Jackie has testified?

"I for one am going to have the vcr running continually so as not to miss seeing the verdict and having it to look at over and over !!!! Of course I am expecting Guilty unless another Justin on jury"

We better hear a guilty verdict or surgery will be required to remove my foot from the television screen!
