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 ........

From Court TV:


yep, no eyewitnesses who saw laci walking, no lee, no wecht, no marina witnesses...

only a concrete expert who took concrete sprinkles from the covena driveway a month ago, an accountant who doesn't include taxes into the bottom line, a doctor who uses baby shower chatter to draw medical inferences, and two parents making whopping excuses for their grown son...

Hmm...I'm going to bet he has been in the courtroom so he can get back on TV after the verdict. Might be fun to see if he back peddles on all the drivel he'd been selling up until the day he got gagged.

Perfect pic Howl.
MG did not deliver...did not prove Conner was born alive as PROMISED. Did not reveal that someone other than SP killed Laci and Conner...as PROMISED.
What was he thinking??? He did not have to PROMISE to prove anything???

Jeff Feiger said mark was a terrible attorney and not very smart (something like that) on Greta. Maybe Geragoes will let the Petersons drive his Mercedes as a consolation prize.

Oh Howlin, if the verdict comes in late Tuesday night, we'll all go nuts.

THE DEFENSE HAS RESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can this be????

Gearloose must've proven who killed Laci and Conner off the record. Yeah, that's the ticket.

What a riot! Geragos' entire opening statement has been debunked...by his 'own' self.

A million $$ doesn't buy much of a defense these days.

I am really surprised, aren't you all? I mean, I know I SAID he was a crappy attorney, but I never dreamed it would be this bad.

He will be ruined by this. Add this to the problems he has in the Jackson case and he is DEAD.

No wonder Geoffrey Fieger's head almost blew off the other night!

Sounds like another "fish story" to me as well...lol

Exactly. And what happened to the Satanic Cult and Skeeter and Dirty? LOL! Geragois has no place else to go with this.

Typical Geragos....the Petersons should have checked out his track record before spending all that $$ on him. Should have stuck with the public defender....would have gotten good lawyering instead of a big mouth media wh*re empty suit who ran out of their money long before the state's case was over. And the state will point out what was promised by the defense in openings, in case they have forgotten. Instead of a vigorous defense, they got a million dollar horse and pony show.

This is amazing; simply amazing; not one person came forward as a character witness for this man.

I was saying last week that the character witnesses should not take up too much time....Scott has no friends to reference.

And this magnificent defense costs Scott's parents and brothers and sisters everything they own and probably will ever own.

No sympathy for the parents - for them to lie as they have about the money and other things in scott's car, blow him kisses, and make excuses for his behavior explains how he became the sociopath that he is.

I hope his siblings seek help.

Remember that? Geragois told us in the beginning about the Satanic Cult and Skeeter, Dirty and that Van? LOL! He has/had no where else to go with this.

No witness saying that they saw Laci using the bathroom at the warehouse where the boat was stored???
No explanation from Scott that he was grooming Laci with needle nose pliers??
