Says you. :)
"Okay, where did you obtain the chain saw? Wouldn't it be reasonable to locate the sources of the chain saw, the plastic bags and other equipment? You know sales receipts, or sales clerks testimony that they sold such items to Peterson."
Depends. Did he already HAVE a chainsaw? Buy it from Kmart in S. Francisco? Steal it? Plastic Bags? Why would anyone question that? I'd get rid of sales receipts, but that's just me.
"Where is your isolated spot that allows a boat to be towed to it,"
Why would we tow that boat to it?
"a gas powered chain saw (otherwise a generator would be necessary) operated without attracting attention, sufficient water to clean up any evidence and cooperative weather to help rinse away the crime scene all on the path from the Peterson home to the marina? "
Why does it have to be on a path to the marina? Let's talk mountains and streams. No problem. Plenty of options in N. California.
"We have time ranges to operate in based on the cell phone tracking of Peterson's movements, so what searches have been conducted of potential locations?"
I have no idea. I was putting forth a possibility of how he could have delimbed his wife as a response to your post. Personally, I think he's guilty and am not obsessing over it. You tell me... does it fit or doesn't it?
What happened to all of the plastic material you used to store and transport the body pieces?
I'd throw it in the ocean with the body. But that's just me.
How do you remove the air from the plastic material to prevent the body parts from floating when you dump them?
Same way you get air out of a balloon. Allow it to deflate.
Was said plastic found with the body?
Doesn't matter...... She's dead and didn't fall in the ocean and delimb on impact. No murder weapon found with the body, but I'm guessing there is one.
"If body parts were removed from plastic before dumping wouldn't that have been messy, i.e. require additional washing and clothes changing by you? "
I would think so, so I wouldn't do it.
Surely any plastic tubs should have turned up near the body or been found in proximity if a constant search of that portion of the Bay was being conducted.
Why is that? A. Don't really need tubs. B. Why would the tubs remain where they were instead of floating neatly out to sea with the head and arms?
Where is the evidence of the vehicle and boat being washed, much less shampooed without any witnesses to said event?
At the car wash? Why would a guy washing his car be something to remember?
Absent evidence of the vehicle being washed is there evidence of recent driving on dirt roads (to the dismemberment site)?
At the car wash?
The point is that the more complicated you make a crime the more difficult it is to eliminate or conceal evidence of the crime.
The point is that it ain't all that complicated.
There are complexities to this case that were not addressed to my satisfaction, and the more complexities you attempt to introduce the more uncertain I become.
Don't really care, no offense. The MSM's attempt to glorify this case and amp readership/viewership and put money in their pockets by presenting construed coverage slanted to show that the prosecution didn't do it's job is ridiculous. Have we ever seen them do that before? He's guilty and he will fry (no pun intended) case closed.
Ahem: she was NOT sawed apart.
"Did he already HAVE a chainsaw?"
It would have to be completely unknown to anyone else or its absence would need an explanation.
"Why would we tow that boat to it?"
See reply #521 for a time line in which all of your actions had to occur. He would have had to unhitch the boat trailer and leave it where it would not likely be spotted and then retrieve it without attracting attention. So it would be more practical to tow the boat to the crime scene.
"Why does it have to be on a path to the marina? Let's talk mountains and streams. No problem. Plenty of options in N. California."
Again see reply #521 since it establishes known whereabouts for Peterson which are not subject to change.
"Why is that? A. Don't really need tubs. B. Why would the tubs remain where they were instead of floating neatly out to sea with the head and arms?"
The plastic tubs were suggested as a storeage medium. Why wouldn't the plastic tubs, head and limbs wash ashore in a location near where the body eventually washed ashore rather than out to sea?
"At the car wash? Why would a guy washing his car be something to remember?"
Well it was Christmas Eve so it would have been a self-wash type place most likely and there wouldn't likely be any witnesses. Again, I raised this as a matter of time and location for conducting the activity. And a freshly washed and shampooed vehicle would have been obvious to the police when they first questioned Scott Peterson, but it was not noted as such.
"The point is that it ain't all that complicated."
I guess we'll have to disagree on what constitutes reasonable doubt. Even though we were working in hypotheticals I would hope that you would see that there were enough unanswered questions to cast doubt as to whether it was even possible for Peterson to conduct the activities we contemplated much less practical given the other facts we know.
And in the real life trial there were unanswered questions that should have been easily answered if all of the prosecutions theories and expert testimony were correct. Yet, the prosecution was unable to provide any physical evidence to corroborate its theories. I'd be troubled by that.
