Consider it a preemptive strike then.

Well, ok. And what happens if, somehow, he is found Not Guilty, what then? "Oops, we made a mistake."?

I'd rather they have it than he give it away to his new girl friend. Sue them.

At least Sharon and family won't be charged with double murder for taking Laci's things. Scotty won't need them. No matter if legal or not legal, I am very glad Sharon got some of Laci's things. If the Petersons weren't insane she would have probably been happy with a few things. my guess is she would puke looking at anything that was truly just Scott's.

Even if the property is Laci's and not joint property, I would think her will, or probate court would decide where it goes. Parents do not automatically have a claim on children's belongings. When Scott is found guilty that would obviously impact any joint property or anything called out in Laci's will (if one exists).

This was theft, even if done for what appears to be a good purpose.
