4) Jackie Peterson saying that Scott had a request, that he wanted a custom piece of jewelry returned that had been picked up by the Rocha's from the jeweler.

This is the specific reporting that I was referring to. I have heard the other "mentions", but not seen anything quite as specific, and of course, this supposedly came from Jackie. She's on record, if you will. I have no problem whatsoever with anything the Rochas do, LOL. But if Jackie is telling the truth about this, then this seems to speak to something not at all kosher; i.e, a man takes expensive diamonds into a jeweler and makes a decision on refashioning the diamonds into one ring (I guess), the jeweler accepts the diamonds from the man (who at the time has not been arrested), but later gives them all to the man's mother-in-law (without express permission), that's troublesome. Hope it's not true, but if it is, I do hope jeweler and Sharon can cover their butts. MG will be on that one in a flash.

Most worrisome: Sharon had no comment.

Now, for what it's worth, here's how I see it playing out. Jackie P. says to Scott. We are trying to raise money to pay for your defense, where are Laci's wedding rings, the nice ring you bought for her, grandmother's diamond's? Scott says, gosh mom, I took all those to the jeweler to have a custom ring made, and those Rocha's went behind my back and picked it up. Scott could tell Jackie the moon is made out of swiss cheese and she would believe it. I may be wrong but somehow I just think Scott sold the missing jewelry or given to Amber.

Oh, but Sandy, pardon the crudity, but screw Geragos!! If some civil action is to be taken against the jeweler for giving the jewelry to Sharon, you don't think Geragos is going to handle that, too--without getting paid?? Is the monetary value of the jewelry enough that the Petersons are willing to pay Geragos to sue over it?

Geragos is in there as the criminal defense attorney--and we still don't know how he's really getting paid, but you bet he IS gonna get paid--and now Geragos is presumed to be handling all sorts of separate collateral legal snafus for these people, the Petersons. But from what I've seen of Geragos, he isn't going to be handling all those separate matters unless there's something substantial in it for HIM.

If you meant, Geragos would be all over what the jeweler and Sharon did, in the criminal trial--I think the only attention the jury would be allowed to give this jewelry matter would be to determine whether Laci was wearing the jewelry at the time of her death, and whether the person who killed her (whoever THAT may be) killed her in part for her jewelry.
