"Al Clark(One of two of the Rocha's attorneys): "We thought we had it worked out with Geragos that Sharon could come in Laci's home next Tuesday". "He (Geragos)called...on Thursday and said he's not going to allow anyone in the house...."

And I've stated no different.

What you are ignoring is the Greta program appearance by Sharon Rocha on Wednesday night effectively denying that any access was being provided to her. That was the precipitant for the Geragos withdrawl of the deal Thursday morning.

I think the what Rocha's said on Greta's show was, they were upset because they were not allowed inside Laci's house.The said they had faxed the Peterson's and their attorney four times with no response.Daylate-dollarshort,I will see if I can find the actual transcript of the show,and post back later.

Scott Peterson's parents and his attorney have prevented his wife's family from entering the couple's Covena Avenue home and retrieving personal items, according to the statement from attorneys Adam J. Stewart and Albert G. Clark.
The statement came with a 22-point list of items that family members want, including Laci's diplomas and journals, and a watering can that says "Laci's Garden." But family members said that being inside the home that Laci decorated and lived in was more important than retrieving personal items.
According to the statement, lead defense attorney Mark Geragos wrote a letter in response to the request for access. The Laci Peterson family attorneys, in their statement, say that Geragos said it would be "unthinkable to allow anything to be moved or disposed of" until his team had completed its investigation.

This is when the Rochas went on Greta. Bowing to pressure from that appearance Geragos tosses them a bone for the next Tuesday.

Defense lawyer Mark Geragos says he has worked out an agreement to let Laci Peterson's family visit the house and remove her journals, a food processor and a watering can that said "Laci's Garden."

So Geragos tells Clark the Rochas can go in the following Tuesday, failing to mention that they will only be allowed to take three items. Then Clark hears, possibly through the media, about the reduction in the number of items that they will be allowed to take. An argument ensues between the attorneys on Thursday about the "agreement".

Further agitating the situation is the defense leaking of the autopsy. Geragos makes his "wanting war" statement and cancels his token agreement with the Rocha's attorney.

Sharon Rocha, having access to the home and no order restraining her from doing so, decides to retrieve certain items already outlined in the previous 22 point list. Geragos has the list. And Sharon had a key.

The Rochas played it straight up. It was Geragos who was playing games. IMO...
