Well, I don't see what te big rush was - they had to have everything NOW, orcould it have waited? Apparently they needed these things right now, if not sooner?

To hell with the games, and the mother-in-law, and all that stuff - if they couldn't reach an agreement with the family, they could have taken the probate court route - I would have respected them for that. Now, to me, they look like a bunch of meterialistic looters of the dead...

I think the rush for NOW is because SP's family was already getting rid of Laci's stuff. Her wedding rings along with jewelry from her grandmother were taken to a jewelers to be ruined forever. I am sure the Rocha's wanted to get what they could before they sold off her wedding dress and anything else to help that piece of crap Scott.

No, I don't think so. Seems Jackie and clan are into games of possessions. If the Rocha's waited, what would be left, and would they really be able to get it back, even if the courts ruled in their behalf?

Frankly, a blessing they did what they had to do. Peterson's were of no help to remain 'friends' to the Rocha's, so you got yesterday's events.

I think, which I would know better, just might have gotten as emotional as the Rocha's to salvage what was left of my sibling. It is a life long mother protection aspect here.

There would have been nothing left.............. You don't know scum, don't you? lol

Have you ever heard of the phrase "possession is 9/10ths of the law?" If the Peterson's already distributed everything to relatives on their side, all they have to do is tell the Rocha's they didn't have that item, or couldn't find it, or Laci must have sold it cause they never saw it, etc.

I had the same situation happen to me 8 years ago. Here's the plot in a nutshell: Evil older brother has our ill mother (with a drinking problem) make a trust, negating previous will that divided everything equally. You guessed it -- the new trust gave him almost everything. Can't be changed since mother died before existance of trust was discovered.

When I asked for some special items that my mother had promised me since I was a little girl, I was told they couldn't find it or they just ignored my request. Needless to say, we have been estranged since then (my choice entirely -- he doesn't really know why I am so upset!).

Frankly, I don't blame the Roche family one bit. If my brother didn't have guns, I would have done the same thing.
