"UC Davis is a medical research facility amongst other medical stuff.. I think someone was careless in disposing of these remains..."

I agree RB, I heard they're were limb's from 3 women and one man. Some mummified, some with soft tissue.

I know this sounds distateful, but amputations are quite regularly on the OR schedules at all hospitals, esp. teaching hospitals.

The limbs are handed off to the circulating nurse and then on to be cremated usually. Maybe these were some that got "lost" and the person guilty of that offense decided to try and dispose of them, instead of fessing up and getting into trouble.

Just an idea I had from working as a circulating nurse....

"And call me optimistic, but I don't think the MAJORITY of married men have affairs. Therefore, even if all the men who had affairs ended up killing their wives, still, the majority of wives would not have been killed by their cheating husbands."

What????

[oceanperch]

Do you get much call for the blood?

Growing up I used to eat a Filipino Dish that one needed fresh pig blood.

Us anglo's in the family called it Chocolate Meat I cannot remember the real name.

Jackie Peterson also stated on national televison that the Rochas could go in at any time two days before the ROchas went in. Since the house was still in both Scott and Laci's name, no DC had been issued at that time, the Petersons and the lawyers for Scott have had access (some since the weeks after Laci disappeared), the Petersons have already been seen removing items by neighbors, and the Rocha's had a key. The authorities state it is civil, not criminal dispute.

I'm surprised about this, as when my father had to have his leg amputated, we were given his leg (big surprise to us) and told to treat it as "remains". We could donate it, cremate it or bury it if we had a plot already, but it was our responsibility. It was the law , so I'm surprised this wasn' more closely supervised. Hate to think of someone donating a limb and having this happen.

[oceanperch]

Yet another suggesting on how else did Laci get to her final destination.
Possible well yeah, plausible highly unlikely.

I live on a Bay and lights that do not normally appear do all the time. Usaully some inexper. boater caught on the sandbar. No one usaully pays attention 'cept me.

I noticed a fishing vessel in the same spot for two weeks and not fishing called the CG and found out they were late on their moorage rent and so are living in an anchor zone...legally. Huh now I wonder where they are dumping their sewage as they have been out there 2 months now. Bay bums.

"how does speculation here on FR change the outcome (of) the verdict?"

I guess you've missed all the self- congratulatory posts 'here on FR' that claim to have changed the course of US politics and debate in general?

"Free" though we might like to consider it, the internet is right up there with (or ahead of) print and broadcast media in its ability to forge opinions:
the opinions that dominate here and elsewhere are violently in agreement with FOX: Laci good, Laci family good, Scott bad, etc.

WE do'n need no steenkin' evidence, we do'n need no steenkin' trial, we need a steenkin rope!

[Devil_Anse]

What are you up to NOW, you troublemaker??

The fact is, if the majority of married men were cheating on their wives, what we'd have is a trail of dead HUSBANDS--not a trail of dead wives! And don't you fergit it!!

[Devil_Anse]

That's fascinating. You know, if more evicted people thought of that... well... well, if more evicted people thought of that... well... well, I guess we'd have a lot more of those children's books like "The Boxcar Children".

I mean, I guess if one were evicted from the lot one's trailer stood on, he could have his trailer towed to the bay and... oh, never mind!

[Devil_Anse]

The public may not at this point know evidence which proves Scott's guilt for the murders, but the public has indeed seen hard evidence that Scott is a very cold specimen of a human being. That evidence being, just for starters, his long interviews with Diane Sawyer and with another reporter (watch 'em before you decide to defend 'em), and the pictures of him cracking jokes and smiling on New Year's Eve (one week after she disappeared), and many other things which we have seen with our own eyes.

[Devil_Anse]

THANK you!!!

And don'tcha just know, if this case had an alleged eyewitness to Scott's murdering Laci, the defense would be spinning out every study the world has even known which purports to show the "unreliability of eyewitness testimony"!

[Devil_Anse]

But Jackie Peterson holds a power of attorney for Scott. Presuming that Scott is the property's owner, that gives Jackie the right to give someone permission to enter the property.

And Jackie did just that. I heard it myself, and so did several others here. On national TV, b/f the day the Rochas entered the house, Jackie said "Sharon can go in there anytime she wants."

And the things they took? Well, Scott may have become the sole owner of the house on Laci's death (through having held it with Laci in joint tenancy w/ right of survivorship), but that does not mean that Scott necessarily was the owner of everything in the house. Some of that property might well have descended to the Rochas. The Tiffany lamps given as GIFTS to Laci by her grandmother, for example. Oh, btw, guess where THOSE were? They were at Kirk McAllister's office. And as the Rochas were committing this "crime", Kirk McAllister had those lamps brought over from his office and turned over to the Rochas very quickly. Guess Kirk McAllister, a California attorney, thinks the Rochas have a right to some of the property, too.

[oceanperch]

That is unbelievable! They gave you the leg!?

I would think it would be considered medical waste?

Can you imagine if women recieved the remains after an abortion???

I asked the Dr.where my uterus was going after he took it out and he just laughed and said Medical waste.

[oceanperch]

That's interesting.. I just read about the woman on the Cape who was thought to be murdered by a peeking tom.

However they did DNA on the semen to all her known boyfriends. No match but if it had matched the last known guy to have sex with her and then she was murdered by someone watching wouldn't it be hard for the last guy who had sex with her if it did match to say he didn't kill her?

[oceanperch]

Should your business rival in Chicago be concerned right about now? Just Kidding for the record.

[oceanperch]

Thus, OJ walks.

I watched the trial and I never actually heard any evidence that he was seen at the crime.

I thought it all, in the OJ case, was as you explained circumstantial evidence.

[oceanperch]

I would pick Sophie Loren on steroids.

[Devil_Anse]

Yes, from what I remember, all the evidence in OJ as to the actual murder, WAS circumstantial. Unless somehow an Akita dog could be trained to talk!

Egad, do you realize Sydney and Justin could have come to the window or something, and SEEN him practically cutting their mother's head off?

[Devil_Anse]

I may be way off, but is that Christa Worthington?

If some of the semen found had matched one of her known boyfriends, but if other semen had also been found, how would they have known WHOSE semen got there last? I mean, how would they have known which guy was the last to do it with her?

Yes, if some of it had matched one of her known boyfriends, I think that person would have been seriously considered as a suspect. But if there were nothing else besides that against him, I could see how he probably would have successfully refuted the suggestion. Heh-heh. Love and murder. He could ask, "Are you saying I went and made love with her, then just up and killed her? Why? I didn't have to rape her; she wanted me as much as I wanted her."

But I think it was kind of fruit (New Orleans lingo for "not fair") for the TeeVee people to publicize the interviewer asking the Rochas that question, to pique people's interest, if the TeeVee people knew darn well that the question had such a let-down of an answer...

That's how the media seems to be. They always seem to make the biggest to-do about something that ends up to be an utter let down put at the very end of their program!
