....and we are series !

I got the impression that the judge made that statement with regard to the fact that the reason Geragos gave to keep the search warrants sealed was because he has an "ongoing investigation" supposedly going on.

The judge said he didn't see any proof of that at all -- and if it was going on, that would have been the time for Geragos to produce some proof of it.

This is Geragos' red herring, not the judges.

[Howlin]

You made me do it

[clouda]

Thanks for the ping RB.


Tonight at 10:00 EST Court TV will be doing a special on the Peterson case.

[Canadian Outrage]

Totally disrespectful and totally going to blow up in their faces if they keep up on this vein. The goon squad are shooting blanks all the way. I mean, other "defense" Lawyers are practically laughing at him and recommending against his present tactics. Oh well, if the Peterson clan want to pay for this, have at it!!

[hobbes1]

ROR!

[hobbes1]

While I get the impression he has something .....further in mind, that's a pretty lame reason for sealing the warrants...


And, if he was going to use that, why not hire some cheap PI
to start tracking stuff dwon to make a showing for the Judge?

[clouda]

Scott Peterson made numerous trips to the Berkeley Marina while a massive search was underway throughout Northern California -- including the waters of the San Francisco Bay -- for any sign of his pregnant wife, Laci, sources told KTVU on Thursday.

As I said before this is very interesting and telling. Scott was keeping tabs on how close the police might be to where he dumped the bodies.

If he had nothing to hide, why bother going out there. He would know Laci and Conner were not there, and would focus his efforts elsewhere.

[hobbes1]

Labine allegedly issued the warrant allowing Scott Peterson's phones to be tapped from Jan.10 to April 18 -- a time when investigators maintained publicly that he was not a suspect in the case.

Conversely, If he was NOT A SUSPECT, why tap his phones?

[RGSpincich]

Conversely, If he was NOT A SUSPECT, why tap his phones?

Because if Laci was kidnapped he would be the one most likely to be called with ransom demands.

[Howlin]

He's under a ruling from their Court of Appeals....evidently Geragos got that early on.

He has now ruled they can be released, but the C of A will have the final say. This judge does not have techcnial jurisdiction of this case.

[hobbes1]

Are you meaning to suggest that all of those conversation that took place with his LAWYER, were confused with Ransom Demands?

[Howlin]

Whoops......I misread your post. I thought you were talking about the judge.

You would have thought Geragos would have give up SOMETHING to the judge to prove that he's not lying every single time he opens his mouth, wouldn't you?

The talking heads will have a field day with that quote tonight.

[RGSpincich]

In addition, he told Amber Frey that he did know who did it. By monitoring his calls, he could direct police to the "real" killer. Bwhahaha

[hobbes1]

so, I guess then that you are comfortable with the Police knowing best, and playing by the rules as it suits them ?

[RGSpincich]

Are you meaning to suggest that all of those conversation that took place with his LAWYER, were confused with Ransom Demands?

Are you confused? They applied for the phone tap prior to the legal intercepts you mention. The 3900 other calls could have produced some interesting results.

[hobbes1]

That's correct. However if your assertion about WHY they tapped the phones is correct, then Every conversation NOT a ransom demand should end exactly upon establishment of te party on the other end of the phone.



Unless they were fishing....You know, you people that reflexively support the Prosecution in cases like this, are no different than the Leftists that support Big GOvernment reflexively.


Geragos is doing HIS job, and one of the consequences of what he does, is that ctizens are ensured that the GOVERNMENT PROVES their allegations.


You know Like they didn't vs. O.J.

and He spent a year in the can....

[hobbes1]

Whereas, had they taken their time, Maybe they could have convicted him, if indeed he was guilty...But They rushed into court without doing their work....

[RGSpincich]

You asked for a reason if he wasn't a suspect and I gave you two reasons. Seems that he did direct police to the real killer.

[hobbes1]

Well, OK. Lets adress the "Ransom Demand" argument, simply, in defernce to you, If that was to hold any water, the Tap would not have been surreptitious, now would it?


As to the other, Because we "think' something may be going on, is not a valid reason to tap someones phone...that's called a fishing expedition....something Conservatives generally disagree with...
