  3. @AngelWings, Renee P --YOU "Even though Ron already had a boat and a better one at that.... LOL" TRUTH Ron didn't have a boat. He had a dingy. --YOU "Are you aware the boat was never registered" TRUTH The boat WAS registered. The correct information including his name and address was filed with the DMV on 12-9-02. --YOU "Laci's hair was was found wound tightly in some pliers on the boat" TRUTH HAIR WAS NOT WRAPPED AROUND PLIERS HENDEE: No, it didn't wrap around the pliers, didn't wrap around the needle nose. It just went through. It looked like at one location it just went through the pliers. It was never proven to be Laci's hair. --YOU -Scott transferred the marina ticket to his clean.pants TRUTH EVERS: And he said, in fact, I have a parking receipt, would you like to see it? DISTASO: And what did you say? EVERS: I said yes. DISTASO: Okay. And did he go somewhere and get a parking receipt for you? EVERS: Yes, he did. DISTASO: Do you know where he went? EVERS: Yes, I do. DISTASO: Where was that? EVERS: He opened up the, he opened up the door to his truck, and reached in, and pulled a receipt from the ashtray. --YOU "Scott told Ron he was golfing" TRUTH Scott did NOT tell Ron he was golfing. He didn't talk to Ron until later and when he did, he said he was fishing. --YOU "Scott called Sharon and immediately said Laci is missing without asking if she had heard from her or seen her" TRUTH DISTASO: And can you tell the jury, just tell us what happened. ROCHA: When he called he said, "Hi, Mom." He said, "Is Laci there with you or over there?" And I said, "No." And he said that her car is there, was there in the driveway and the dog was in the backward with the leash on and Laci was missing. I remember telling him to call her friends to see if anybody had seen or talked to her that day..... --YOU "Robert Chacon was a lead detective who found evidence in the form of clay pots." TRUTH Robert Chacon was not a lead detective, nor was there any evidence of clay pots ever entered as evidence.

TRUTH They measure bones to determine gestational age. They don't use weight of a decomposing fetus to determine age. 🤦‍♂️ --YOU "Vivian Mitchell couldn't have seen Laci because her husband Bill was home watching Football and therecwas no football games that day." TRUTH He said he had been searching on Christmas Eve for information or previews of bowl games to be played in the next few days. You must have had to jump through some "mind gymnastics" I guess. --YOU "Scott was researching paths of currents" TRUTH -He was searching fishing game and boating regulations. Detective Wall clearly agreed on the stand he DID NOT search " currents" The website was "Department of Fish and Game"

  4. -HE DID WANT CHILDREN Couples they hung out with started having babies, Scott and Laci surprised friends when they reversed an earlier stance of not wanting children. Laci, who had had surgery years earlier and was left with one ovary, knew it would be difficult to conceive and methodically tracked her cycle. Richardson said she recalls Laci expressing frustration that Scott always seemed to be traveling at the wrong time, and it took some time before Laci was pregnant. By early June, she got the good news. She enrolled in a prenatal yoga course and attended Lamaze classes with Scott. They also got to work early on the baby's room. Consistent with the decorations for The Shack and with Scott's interest in fishing, the couple chose a nautical theme, even hanging a life preserver decoration that read: "Welcome Aboard." Brent Rocha confirmed that Scott did indeed plan to have a family, and was quite emotional about becoming a father: Mark Geragos: And also fair to say that she was very excited about the kid? Brent Rocha: Yes. Mark Geragos: Okay. And Scott was as well? Brent Rocha: Yes. Mark Geragos: When he talked about, when you talked to him, he would express the fact that he's, I mean he's a goal-oriented person; you heard that description earlier today. You would agreed with that, right? Brent Rocha: Yes. Mark Geragos: And is, one of his goals was to have a child and a family? Brent Rocha: Yes. Mark Geragos: Okay. And he told you that he was thinking about what kind of father he was going to be and he was crying and he said he was going to be great; isn't that what he told you? Brent Rocha: That's what he was saying. Sharon Rocha confirmed, on Larry King Live, that Laci told her Scott had changed his mind about having a baby shortly after they moved to Covena in October 2002: ROCHA: “that's when she told me that Scott had said that he didn't think he wanted to have children. Of course that concerned me because we'd had conversations before in his presence or they had had conversations in my presence about having children. KING: So then it shocked you? ROCHA: It did. It really surprised me. KING: But then she got pregnant. ROCHA: Well, then she went on to say that not only did she -- that he didn't think he wanted to have children, she also said that he didn't want to. So, I was -- I was really upset about that knowing that he knew how she felt about having children. And then it was about a month or so later, it was around Thanksgiving time she and I were in the kitchen preparing dinner when she told me that she's going to stop taking birth control pills in December. Well, that surprised me because it had only been a month ago that Scott didn't want to have children. So, we had a conversation about that and I said, "Are you sure? Are both of you absolutely sure because you can't put the baby back once he's here"? Well, it was an it at that time. It was nothing at that time. And she said, yes, that they had talked about it and they were ready that Scott was ready also. Greg Reed gave testimony about Scott's and Laci's relationship, and Scott's participation in Laci's pregnancy. HARRIS: You also, Kristen, your wife, became friends with Laci, is that fair? REED: All four of us met at the same time. HARRIS: And they became friends separate of you and Scott? Kristen and Laci became friends? REED: Yes, they did. HARRIS: And at some point you and your wife began a Lamaze class at your home, is that correct? REED: That is correct. HARRIS: And you asked Scott and Laci if they would like to join in the Lamaze class? REED: That is correct. HARRIS: And they agreed to do that, right? REED: Yes. HARRIS: Okay. During about a one month period, they came to your house on a weekly basis to participate in the Lamaze classes, is that right? REED: That's probably about right. About once a week. HARRIS: You got a chance to see them interact quite a bit during that, didn't you? REED: Yes. HARRIS: And your impression, from telling the police, your impression was that they were a very happy couple? REED: Yes. HARRIS: And, in fact, you told the police Scott treated her very, very well? REED: Yes. HARRIS: They both, I believe your quote to the police was they were both very excited about the baby coming, is that right? REED: That's what it appeared, yes. HARRIS: And you were called in an interview you did with the police, excuse me. Let me take that back. Do you recall an incident at one point where you were looking through a catalog called Cabella's catalog? REED: Yes, I remember that. HARRIS: What is the Cabella's catalog? REED:  It's a hunting, fishing, outdoors-type of magazine. And equipment. HARRIS: And they actually sell kids' camouflage outfits, is that right? REED: In that magazine they were. HARRIS: In that particular one? REED: Yes. HARRIS: During that time you were looking at it, both you and Scott were going through the, the kids' section or the kids' outfits, hunting and fishing, or whatever outfits, and the two of you were talking and laughing about how much you couldn't wait to buy your kids those kind of outfits, is that correct? REED: I remember that clearly, that's correct. HARRIS: Okay. Scott was very excited about that possibility, wasn't he? REED: Yes.

  8. The MPD hid information from the public and the defense. Remember, a treasure trove of incriminating evidence against S Todd and G Pearce existed. information about any investigation of this tip.  Appeal site Lt. Aponte gave a signed statement to defense investigators which said the prisoner had been interviewed by MPD, and that MPD had received a copy of the taped phone conversation. Instead of this information being disclosed during discovery. The only information provided to the defense about his tip was a simple notation on a CD which included 10,000 other tips about the case. -Merlin, the trailing dog owned by Cindee Valentin, trailed Laci's scent to the Gallo Winery in the airport district, on the night of December 26.  -December 31, a gold Croton watch, identical to Laci’s watch which disappeared the same day she did, was pawned by Deanna Renfro. Highly unlikely this is just a coincidence. It gets better. The families of Deanna Renfro, Steven Todd and the Tenbrinks know one another. -Diane Jackson reported seeing 3 men with a VAN and a SAFE in front of the Medina’s house at 11:40 a.m. on December 24. There is no debating this. The burglary happened the same day Laci disappeared. Both Todd and Pearce pled guilty to burglary charges 12-24-02. They both received reduced sentences. - S Todd would have received 25 years for his third offense. So why did he get 8 years and 8 months, far less than 25 years. Pearce received only 180 days, yet he was another career criminal. -Tom Harshman, who lived in Modesto, was driving with Elizabeth Harshman between 2 and 4 p.m. on the afternoon of December 24. He saw a young pregnant woman being forced into a van. He turned around and went back to the spot hoping to find the van still there and hoping to get more information about the license plate number. But they were gone. 1. He called police (911 MPD) that same day. 2. Tried again December 28. 3. December 28, he also called the Laci tip line twice. His first call on this date was listed incorrectly under the name Harsh and was given Bates Stamp number 14789. The call was given to Detective Holmes. Harsh(man) said that he had called 3 or 4 days earlier on the day that he had seen a pregnant young woman being pushed into a van. There had been a man standing over her as she squatted to urinate with her back up against a chain-link fence. The man was described as 30’s, tall, thin, with ponytail, dirty blonde to gray hair, scrubby looking. When she finished, the woman was shepherded back to the driver’s door of the car, where another man’s arm was seen pulling her into the car. He said the young woman was wearing black pants and a red shirt. He said she had a scared look on her face." 4. Jan 3rd, he went to the Command Post in the park and relayed this to the officer on duty. Over 40,000 pages in the discovery and nothing about this report was in it. 5. February 2003, Harshman’s wife spoke to a relative of hers who lived in New York about the sighting of Laci Peterson near the corner of Scenic and Claus. Mrs. Harshman’s relative shared this story with an NYPD detective. This NYPD detective was so concerned that he contacted the MPD and spoke personally to Detective Grogan on February 14, 2003. What did Grogan do with the information? Nothing at all. 6. pre-trial hearings in May of 2004, DA Investigator Kevin Bertalotto noticed the Harshman tip and insisted that Grogan call Tom Harshman and speak to him personally. Grogan did this on May 18, 2004. An audiotape and a transcription of his conversation with Harshman to the defense on May 20, 11 days before the beginning of the trial.

  11. There is nothing overwhelming about the evidence except it pointing away from him. ------ She wasn't found for nearly 4 months. She was found on the shoreline. 153 lb body is NOT going to be submerged in water for nearly 4 months with 32 lbs of ALLEGED weight. Conner was found above the high tide line and water break. The MPD immediately gave out Scott's alibi Jan 2, the MPD publicized pictures of Scott's truck and boat "the criminologist and medical examiner, both State witnesses, to conclude that the twine could not have wrapped around Conner’s neck accidentally. As Dr. Cyril Wecht noted, "never in a million years." This proves that Conner was handled outside the womb". " His left ear was permanently flattened against the head and a rectangular piece of material was over the ear.  This could not have been kelp, as argued by the State, because Conner did not wash ashore.  Nor would kelp have the strength or the sticking power to permanently flatten the ear.  This is further evidence that Conner was handled outside the womb". "Laci's uterus was at least 10 cm (3.9 inches) smaller than it should have been, explaining why the incision to remove Conner was not visible on her body, and the injured 9th rib (another postmortem injury) is in the same location where such an incision would have been made" At least by Jan 5, the MPD publicized that Scott motored to the from the Berkeley Marina to Brooks Island, and even published a map of the area Testimony from Drs. March and Jeanty explains that Conner died between December 29 and January 3 Testimony from Dr. Galloway estimates Laci could have lived until January 14 The shoreline in the area of Scott's fishing route has several places where a car could just pull up along the shoreline and heave a body into the water The searches at the Bay were not 24/7; that shoreline was not under constant surveillance; many days there were no searches going on; the shoreline was just as accessible at night as it was during the day The bodies washed ashore along that same shoreline

  14. Research the facts. I doubt you know even a tiny fraction about the case. Let alone what Janey Peterson knows. The MPD hid information from the public and the defense.

  24. @simcast  Look at what most jurors cited as evidence of his guilt. Where the bodies were found. Yet there is not a shred of evidence Laci was dumped in the bay and there 32 lbs would submerge the body. It would just float. He also said the currents would likely take the body out to sea. She was found nearly 4 months later. How do currents flowing Southbound at 4 knots place either body where they were found genius? Laci would likely still be alive today if police did their job and followed the actual evidence, tips and sightings instead of just pursuing the husband and ignoring crucial evidence. He didn't dump her body in the bay. It just didn't happen. He had a 14' boat. He was seen at the marina by three people. Does it sound logical that a guy is going to kill his wife and take the chance of dumping her body in broad daylight. He needs to back the boat down the ramp and leave it there for anyone to see in broad daylight including anyone from the hundreds of people that live on their boats all year round. There was no forensic evidence, eyewitnesses, video surveillance etc ever proving the States theory. We even have the SF Medical examiner (Boyd Stevens) explaining to the lead detective that it would be highly unlikely that 32 lbs would submerge the body. It would just float. He also said the currents would likely take the body out to sea. She was found nearly 4 months later. How do currents flowing Southbound at 4 knots place either body where they were found. Conner was even found above the high tide line and water break. Full term, tape stuck to his ear and plastic wrap knotted around his neck that had to be cut off, not far from a plastic bag which was never tested.

  55.  @QT1nnakno  Medical examiner currents GERAGOS: Okay. Now, when you talked to Boyd Stephens, he also told you and he was the San Francisco, or still is the San Francisco Medical Examiner. He told you that in cases previously where bodies have bloated with decomposition, that they pulled as much as eighty pounds of weight up with the body surfacing in the Bay, correct? GROGAN: Yes. GERAGOS: Okay. And, once again, you gave him, and this would have been on April 2nd, of 2003. You gave him the hypothetical of the chicken wire, right? GROGAN: Yes, sir. GERAGOS: Okay. And he told you that the water flow southbound was at four knots, right? GROGAN: In one particular area we were talking about, yes. GERAGOS: Okay. And he also said that, in his opinion, thirty pound of weights would not likely be enough to cause a female of that weight, especially wrapped in plastic causing additional buoyancy in the plastic to immediately go to the bottom, correct? GROGAN: Yes, that's one of the things he said. GERAGOS: And he said victim would likely have traveled with the currents for a considerable distance before any exposed weights could catch something on the bottom, or the current would allow the object to stay in one place long enough for the weights to begin to sink in the mud. GROGAN: Yes. When talking about the Richmond Turning Basin area, there. GERAGOS: If it had made it to deeper waters, it's possible the body would still be in pristine condition, right? GROGAN: Yes, sir.
