Couldn't she have sustained broken ribs after she was deceased?
Yes, it's unknown whether the injuries were from before her murder, or while she was rolling around at the bottom of the ocean. It's odd though that her rib bones were broken and no other bones were broken. The dismemberment was at joints that are connected with tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue, so there are no broken bones except her ribs.
There is, however, no question that whomever murdered her did everything possible to duct tape the baby to her body. Who would want to ensure that the unborn baby and mom remained duct taped together at the bottom of the ocean? The robbers?
Do you really think that the robbers told police a story and they accepted it at face value?
I don't. I don't believe the police would let them get away with murder if they saw any connection to Laci. I also don't believe the police have the time or inclination to thoroughly explain every detail about why they dismissed other investigative leads. That absence of information is what drives some people into a nutty frenzy assuming the police are hiding something or at least didn't investigate properly.

Would it make sense the ribs would have broken when she was transferred over the edge of the boat?
Order?
1. Her body dragged to the back laundry room door, lifted and carried to back of truck.
2. Pulled from truck, carried and set in boat.
3. Lifted and tossed into water or pushed over edge.

Exactly. In fact, if police had revealed who they interviewed in relation to the robbery, those people would still be ripped to pieces on the internet today.

I suppose there were many opportunities for Scott to have broken her ribs. He most likely murdered her before the pizza was cold.
He could have broken her ribs during the attack, the following morning after rigor mortise had set in when he had to stuff her into his truck [and before he allegedly did something with the "mortiser" at the warehouse], or at the time that he heaved her body over one of the edges of the boat. I'm doubtful that broken ribs were a result of rolling with the waves at the bottom of the ocean.

I'm having a bit of trouble believing that her ribs were broken due to her "rolling around at the bottom of the ocean." If a body is weighted down as theorized, it wouldn't move terribly much aside from the shifting current. If we're going to throw out scenarios, I think it could have happened when the body was pushed over the side of the boat. Remember, prosecutors stated the body was weighted so you have to add an additional 40 lbs to the body weight. That would create a lot of pressure to the edge of the boat. Enough to break ribs? Maybe. Maybe not. I tend to think it occurred after death.
I'm still of the believe that Conner was a coffin birth. I believe he remained inside the womb, protected from the elements until deterioration created enough gas to expel the baby from the stomach.

Gruesome to think about but it's one theory.
There was also a cut on her torso, also presumably post death related.
that's a lot of "maybes". Do you realize how rare kidnappings are?? Name one pregnant lady that has been kidnapped in the USA.
Most missing women don't make the news, unless they are white. I'm just being honest here. But yes, pregnant women do go missing.
Laci Peterson was a white woman. Her family also wanted to keep the story going in the media, 24/7. Same thing with Natalee Holloway (although she wasn't pregnant).
