Scott said when he left, Laci was watching Martha Stewart. The detective asked what the topic was, and he said something about meringue. In court, the prosecution said they'd reviewed the video and there was no mention of meringue.
Geragos got up, and played a portion of the show he'd obtained from the producer, and there was a part about meringue. Embarrassing for the prosecution. Like, someone couldn't watch an hour long show and listen for a discussion of meringue down there at headquarters?
So. What are the odds that Scott killed Laci, was making preparations to dispose of her body, and then he watches Martha Stewart?
There are those who will say so he would be able to tell the detective that Laci was alive and well.
But really. To mastermind the murder with that level of detail, you'd think he could come up with a better plan than to dump her remains where he said he was that day.
If he was framed, and that's a big if, the entire country knew he was in the San Francisco bay that day, it would have been easy to frame him. Again the media screwed this case from the start.
Exactly! How does it serve Scott in any way to lie about what Laci was wearing?
The only thing I can think is if he saw a pregnant woman in black pants in the park as he was leaving that morning. The best lie is one that has some facts to support it, so I suppose he could have remembered seeing another preg woman and described her when asked about Laci's attire. Of course this is pure speculation. But it would be a good reason to lie.
If you click on this map and then click on the bird's eye view you can get a good idea of how the land lays. The black dot is the Peterson residence.
The dog was not in the Medina yard. The dog was found on the street and put into the back yard before the Medina couple left their house for vacation.
The timeline for the dog being placed in the yard is supported with receipts.
Sorry, the street adjacent to the Medinas driveway.

Weird that the Peterson's dog didn't bark at the mailman that day. A dog who the mailman has stated has a history of getting out of his yard and being confrontational towards him didn't even bark even though he had to have been in the yard according to the official timeline.
Quote:
The neighborhood's mail carrier, recalled* that the Peterson's dog would sometimes get out
of the backyard and, being territorial, interfere with mail delivery to the Peterson's home.
Graybill did not recall the dog bothering him on December 24, 2002, when Laci disappeared.
Graybill said he, too, noticed nothing odd, adding that dogs were barking at him as usual. Every dog,
he said, except for the Petersons' golden retriever, McKenzie, who did not bark as he usually does.
The mail carrier was there between 10:35 and 10:50 that day.

Right, she could of changed her clothes anyway, besides my wife just went to the store, I have no idea what she was wearing.
This is such a great thread, I don't really see anyone being ignorant or mean to other posters differeing opinions on what happened. Seeing an adult conversation on this forum is rare.
The question I guess should be is there enough here or anywhere to have the case appealed? My guess is no, no one wants to admit mistakes were made, or that the trial was unfair.
I would love to see what Greg Jackson ( the original Foreman) had to say about this whole thing. He has all the notes. Maybe if he really thought Scott was railroaded he'd speak up, it could be his silence is deafening, since he was one who allegedly thought Scott was innocent.

You've left some details out. The mail carrier's testimony was that McKenzie would bark if he/she was out in the front yard, and that only happened if the gate was open.
When Graybill arrived, McKenzie was in the backyard, by him/herself, and the gate was closed.

I haven't read anything to support the claim that she knew about the boat. Do you have a link for that quote?
This was pointed out a week ago, post #1122. Read the testimony from Det. Brocchini. Peggy O'Donnell saw Laci at the warehouse sometime between the 20th and 23rd.
Now, if you'd like to try and make a reasonable argument that Laci being physically present at the warehouse doesn't necessarily mean she actually saw/knew about the boat, be my guest. You're only throwing your own credibility out the window, as we would all then have to believe that Scott deliberately took Laci to his warehouse for some inescapable reason, where he was storing a boat he didn't want her to know about, and apparently didn't open the bay door or allow her to see inside at all. It's a ridiculous notion.

Scott lied about many things, some lies served him well temporarily, others just didn't make sense.
Isn't it correct Laci was seen in black pants and white top at the spa on the 23rd before changing and going to the salon? Perhaps, he was recollecting what she wore the morning before if she wasn't even alive and dressed on the 24th.
If Scott killed Laci on the evening of the 23rd when she was wearing cream colored Capri pants, he wouldn't want to say she was wearing the same pants the next morning since that would be an obvious clue that she likely didn't even undress on the evening of the 23rd.
Remember, Scott didn't expect Laci to ever be found, which is why he didn't have a problem proving he was at the Berkeley Marina, or saying she was wearing black pants and a white t-shirt.
