I love the part of Scott's story where he says when Laci found out about Amber "she was OK with it." Yeah, Right! Women all over the world I am sure find this a bit hard to swallow, not to mention women who are carrying the unborn baby of the creep who would do such a thing! :mad: My first thoughts were that he killed her by accident in the midst of a quarrel when he "fessed up" about Amber, but then there does seem to be a lot of other things that lead one to believe in premeditation.
Not to mention that Laci wouldn't confide in at least one person about the affair.
Amber called the house,
Laci picked up the phone-figured out what
was going on and went off on Scott.
It went physical and Scott either killed her accidentally or hit her and thought that he'd go to jail for that so he snuffed her.
One thing that sticks in my mind is the fact that family/friends said that she wasn't the kind of person that would be 'o.k.' with an affair.
The interesting part of this case is the way that the prosecutors will present the evidence and trying to tie Scott to the murder....
a daunting job at best.
Richard, that was the way I was thinking early on but so many questions are still left unanswered. For example, why did he buy a boat and tell no one about it? (Did he have some special use in mind for it)? Why did he tell Amber that he was a widower (before he actually was)? These things definitely *hint* at a plan here in my opinion.Quote:

My 'man senses' start to tingle....
he bought the boat to 'go fishing'..
As in, "Laci, I'm going fishing for the weekend".. drag the boat to Amber's house, "Oh I was going fishing but I thought I'd spend time with you...." OR "I am going to stop off and do some fishing on the way home."
The 'dead wife scenario' is just a way to have cake and not worry about AF finding out about her..
This may come as a shock to people but.... MEN LIE!!!!
And I think it was advantageous to him to lie about his wife...
Men use the dead partner to gain favor (and other stuff) from women.
I don't think that he planned to kill her......He seems like the kind of guy that would jerk a gal around and then leave her when the
going got tough.....
I know this will sound kinda raw but...
Most of her friends and family stated that Laci was 'vocal' and 'would not put up with Scott cheating'....I think she may have
been in Scott's face AFTER the alleged phone call by AF to their home.....He had cheated three times before......
Could there have been a thought that a child would improve the
marriage? Stop the cheating? Also, LP put a lot of effort into the marriage to make it look PERFECT.....Their friends stated that they
were the perfect couple.......but I have yet to meet a perfect couple......
And to make sure that every women hates me.......
I think that pregnancy may have had an effect on her general outllook on SP's affair......How can a man with a wife who is ready to pop even think of having an affair....
Rhetorical question.....
:confused:
Ok, so if it wasn't premeditated, what's up with studying the tides of the bay for months and making anchors way ahead of time?
He was surfing????:confused:Quote:

he had to make it look like he WAS going fishing...
Remember, he has to make up alibi for leaving Laci for a few days at a time.....
The home comp histories are there....if you know where to look for them.....If she was comp saavy she'd see he was looking for the charts and thinking that he was totally into it.
two anchors are used to keep your boat in one position if he wanted to stay in one spot..
you put your bow into the current and drop one on each side....think of the letter 'y'- the upper arms are where the anchors go, the boat is the
bottom leg of the letter.
the answer lies in IF the boat already HAD an anchor. I hadn't heard...
What doesn't make sense to me is why would you dump the body where you know the cops are going to look???
All the evidence is circumstancial...
Remember they were STILL looking in the channel right up to the time they picked him up-and i don't remember hearing about the cops finding the cement in the boat...That would have been some evidence against him.
The almost "perfect murder" wouldn't happen around water.
It's so simple Matlock, Ironside and Columbo wouldn't get it!!
I am just playing devil's advocate...
And you were playing it so well that for a minute I thought you might work for Geragos' law firm. :pQuote:

lol....
told you I was evil....
Is it more money?:eek:
Well, I cheated....I look at things from the man's standpoint...:rolleyes:
The TOUGHEST PART about THIS one is - remember that MOST of the evidence in and around the home belongs there because the victim lived there.
That's why the cops needed the anchors.
Even then, another piece of evidence that came out was when the cops looked at the boat it had no traces of seawater on it..
So how did he get the body out to the middle of the channel?
That makes no sense.........
I can't remember if there were witnesses at the marina that saw him in his boat...
Of course, everything so far is rumor and conjecture..
Take what you hear and think about it.....put yourself in their
shoes..and think about what's rational, irrational and what you
would do.
If I need a Gal (Officer) Friday will you apply???
da da da DA
da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
:cool: Just the facts, ma'am.
Well Richard you certainly have put your thinking cap on, but I think it's going to take more for me to be able to think of him as anything but guilty. Time will tell, and the trial will be an interesting one for sure.
Do you watch Larry King on a regular basis? He has his usual panel discussions with some of his "regulars" and Mark Geragos used to be one of them before he took this case. Back in those days Geragos called this case a slam dunk for the prosection. I think Nancy Grace is awesome and would certainly want her on my side. My hubby says she is tough as nails! ha! Henry Lee (OJ fame) is often a regular, as is Johnny Cochran now, Judge Piero (sp?) and sometimes Jeffrey Fieger (from Kevorkian fame). It makes for interesting viewing and gives us a hint, at times, of the prosecution's case. Hold onto your hat, we are in for a long ride with this one!
Blackwood, New Jersey-
You are on the air....
I do watch LK often.....
The one place where I HAVE to disagree is on Nancy Grace..
I get more pleasure out of chewing on aluminum foil...;)
She is smart-but her histrionics leave me yelling at the set...I understand her passion and views.
For example, when I hear them argue the merits of, and give so much credibility to a pair of pliers with the hair stuck on them, it makes me laugh...
You can argue that one away pretty easily....
He's guilty as sin and I have no problem saying that.......It's just the DA's coming out and
doing the 'slam dunk' and 'in the bag' news conferences...
Instead of a slam dunk we have to watch the WHOLE GAME....The news/media has alot to do with it and there are too many people that play to the cameras.
Which leads me to the next reality show....
Court TV makeovers!!!
Marsha Clark and Chris Darden will pick and primp an unsuspecting barrister - give them a total makeover after a case. They will then retry the case with their 'new look' with a different jury!!!
;)
LOL! I knew you couldn't remain serious for too long! :D My hubby feels much the same way you do about Nancy Grace although I do think he probably enjoys looking at her! :rolleyes: LOL!Quote:

Regarding the pliers with the hair - The other night LK had Mark Fuhrman on (a remnant from the OJ debacle) and he made a pretty good case. He challenged every man viewing to go immediately to their tool boxes, wherever they may be, and check for any hairs stuck in their pliers. He said he doubted there would be a single one. Now I know that he doesn't have lots of fans out there, but that did get a laugh out of me. By the way, he got a raw deal on the OJ case if you ask me. But then, no one asked me. :p

Me??? Serious??? Only when I have too!!
Yes, I saw that program! MF has a point.....
Would it be SP's luck that he is the only one in the US with his wife's hair in his pliers????
:rolleyes:
I don't think so....
The NG 'look' that I enjoy the most is the head tilt forward and and the wrinkly eyebrows....
check it out!!!
:)
Thanks for letting me be the "devil"...
As you said, I'll hang on to my hat and wait to see what happens!!!
I have been following this case on and off on the Court TV website
Only when life, work and Pet Talk are slow ;)
It's the obsession here. It is in our front page every single day. I don't even bother reading about it much anymore. You can get quite a bit of info from www.modbee.com too. They have a whole Laci section.
