Question Mark

Well, here we are into the 8th day of the preliminary hearing for Scott Peterson, who stands accused of murdering his wife, Laci, and unborn son. What we know for certain is:
  • he was having an affair with Amber Frye
  • he had a boat about which other family members were unaware
  • he had a secret mailbox for correspondence rented the day Laci disappeared
  • the house was clean when police first arrived to investigate her disappearance
  • he asked about "cadaver dogs" only 1 day into the search for Laci
  • he sold Laci's car not long after she disappeared
  • he dyed his hair blonde, had a fake ID, $10,000 cash, and a rented car only 20 miles from the border with Mexico
  • Scott claims that Laci walked the dog while he went fishing...on Christmas Eve
  • the body of an adult female and infant washed up less than 2 miles from the spot where Scott claims he was fishing
There are other facts that I don't have memorized right now; I don't see any current news links, either. I'll edit one in tomorrow.

His defense team, headed by Mark Gallagos (of the O.J. trial fame), has suggested that a Satanic cult took Laci. Now they are claiming that the police have "rushed to judgement", despite the fact that in many cases when a murder victim is married the spouse is the murderer. Of course, DNA testing of a hair found in Scott's boat and the bodies that washed onto shore has been questioned in great detail.

If you know about the case, what do you think? Based on the evidence that has been released thus far, it certainly doesn't look promising for Scott. Time will tell.
