[quote=Anonymous]Detective Hendee testified in court that he wanted to attempt a reenactment of a weighted body being dumped out of the boat, but neither the police nor prosecution ever tried.. The judge did not allow the jury to see the defense’s unsuccessful re-enactment on a fishing boat.

Another unsuccessful attempt was made by trial watcher, Phil Devan. His weighed down dummy floated when it was pitched overboard. A third unsuccessful experiment was shown on Court TV. In that video the “Scott” lost his balance and fell into the water. Unfortunately, these two videos are no longer available to watch on the internet.

The manufacturer of the boat also testified about the stability testing on the boat. They begin the test, with some water in the boat and then evenly distribute 142 pounds evenly along the side of the boat. Under these circumstances in an indoor pool (no wind, no current) the back corner of the boat was over an inch under water (See exhibit D5D 5). An engineer from the boat manufacturer said the boat would be less stable with out the water in it. For Scott to dump a body out of this boat, there would have been close to 385 pounds at the edge of the boat; Scott weighed around 200 pounds, Laci weighed 153 pounds, and the 4 alleged ‘anchors’ weighed around 32 pounds. As shown by the video above, the increase in weight at the edge of the boat resulted in the back right end of the boat sinking.
