How? Cops have the ability to determine our innocence and guilt on a dime and plant evidence in or against our favor. The cops happened to like the burglars more than they liked Scott so Scott went to jail and they didn’t
Anonymous wrote:The prosecution’s only piece of physical evidence is a single hair which somehow became two hairs when Detective Brocchini and Detective Hendee opened the evidence envelope in February 2003. The chain of custody of this hair is very suspicious as is the mitochondrial DNA testing of the hair sample. It is also suspicious that Detective Brocchini kept Laci’s blue-black hairbrush in his desk drawer for some time after it was collected during the search warrant of December 26-27.
Distaso falsely states that the hair was wrapped around the pliers even though Detective Hendee who collected the hair says definitely that the hair did not wrap around the pliers.

Anonymous wrote:The prosecution did not put Deanna Renfro, the woman who sold the watch to the pawn shop, on as a witness because MPD ignored her connection to Laci’s disappearance. If they had investigated her thoroughly, they would have found a link between her family and that of Steven Todd, the burglar, and her family and the Medinas. Deanna Renfro was not investigated because Scott was the one and only focus of this investigation within 24 hours of Laci’s disappearance. MPD knew this watch was missing early in the investigation because Scott gave this information to Chris Boyer during the search warrant December 26-27; and Craig Grogan definitely learned about it on December 30, 2002, during his taped phone conversation with Scott. However, the only information about this very significant piece of evidence that was given to the defense in discovery was the pawn slip—no reports, no follow-up information.
Distaso makes it appear that the pawn shop people who testified were the ones involved in the transaction with Deanna Renfro and the Croton watch. They were not. They were involved in a totally separate transaction with Laci and Scott involving other jewelry that Laci had inherited from her grandmother.
Scott and Laci tried to sell the Croton watch on e-bay, but they were not successful. Distaso suggests that he’s sure they sold the watch when there is no evidence to support such a claim.
Laci inherited 2 gold watches from her grandmother. The one that she had repaired and wore to the Christmas party was recovered at the Peterson house during the search of December 26-27. Laci was not wearing that watch on the day she disappeared. She was wearing the Croton watch which was never recovered.

It’s ridiculous the stuff they came up with. They just didn’t like Scott. The entire family originally thought she was alive and maybe went into labor and was at a local hospital. Even Sharon Rocha, Lacis mom, criticized the cops and the reporters who implied foul play. The family thought Laci went into labor prematurely.
I think he's guilty, but if for some reason he didn't get a fair trial then he should get one. However, I agree with you that there are dozens of nonsensical tidbits that people cling to as a reason for his guilt.
He had one of the best legal defense teams. He got a fair trial, he just didn’t like the outcome.
He didn’t get a fair trial whatsoever. The judge was on the side of the prosecution and ignored all the defense witnesses who saw Laci arguing with men by a strange van. Many witnesses were adamant they saw Laci walking the dog that morning and she was wearing black pants not beige pants like the pants she was discovered dead in. Scott also told cops the night Laci went missing that she was wearing black pants. The missing person reports from December all said Laci was last seen wearing black maternity pants.
When she was found in the Bay in April, she was for some reason wearing beige pants which confused the officers but they made the assumption Scott probably killed her on the evening of the 23rd when Laci was wearing beige pants at her sister Amy’s hair salon. How would Scott remember what was on Martha Stewart that morning if he killed Laci the evening before? Was he just an avid Martha fan?
Laci’s sister Amy also Identified those beige pants from December 23rd at Laci’s house early on in the investigation in February before Laci’s body was found.
The pants Laci was found in were beige capris not long beige pants like the ones Amy said Laci wore. The capris track more with an April death and it implies Laci was kidnapped and gave birth.
It’s hard to believe she wore beige capris on a cold Christmas Eve walk with the dog. All the witnesses who said they saw a pregnant woman walking a golden retriever said she was wearing long black pants.
She was 5’1”. Her pants are short. They were just her pants from the 23rd.
Yes, there was probably a woman walking a dog with black pants on.
How did Scott correctly guess lemon meringue was made on the Martha Stewart show on the morning of the 24th? On their home computer, someone logged in at 8:45am and went to yahoo! shopping to look up a red scarf and sunflower umbrella stand. Scott did all this?
It would be building his alibi.
Would it also build his alibi to leave a mop and bucket in the kitchen, tell cops he went fishing and washed clothes that day?
Scott wasn’t building any alibi. He was telling the truth about the day, but he didn’t know his actions and his calm demeanor worked against him. Scott said he was thinking by staying calm and acting friendly and giving cops water he’d be helping them take / investigate Laci’s disappearance more seriously. He miscalculated.
He kept hearing from witnesses that they saw Laci walking the dog and arguing with burglars. Scott kept pushing the cops about the burglars but the cops cleared them by polygraph supposedly very early on.
Oh well. Scott could have cleared himself by polygraph but refused. Guilty is as guilty does.
Scott was advised by his father not to. He has a history of cheating and lying. I don’t blame him for refusing to take a polygragh especially by those cops. They already were biased and thought he did it. They wouldn’t have asked the questions or done the test fairly. Polygraphs are not accurate anyway.
The cops were upset Scott and his dad wouldn’t play their game and also wanted to hire private detectives
Oh, boo hoo. The only one playing a game was Scott.

There was zero evidence SCOTT DID IT.
Fishermen at the marina said they saw right inside Scott’s boat that day and they didn’t see any blue tarp or anchors.
The prosecution created fake police “tips” that the boat was at the marina late night on the 23rd. Zero evidence of that and even more unlikely he’d take his first ride on that boat late at night. Even more unlikely, he’d browse the web and watch Martha Stewart to pretend Laci’s alive that morning but then tell the cops later that evening the exact spot where he went fishing.
That wouldn’t make sense
Except when he told Amber his wife was dead, dyed his hair, and fled toward Mexico with a large amount of cash. Other than that there was zero evidence. Okay.
