A "blooker" is a book based on a blog. This author blogged about the Scott Peterson case and added her opinions to the cold facts of the case, adding some humorous observations about some of the more outrageous aspects, and people, of the case. She really dislikes Scott's attorney Geragos can't say I blame her and spares no one's feelings when she feels things are getting out of hand in the investigation and trial. You won't get all the fact here as you would in the Catherine Crier book, but you will get some spicy commentary and a few laugh-out-loud moments from the author's asides.

I liked the common sense approach the author used in assessing Scott Peterson's guilt and how physical evidence is not the only road to a guilty verdict when the circumstantial evidences are too numerous to be mere coincidence. I only deducted one star for the last few chapters seeming to be added as an afterthought and felt like should have been placed sooner in the book.

Peterson's trial began on June 1, , [37] and was followed closely by the media. The lead prosecutor was Rick Distaso. Geragos led Peterson's defense. Prosecution witness Frey engaged her own attorney, Gloria Allred , to represent her. Allred was not bound by the gag order imposed on those involved in the trial.

She appeared frequently on television news programs during the trial. Peterson's defense lawyers based their case on the lack of direct evidence and played down the significance of circumstantial evidence.

He added two pornographic television channels to his cable service only days after his wife's disappearance. Peterson expressed interest in selling the house he had shared with Laci, [51] and sold her Land Rover. Rick Cheng, a hydrologist with the United States Geological Survey and an expert witness on tides of the San Francisco Bay , testified as a witness for the prosecution.

During cross-examination , Cheng admitted that his findings were "probable, not precise. As the trial progressed, the prosecution opened discussion of Peterson's affair with Frey and the contents of their taped telephone calls. The defense argued that a prostitute who was accused of stealing checks from Peterson's mailbox might have murdered Laci, but Modesto police detective Mike Hermosa did not indicate that the woman was ever a suspect in her disappearance.

Prosecutor Dave Harris noted that the checks were stolen after she vanished, meaning the woman was not involved in her disappearance. Charles March was expected to be a crucial witness for the defense, one who, according to the San Francisco Chronicle , could single-handedly exonerate Peterson by showing that Laci's fetus died a week after prosecutors claimed.

Under cross-examination, March admitted basing his findings on an anecdote from one of Laci's friends that she had taken a home pregnancy test on June 9, When prosecutors pointed out that no medical records relied on the June 9 date, March became flustered and confused on the stand and asked a prosecutor to cut him "some slack", undermining his credibility. Summing up this key defense witness, Stan Goldman, a criminal law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles said, "There were moments today that reminded me of Chernobyl. The prosecution presented Peterson's affair with Frey and financial problems as motives for the murder.

Prosecutors surmised that he killed Laci due to increasing debt and a desire to be single again.

On March 16, Judge Alfred A. In later press appearances, members of the jury stated that they felt that Peterson's demeanor—specifically his lack of emotion and the phone calls to Frey in the days following Laci's disappearance—indicated that he was guilty.

They based their verdict on "hundreds of small 'puzzle pieces' of circumstantial evidence that were revealed during the trial, from the location of Laci's body to the myriad lies her husband told after her disappearance". The jury decided on the death penalty because they felt that Peterson betrayed his responsibility to protect his wife and son. Peterson's automatic appeal was filed in the California Supreme Court on July 5, He was reported not to have slept the night before, being too "jazzed" to sleep.

Cliff Gardner, Peterson's attorney, stated that the publicity surrounding the trial, incorrect evidentiary rulings, and other mistakes deprived Peterson of a fair trial. In November , the defense filed a habeas corpus petition, claiming that a juror lied on her jury application, and that there was evidence that neighbors saw Laci alive after Scott left home.

Supervising Deputy Attorney General Donna Provenzano stated that the timeline of the crime was established by the neighbor who found the Petersons' Golden Retriever wandering in the street with its leash still attached, before the sightings of Laci and her dog.
