"So so sad...
whoa!!! what made you change colours??
Are you ok Kathyrn?
"I changed the colors because I got bored and though a new look might be in order!)" LOL
At first, since I don't notice the difference in the board's colors, I thought Betty and Yourself were discussing the Laci Peterson murder via email and you had a change of opinion about the case against Scott Peterson, since there are so many unusual legal questions popping up surrounding the events, when Betty mentioned "what made you change colours?" Somehow, I read into her question the phrase and figure of speech, "What made you change your colors?" HA HA on me.
Anyway, it's so sad that Laci would have been 28 on the day scheduled for her funeral and Scott may, in fact, be entitled to attend some portion of her memorial service.
That being said, I think it's a bad idea for the prosecution to turn this possible trial a capital case and, according to this article, drag out the proceedings for 10-15 years and cost the taxpayers millions of dollars they don't have. Scott's legal team is fresh off of defending former Rep. Gary Condit, and is experienced in muddying the waters of a, supposedly, air-tight case.
Family of Laci Peterson Plans Funeral
Wed Apr 23, 3:59 PM ET
By JIM WASSERMAN, Associated Press Writer
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Family members of slaying victim Laci Peterson secluded themselves to plan a funeral for her and her unborn son, as her teaching colleagues recalled her bubbly spirit.
Her accused husband Scott Peterson remained in jail, meanwhile, facing what experts say could be years of legal proceedings.
Peterson, 30, pleaded innocent Monday to murdering his wife and unborn son who disappeared on Christmas Eve. Their bodies washed ashore last week in San Francisco Bay, three miles from where he said he was fishing.
The remains were being held at the Contra Costa County Coroner's office as forensic experts tried to determine a cause of death.
Contra Costa Sheriff's officials said funeral dates depend on whether they can soon pinpoint precisely how Laci Peterson died. Her relatives said a funeral or formal memorial services could be two weeks away.
A forensic anthropologist from the University of California at Santa Cruz "will exhaust all procedures to reach a determination," sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said Tuesday. He said there was a possibility that authorities may never know how she died.
Kari Shack, who worked with Laci Peterson in Modesto, remembered the 27-year-old mom-to-be as an energetic teacher who connected easily with students even though she was a substitute.
"She adored the kids, and I think they felt that," Shack told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday.
Prosecutors plan to decide by May 19 whether to seek the death penalty against Scott Peterson, a fertilizer salesman. District Attorney Jim Brazelton said he hopes for a July preliminary hearing to present evidence necessary to take Peterson to trial, but conceded it could take up to two years before a trial begins.
Some murder cases, legal experts said, can take three to five years to go to trial.
Peterson, represented by a public defender after an abrupt split last weekend with his private attorney, has a May 6 bail hearing to consider if he will be freed while awaiting his evidentiary hearing and possible trial. Prosecutors intend to argue against bail, Brazelton said.
Tim Bazar, Peterson's court-appointed attorney, did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
Brazelton alleged that Peterson killed his wife at their Modesto home late Dec. 23 or early Dec. 24. He also claimed a special double-murder circumstance, allowing him to consider seeking the death penalty.
That could trigger a change in the trial location and bring on 10 to 15 years of legal proceedings, common in capital punishment cases, experts said.
