Recovery of Laci and Conner's remainsOn April 13, 2003, a couple walking their dog found the but well-preserved body of a late-term male fetus in a marshy area of the shore in park, north of Berkeley. Its was still attached. Although a judge sealed autopsy results, an anonymous source revealed that 1.5 loops of nylon tape were found around the fetus's neck and a significant cut was on the fetus' body.One day later, a passerby found the torso of a recently pregnant woman, wearing beige pants and a maternity bra, on the eastern shore of the bay, along a rocky shoreline of the same park, one mile away from where the baby's body was found. The corpse was decomposed to the point of being almost unrecognizable as a human body, the head, arms, most of the legs and all the internal organs except for the uterus were missing.On April 18, 2003, the results of tests verified that the bodies were Laci Peterson and her son Conner. The autopsy on both bodies was performed by forensic pathologist Dr.
Brian Peterson (no relation to the Petersons). According to the autopsy, Conner's skin was not decomposed at all, though the right side of his body was mutilated, and the placenta and umbilical cord were not found with the body.
Laci's cervix was intact. The exact date and cause of Laci's death were never determined.

She had suffered two cracked ribs, though Dr. Peterson could not determine if this occurred before or after her death. Laci's upper torso had been emptied of internal organs except for the uterus, which protected the fetus, explaining the lower level of decomposition it experienced. Peterson determined that the fetus had been expelled from Laci's decaying body, though he could not determine whether it was alive or dead when this occurred.The discovery of the bodies created a greater sense of urgency for Brocchini and Buehler, who had put a tracker on Peterson's car.
Knowing that he was in San Diego at the time, they feared he would escape across the border to. Brocchini commented in 2017, 'I just thought, 'We've got to find Scott right now. He told me he was there and that’s where the bodies come up? I mean, I believe it was premeditated, he planned it. San Diego was pretty darn close to the Mexican border.
Scott knew the area pretty well. That's where his parents lived. That's where he lived. So it wasn't like he was going to have to get on to try and figure out a way to get to.' The and performed searches of Peterson's home.
The FBI also conducted testing on a hair from pliers found in Peterson's fishing boat that linked them with hairs recovered from Laci's hairbrush. The authorities also searched Peterson's pickup truck, toolbox, warehouse, and boat. After Peterson was arrested, police conducted further searches in the bay in an attempt to locate hand-made concrete they believe weighed down Laci's body while it was under water; nothing was found. ArrestPeterson was arrested on April 18, 2003, near a La Jolla. He claimed that he was meeting his father and brother for a game of golf.
His naturally dark brown hair had been dyed blond, and his was 'overstuffed' with miscellaneous items, including nearly $15,000 in cash, twelve tablets, survival gear, camping equipment, several changes of clothes, four cell phones, and his brother's, in addition to his own. Peterson's father explained that he used his brother's license the day before to get a San Diego resident discount at the golf course, and that Peterson had been living out of his car because of the media attention. However, police suspected these items were an indication that Peterson planned to flee to Mexico, an idea with which prosecutors would later concur.On April 21, 2003, Peterson was arraigned before Judge Nancy Ashley in Superior Court. He was charged with two counts of murder with premeditation and special circumstances: the first-degree of Laci, and the of Conner. He pleaded not guilty. TrialBefore his arraignment, Peterson had been represented by Kirk McAllister, a veteran criminal defense attorney from Modesto. Chief Deputy Kent Faulkner was also assigned to the case.
Peterson later indicated that he could afford a private attorney, namely, who had done other high-profile criminal defense work. On January 20, 2004, a judge changed the venue of the trial from Modesto to, because Peterson was the victim of increasing hostility in the Modesto area.Peterson's trial began on June 1, 2004, and was followed closely by the media. The lead prosecutor was. Geragos led Peterson's defense. In opening statements, Geragos claimed Peterson was 'a ' for cheating on Laci, but was not a murderer.Prosecution witness Frey engaged her own attorney, to represent her. Allred was not bound by the imposed on those involved in the trial.
Although she maintained that her client had no opinion about whether Peterson was guilty, Allred was openly sympathetic to the prosecution. She appeared frequently on television news programs during the trial.Prosecutors claimed Peterson made cement anchors to weight his wife's body down in San Francisco Bay, however no anchors were found when the Bay was searched, even though sonar could locate small objects on the sea floor.
The defense questioned whether the investigation was thorough; Modesto police Detective Mike Hermos admitted he did not check the alibi of a prostitute who was accused of stealing checks from Peterson's mailbox, but Hermos did not indicate that the woman was ever a suspect, and prosecutor Dave Harris noted that the checks were stolen after Laci vanished, precluding the woman from involvement in Laci's disappearance. A police community service officer testified that an interview with Peterson had no sound due to no batteries being put in a tape recorder. Other detectives were called to testify about the extensive search for evidence.Peterson's defense lawyers based their case on the lack of and played down the significance of. They suggested that the fetal remains were of a full-term infant and theorized that someone kidnapped Laci, held her until she gave birth, and then dumped both bodies in the bay. The prosecution's medical experts contended that the baby was not full term and died at the same time as his mother.Juror Frances Gorman was removed and replaced early in the trial due to.
Jury foreman and attorney Gregory Jackson later requested his own removal during jury deliberations, most likely because his fellow jurors wanted to replace him as foreman. Geragos told reporters that Jackson had mentioned threats he received when he requested to be removed from the jury. Jackson was replaced by an alternate.
EvidenceA single hair was the only piece of forensic evidence that was identified. The strand, thought to have been Laci's, was found in a pair of pliers on Peterson's boat.Presented as prosecution evidence during the trial was the fact that Peterson changed his appearance and purchased a vehicle using his mother's name in order to avoid recognition by the press. He added two television channels to his cable service only days after his wife's disappearance.
The prosecution stated that this meant he knew she would not be returning home. Peterson expressed interest in selling the house he had shared with Laci, and traded in her for a Dodge pick-up truck.Rick Cheng, a with the and an on tides of the, testified as a witness for the prosecution. During, Cheng admitted that his findings were 'probable, not precise.' Tidal systems are sufficiently chaotic, and he was unable to develop an exact of the bodies' disposal and travel. As the trial progressed, the prosecution opened discussion of Peterson's affair with Frey and the contents of their taped telephone calls.Charles March, a, was expected to be a crucial witness for the defense, one who, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, could single-handedly 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, 2002. 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 in said, 'There were moments today that reminded me of.' According to one newspaper account about March's testimony, 'By the end of his testimony Thursday, legal analysts and jurors closed their notebooks, rolled their eyes, and snickered when they thought no one was looking'. MotiveThe prosecution presented Peterson's affair with Frey, financial problems and his impending fatherhood as motives for the murder, surmising that he killed Laci due to increasing debt, and a desire to be single again. Verdict and sentencing. Where Peterson is incarceratedOn November 12, 2004, the jury convicted Peterson of two counts of murder: first-degree murder with special circumstances for killing Laci, and second-degree murder for killing the fetus she carried.
The of the trial began on November 30, and concluded December 13, when the jury rendered a sentence of death. On March 16, Judge followed the jury verdict, sentencing Peterson to death by and ordering him to pay $10,000 toward the cost of Laci's funeral, calling the murder of Laci 'cruel, uncaring, heartless, and callous'.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.On October 21, 2005, a judge ruled that proceeds from a $250,000 life insurance policy Peterson took out on Laci would go to Laci's mother, which was reaffirmed by the Fifth District Court of Appeal on October 21, 2005. Peterson's automatic appeal was filed in the California Supreme Court on July 5, 2012.Peterson arrived at in the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 17, 2005. He was reported not to have slept the night before, being too 'jazzed' to sleep. He joined the more than 700 other inmates in California's sole facility while his case is on automatic appeal to the.In September 2006, former congressman sent a letter to the California Attorney General and other officials arguing that Laci Peterson had been killed by members of a, not by Peterson.
AppealOn July 6, 2012, Peterson's attorney, Cliff Gardner, filed a 423-page appeal of Peterson's sentence, stated that the publicity surrounding the trial, incorrect evidentiary rulings, and other mistakes deprived Peterson of a fair trial. The 's office filed their response brief on January 26, 2015.
The defense filed a response to the State's brief in July 2015, claiming that a certified dog that detected Laci's scent at Berkeley Marina had failed two-thirds of tests with similar conditions.In November 2015, the defense filed a petition, claiming that a juror lied on her jury application, and that there was evidence that neighbors saw Laci alive after Scott left home. On August 10, 2017, the State Attorney General responded to the appeal by filing a 150-page document contesting the notion disputing the claims put forward in the appeal, stating that the appeal ignored 'overwhelming evidence' that Peterson murdered Laci.
Supervising Deputy Attorney General Donna Provenzano stated that the timeline of the crime was established by the neighbor who found the Petersons' Golden Retriever, McKenzie, wandering in the street with its leash still attached, before the sightings of Laci and her dog. Provenzano also indicated, 'Purported sightings of Laci were legion,' noting 74 reported sightings in 26 states and overseas, most of which she stated, were neither viable nor corroborated.In August 2018, the defense filed a reply, the sixth brief filed. The brief included six claims of 'deficient performance” by trial attorney Mark Geragos, such as failing to call experts in fetal growth, dog scent, how bodies move in water, stating that he would call witnesses but failing to follow through on this, and failing to properly address burglary evidence.
The game currently has six seasons: the player begins the game as rookie police officer in the Police Department, partnered with a detective named Jones to solve all sorts of gruesome murders in the city. Along the way, you and Jones have to contend with various quirky, shady, and outright bizarre characters, including the bumbling beat cop Ramirez, the prostitute Ginger, the mob boss Tony Marconi, and the business mogul Alden Greene.
After 56 Cases, the setting then moves on to Pacific Bay, where the player works with two different partners — Detective Frank Knight and Officer Amy Young — to assist the Pacific Bay Police Department in managing the rising crime rate in the city. 59 cases later, the player is invited by Jack Archer to join The Bureau, an International Law Enforcement agency that deals with various crimes from all over the world.

Chief King.I see.
Well, Justice should apply to everyone. I am very impressed with your integrity, (player's rank and name). The case with Chief King as a suspect shows that even members of the PD are not exempt from becoming suspects themselves. In fact, all members of the Pacific Bay PD except Amy have been flagged as suspects in at least one case by the end of Season 2. Case 56 of Pacific Bay illustrates this with 4 out of the 5 suspects note Frank, Russell, Hannah, and Roxie being members of the police department.

Note Jack, Carmen, Chief Ripley, Angela, and Elliot It's Angela.: Several murderers have motives that are eye-rollingly petty, if not. Case in point, the murderer of Case 58 from Mysteries of the Past, who claims that it was unfair that her victim got a promotion in the telegraph office and had a rich husband while she had not despite supposedly being 'better than her' and who turned to murder in order to 'fix the personal injustice in her life'.: There are five so far. Serena Johnson is a fairly straight example.
Her son Howard is the mayor, and she pretty much controls what he does from the sidelines. Barbara Pickley from Pacific Bay Case 4 is more unusual.
She's a man-hating feminist who only had a son. She loves but despises him, lets him grow up to be a manchild (because she doesn't think men can be more than that), and lavishes all her attention on her daughter-in-law Susan. She introduces Susan to feminism, and murders her after she deviates from her narrow definition of it. Marina Romanova's mother Natasha was hinted to be corrupt by her own daughter, who was nearly killed while uncovering a corruption scandal in the past. Marina's suspicions were confirmed when Natasha had Yelena Tereshkova kill Vitaly Borodin and launch a satellite that will disrupt the world's electronics infrastructure on behalf of SOMBRA because she wanted to control the Russian government.

As it turns out, Ms. Walker's hatred stems from an incident in her past, back when she was a student at the university—she was the victim of hazing by the members of the sorority at the time, which consisted of forcing her to drink excessive amounts of alcohol that resulted in her being in a coma for four days. What especially angered her was that the dean at the time did nothing to punish the sorority members for the incident.: Case 22's victim, a stage actor, had a sandbag dropped on his head.

Jones is the sole partner of the entire season,. From Season 2 onward, there are two partners each. Characters tend to swear several times, although usually censored, which would eventually become non-existent after Season 2. Up until the Airport district, none of the Additional Investigations seem to have much bearing on the plot; they mostly revolve around checking up on the other suspects, usually to help them find an item they are missing or catch them doing something shady. Even plot-lines such as Alden Greene's activity and the Rorschach test murders are relegated to the main case rather than the AI. Speltz: People don't recognize my genius often enough. They call my work inhumane and try to have me shut down.

For example, one case in the Maple Heights arc has a bridge as one of the scenes with hidden items to find; the bridge itself is a clear expy of the Golden Gate Bridge, which would mean Grimsborough is a stand-in for San Francisco, or is at least located somewhere in the state of California. On the other hand, Grimsborough has only one university to its name, whereas San Franciso proper has several such institutes of learning.
