SCRIPT
Laci Peterson's family arrived at the courthouse facing questions about
the effectiveness of the prosecution.
SUPER: SHARON ROCHA, LACI PETERSON'S MOTHER
"I THINK THEY'RE DOING GREAT"
They rejected criticism that the double murder case against Scott
Peterson is not being presented effectively.
SUPER: BRENT ROCHA, LACI PETERSON'S BROTHER "THERE ARE NOT REALLY
BOMBSHELLS COMING OUT BUT WE ARE HAPPY WHAT THEY ARE PRESENTING RIGHT
NOW."
But then prosecutors got their closest thing yet to a bombshell ...Harry
Kemple, second cousin by marriage testified, like other members of
Laci's family, that Scott did not act like a grieving
husband.
SUPER: HARRY KEMPLE, PROSECUTION WITNESS
"I WAS SUSPICIOUS OF HIM FROM THE VERY ONSET."
Under cross examination by defense attorney Pat Harris, Kemple testified
that at a fourth of July barbeque he saw Scott get more distressed over
burning some chicken than over losing Laci.
SUPER: HARRY KEMPLE, PROSECUTION WITNESS:
"THAT'S A FACT. ITS TRUE. THE MAN WAS UPSET ABOUT HIS BURNT CHICKEN THAN
EVEN THINKIN' ABOUT FINDING HIS WIFE."
SUPER: DEAN JOHNSON, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTY
"THAT'S THE NEW ITEM THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE MENU HERE-CHICKEN.
KEMPLE WAS A VERY GOOD WITNESS FOR A PROSECUTOR."
And there was more. Kemple said that twice he followed Scott when he
said he was going to distribute missing person posters.
SUPER: CHUCK SMITH, ATTORNEY:
"AND PETERSON DIDN'T GO WHERE HE SAID HE WAS GOING, TO HAND OUT FLYERS,
BUT INSTEAD DID OTHER THINGS, ON ONE OCCASION WENT TO THE GOLF COURSE,
WELL THAT IS DEVASTATING TOO."
And the defense was undercut again when a neighbor Karen Servas
pinpointed the time she found Laci's dog running loose. Her testimony
contradicts a defense theory that Laci was abducted later in the morning.
