| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Psych Legal Pop Podcast. This is a podcast where we talk about popular |
| 0:06.0 | culture through the lens of an attorney and a therapist. I'm the therapist, Tess Brigham, |
| 0:11.0 | and normally Brooke would be here to say she's the attorney, but this is the second part of our |
| 0:18.1 | two-part episode about Scott and Lacey Peterson. |
| 0:22.6 | So please enjoy. |
| 0:24.5 | Thank you so much for your support. |
| 0:27.6 | Anyway, they completely ruled out that this burglary or any of this had anything to do with Lacey's disappearance. |
| 0:35.4 | And so in trial, the prosecution probably did what's called a motion and limine, which before |
| 0:42.6 | trial, if there's evidence that you want to keep out or things that you want to make sure |
| 0:48.0 | the jury doesn't hear, you file a motion and you say why. |
| 0:54.0 | And I have not seen the motion or what the basis for the motion is, but I'm guessing they're going to say it's going to be, you know, that these two events are completely unrelated. |
| 1:03.8 | And if this gets admitted, it's going to be prejudicial to the state because it's going to, you know, confuse the jurors or make them think that this |
| 1:11.3 | has some kind of validity or whatever. And so that motion was granted. And so the defense could |
| 1:19.4 | not introduce anything, anything about the burglary. So they couldn't present an alternate theory. And the, then here's something |
| 1:31.2 | that's really a shame. For whatever reason, Garagos decided not to put on those witnesses. |
| 1:40.5 | Yeah, which really surprises me. Yeah. And the other lawyer that was working with him, |
| 1:46.1 | attorney, Laura, I can remember her last name, but yeah, she talked about how like these witnesses |
| 1:52.5 | had been so just kind of abused by the police, you know, like discounted by the police. And they kind of got to a point where, you know, they just didn't really want to be involved. |
| 2:06.5 | And, you know, they just thought it, I don't know, he just made a decision that he didn't think they would be good witnesses. |
| 2:14.3 | Because the police had made them bad witnesses. |
| 2:19.3 | Yeah, the police had confused. The other thing, too, is when you, again, coming back to my media thing, if the media wasn't involved |
| 2:24.2 | in any of this, then, because I think that there is, right, the detectives could argue, oh, |
