REDWOOD CITY -- Modesto Police Detective Al Brocchini used a news report in The Modesto Bee to plant the “seeds of suspicion” in the minds of Scott Peterson’s friends, according to his own testimony Thursday morning.
The detective also palmed a gun found in the glove compartment of Peterson’s truck shortly after Laci Peterson disappeared, without asking permission or getting a search warrant.
And he never showed a picture of Laci Peterson and her dog McKenzie to a witness who said he saw a pregnant lady walking a golden retriever in Dry Creek Park about 9:20 a.m. on Dec. 24, 2002.
Those were the key points made by defense attorney Mark Geragos during a second day of cross-examination.
