Detective: Peterson Said He'd Sink Body

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — In what may be a major coup for the prosecution in Scott Peterson's murder trial, a police detective testified Tuesday that the defendant had talked about how to dispose of a dead body. However, during cross examination, the detective added that his source was not very credible. Detective Allen Brocchini said Peterson, 31, had told a friend in 1995 that he would attach weights to a corpse, throw it into the ocean and allow fish to eat the remains. Peterson said "said he would tie a bag around the neck with duct tape," Brocchini testified. Posted by Webmaster at June 30, 2004 06:29 AM
