REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - In 12 weeks of trial, prosecutors have presented scant hard evidence linking Scott Peterson to the murder of his pregnant wife, Laci, and the couple's fetus - no murder weapon, no cause of death, no bloody crime scene and no witnesses to the killing. However, the trial has taken a turn over the last two weeks as jurors heard hours of recorded telephone calls between Peterson and his former lover, Amber Frey. "I think the tapes changed the mood of the trial and has the jury thinking, 'We certainly understand now why police were so suspicious of Scott,'" said Loyola University Law School Professor Laurie Levenson.
