Peterson trial closing arguments on Monday

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Jurors could hear some new ground plowed Monday when they listen to closing arguments in the Scott Peterson murder trial.

Trial analysts told the Modesto Bee Sunday that the prosecution and defense both would likely try to point out to the jury the evidence their opponents supposedly brought up in opening statements but failed to deliver.

The Bee said defense attorney Mark Geragos would likely be dinged by the district attorney's office for his perceived failure to come up with other possible suspects, or the witnesses who supposedly saw Peterson's wife, Laci, alive and well on the day she disappeared.

Peterson faces a possible death sentence if convicted for murdering Laci and their unborn son on the day before Christmas of 2002.

The one-time fertilizer salesman contends he was fishing the day his pregnant wife vanished and returned home to discover her missing.
