Dalton may be an attorney, (albeit a defense attorney) but he misses the most fundamental, basic formula in homicide: M.O.M.; Means, Opportunity and Motive. Means; his bare hands, boat and tide charts; Opportunity; He was alone with her earlier that day and had plenty of time to kill her and transport the body to the bay where he ultimately dumped her; Motive; he did not want children and he had a new girlfriend. An innocent man does not behave the way Scott did; running for the border with four cell phones, 15 thousand dollars in cash and camping equipment plus a newly blond beard and hair. He did not look for her when she first went missing, he showed zero emotions before during and after the trial and he told Amber Frey he "lost his wife" on December 6, some weeks before he actually killed her. I also thought the hypocrisy of his mother was disgusting; she always carefully appeared in public wearing her oxygen equipment, yet was seen moving heavy furniture out of Laci's house wtih alacrity. His weak statements about witnesses claiming to have seen Laci simply don't hold up; these witnesses illustrate the fable of the 3 Blind men and the Elephant as far as credibility goes; a burglary across the street and another story about a pregnant woman being harassed are two more rather contrived and pathetic attempts to shore up this non-case; the disappearance of six pregnant women within an 80 miles radius in the years leading up to this crime and questions about the autopsy report all add up to: One defense attorney's trying to make money off of a legitimate tragedy by cobbling together the weakest of possibilities and by doing so, only compounds the already tawdry reputation shared by the less honorable of his profession. One only has to listen to the conversations betwen Amber and Scott, most notably the embarrassingly bad lie about being in Paris when he was standing in the middle of crowd of people searching for Laci...his voice irritatingly hoarse and raspy; This, ladies and gentlemen, is the sound of a true sociopath; the only true aspect of Scott's persona. I cannot even begin to imagine the horror and agony of Sharon Rocha; this sort of loss is bad enough on its own, but the know your child was murdered...and your grandson...is beyond the pale. I was watching the news when the verdict was announced and how the crowd outside the courtroom cheered and how some were offended by this; I say to them, it is far more "offensive" to have your child and grandchild murdered. So save your self-righteous indignation and cheer that Scott finally received his just reward.
