| Defense attorney absent, Today's session cancelled November 5, 2003 12:06 p.m. PST: Today’s sessions of Scott Peterson’s preliminary hearing were canceled because his lead attorney was absent. Mark Geragos was detained in Los Angeles, where he returned earlier this week to address jury questions in another murder case. Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Al Girolami initially delayed today’s start in the Peterson matter until 2:30 p.m., then canceled the entire day’s proceedings at 11:22 a.m. for reasons that were not explained. Peterson is accused of murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, and their son, Conner. More than 40 journalists from across the nation had gathered this morning to hear testimony from Modesto police Det. Al Brocchini. Defense attorneys have suggested that he planted evidence to frame Peterson. The judge in the Southern California case reopened arguments Tuesday after that jury came back with four questions during six days of deliberation, attorneys involved said.
