GOLF DATE IS HOLE IN
SCOTT'S ALIBI:
LACI'S SIS
June 3, 2003

Scott Peterson told a family member he  planned to go golfing last
Christmas Eve, possibly blowing his fishy alibi for the day his pregnant wife,
Laci, vanished, it was reported yesterday. The Modesto, Calif.,
fertilizer salesman
and murder suspect has always maintained he went fishing in Berkeley on
Dec. 24, the day Laci Peterson disappeared from their home.


But on Dec. 23, Scott Peterson told Laci's sister, Amy, that he had firm golf plans for the next day
Peterson went so far as to say he had a tee time Christmas Eve - and even offered to run an
errand for his sister-in-law, who works in a Modesto beauty parlor, on the way home.


Peterson was arrested shortly after the decomposed remains of his wife and
unborn son,
Conner, washed ashore in San Francisco Bay in April. Peterson's
lawyers insist their client is innocent and claim to have several leads on the
real killer. They say they are now looking for a man named "Donnie."

Defense sources told Fox that "Donnie" could have ties to drugs, including methamphetamines,
and may be the mystery man in a
brown van reported in the neighborhood the day Laci disappeared.

Yesterday, the defense also called for sanctions against the Stanislaus County DA's office
for tape-recording phone calls between Peterson and his lawyer,
Kirk McAllister.   The district
attorney admitted last week to having tapes of two
phone calls Peterson made to McAllister,
and a judge ordered them turned over to the defense.  In court papers, lead defense lawyer
Mark Geragos said the DA should be punished for the allegedly ethical lapse.

The defense's proposed remedies include dismissing the murder charges against Peterson
and replacing the Stanislaus County DA in the case. Prosecutors insist they haven't listened
to any of the private conversations or gained any legal upper hand.
