Wednesday July 7, 2004 A string of marina workers testified the skies were cloudy over San Francisco Bay that Christmas Eve day and activity was light. The subject was the Berkeley marina, where Peterson claims to have launched his solo fishing trip on Dec. 24, the day his wife was reported missing. "It wasn't busy at all" and the weather was "cold, maybe a little windy," said Alonzo Chess, a marina landscape supervisor. Under cross-examination, he acknowledged it might have been drizzling. Peterson told police he returned home that afternoon and immediately washed his clothes because they were wet from rain. Alonzo also testified that he saw only one or two trailers from people who launched their boat that day. Police have testified they found that suspicious and said it didn't rain that day. Sylvester Goosby, a marina maintenance worker, described the day as chilly, cold, gray and "drizzly" and said he saw no one at the boat launch ramp. On cross-exam, however, Goosby said "people drive in and out of the marina all the time", adding that some people live on their boats. According to logs archived by the Western Regional Climate Center, at noon that Dec. 24 it was 52 degrees under cloudy skies, but no drizzle was recorded at the Oakland airport, less than 10 miles south of the marina. The workers, however, testified that oftentimes it can be raining in one area of the bay and only cloudy in another. HOME INDEX LACI SCOTT TRIAL ALIBI-WITNESS LIST MAPS BODIES FOUND AUTOPSY |
