Laci's past relationship in jail for shooting girlfriend COINCIDENCE ?
John Wayne Hussein
I just heard this on TV . The guy was Laci's previous relationship before
Scott.
He was in Jail prior to Laci's dissapearance , so he is ruled out as a
potential suspect .
This fact , I believe actually support the prosecution , and hurt the
Peterson defence team in the court of public opinion .
Dont get me wrong , I'm not about to sugest that Laci was at fault her her
own demise , but does anyone believe that she could have been attracted to
self centered heartless men who would be more prone to kill their mate?
Or is there something about Laci that would attract such men , being overly
accomidatiing for example .

I won't try to psychoanalyze Laci, but it's pretty weird that both of the men
with whom she had long-term relationships are sitting in jail cells for
violence against women.
Here's a link to an old new story about the ex-boyfriend shooting his
girlfriend: http://www.thesunlink.com/news/may99/daily/0518a4a.html
and lifted from a message board, this is apparently what was written in the
Enquirer.

synopsis
The man who still loves Laci Peterson sits in a prison cell, sometimes gazing
longingly at a photo of himself embracing a smiling Laci. Inmate #802862 is
haunted by the sweet brown eyed girl and by memories of what they shared and
dreams of what may have been.
But the tall dark haired prisoner in the concrete cell is not Scott Peterson,
it"s her high school sweetheart William Kent Gain, 30, who is doing 15 years in
a Washington State Prison for shooting a later girlfriend in the back during an
argument.
"I still love Laci and always will. I wanted to marry her but she didn't think
the time was right," said Kent.
Speaking out for the first time since Laci was killed, he divuluged the details
of his last phone call with Laci. We were together 3 years, 4 months, and 17
days said Kent, who was her boyfriend from 1991 to 1994.
He insists the shooting of another girlfriend, Grace Ho, was an accident and
says he is nothing like Laci's coldhearted husband Scott. "He never deserved to
be with Laci."
Although Mark Geragos has repeatedly accused Modesto police of unfairly
targeting Scott without exploring other suspects, Kent revealed to the NE that
the cops tracked him down in Washington to make sure he did not have anything
to do with Laci's murder.
Kent has been in prison since Jan.17, 1999 the day of the shooting, so he was
eliminated as a suspect.
Laci began dating Scott shortly after she and Kent broke up, in early July of
1994, just after she finished her first year of college at Calif. Polytechnic
State U., in San Luis Obispo. From the beginning Kent had grave misgivings
about her new boyfriend, "I had the feeling Scott was no good." "I didn't know
him personally, but I'd seen him in the diner where he worked." "It was just a
gut feeling that I had, the way he carried himself. He seemed like a (bleep)."
Kent received a haunting phone call from Laci in August 1994, nearly two months
after he'd moved out pf their cottage in Morro Bay. She was calling to talk
about her new romance with Scott. She said she was doing well and was happy.'
She said "I think I found the man I am going to marry."
Then sha asked me "Are you crying? I said, "No, should I be?" "Are you trying
to hurt my feelings?" "It did hurt, but I didn't want to show my true colors."
That was the last time I spoke to her," said Gain.
On a phone call eight years later, Kent's mother broke the news to him that
Laci was missing. "I had a gut feeling Scott had something to do with it," says
Kent.
Kent meet Laci in 1990, when both were students at Downey High School, and was
the only serious boyfriend she ever had before falling in love with Peterson. "
Laci was a sophomore and I was a senior when we met," says Kent. "We dated
exclusively." Kent and Laci attend prom at the Century Methodist Church Hall.
"We had a great time and Laci looked so beautiful," said Kent wistfully.
When Laci went off to college, love-struck Kent followed and moved in with her.
During freshman year, Kent worked at a wharehouse and surfed local beaches.
"It was the first time she was away from home," and it was stressful for her,"
says Kent. By the school year's end, tensions between Gain and Laci mounted to
the point of frequent arguments and they broke up in July 1994.
Kent headed back home to his mom in Modesto. In Novemember of 1994, he moved to
Santa Cruz, where he worked in a coffee shop. In early 1997, Kent met Grace Ho,
and they moved to Washington State.
But the couple's life unraveled with tragic consequences on January 17, 1999,
when Kent shot Grace, then 24, in the back with a .44-caliber handgun.
Grace survived, but in November 1999, a jury found Kent, guilty, of
first-degree assault with a gun and he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Kent says he was drunk and arguing with Grace, when the gun went off by
accident. But prosecutor Andy Anderson insists, "It was not an accidental
shooting." And Anderson revealed that approximately an hour before the
shooting, Kent had phoned a female friend and told her he was going to hurt
Grace.
Now just like the jailed Scott Peterson, Kent has lots of time to reflect.
"I see Laci in my mind, he confides. "I think of her all the time."
Second article:
Trusting Laci was no match for evil men- say experts!
Laci Peterson had only two loves in her short life and both are in jail because
of their shocking treatment of women, but that's no reflection on Laci, say
leading psychotherapists.
Good-hearted trusting women are often no match for smooth talking men with evil
intentions.
"Skilled psychopaths, especially handsome, charismatic ones, fool most of the
people, most of the time, " says Judith Logue, Ph.D., a nationally known
therapist and life coach.
And Dr. Irene Kassoria, a leading psychologist who has treated many
celebrities, says sometimes good people are the most easily fooled.
"It's like a naivete. There are people who say: "I'm honest, so I know you're
honest." "We project what we are," says Kassoria. (Neither Logue or Kassoria
ever treated Laci, who was 27 when she was murdered.)
Logue added "it's possible that the 5 foot 1- Laci's petite size may have made
her a target for men seeking to dominate women.
And Kassoria notes that behavioral patterns are learned early and people tend
to repeat their romantic experiences whether good or bad."

HOLY FREAKING PSYCHIC TAMPERING!
(heh, and we all thought Alison was out of her head).
This had better not be Geragos' new defense tactic.

Since 1999. It's a non-issue.

The Port Orchard Sun article mentioned that he'd been in jail since
1999, and is currently serving a 15-year sentence for aggravated
assault with the intent to murder. If that is the case, that "prior
to" news item must have needed some editing, because no way he could
have busted out of a WA State prison, taken out Laci down in Cally,
and then crept back up to Washington to sneak back into his jail cell.
I think someone would have noticed him being gone for that long of a
time. :-)~
Re: the HS incident, I doubt the girl she beat up in HS still holds a
grudge. (Did tiny Laci really beat up another kid, or is that just
media conjecture? I totally can't picture that.) HS sucks all
around--girl or guy, you get beat up on in some point of your life,
you beat other kids up, or both--I have to admit I even participated
in a little of both... :-/

Or, maybe Laci was like many other young women her age, and attracted
to the "bad boys".

Actually, one's in jail because of his ALLEGED treatment of one woman.
Last I heard, people were still innocent until proven guilty in this country.

That's only true when they get to court. If it was really true people wouldn't
sit in jail for 2 or 3 years before coming to trial. Do you really want a
killer running around free until the trial?

S*T*R*E*S*S That confusion created when ones mind overrides the bodies basic
desire to choke the living crap out of some jerk that richly deserves it.
Karen O'Mara
Not only did Laci make a poor choice in a man with Scott, but now it
seems she has a history of making poor choices in men throughout her
life.
It's a story that many of us make, but usually doesn't cost us our
life.
