It's not TESTIMONY in the sense that it could be called perjury. It was part of
a conversation with Scott. If the father REALLY wanted to have anything to do
with his child, he would take it through the courts and it doesn't sound like he
HAS, despite the fact that his PARENTS have a relationship with Amber and their
grandchild. It also doesn't matter as far as her telling Scott that this was the
case -- as far as Scott was concerned, all he really needed to know was that
Amber was a single mom, the father was out of the picture for whatever reason,
and Amber has had to work hard to support and raise her child by HERSELF. THAT
was the gist of it.

To attack Amber on that point would be taking a REAL risk of alienating the moms
on the jury, ESPECIALLY if they have been in or close to similar situations.
They're ALREADY royally pissed off at Scott's treatment of Amber (and Laci),
after all. I think the "Boy's Club" had better tread VERY carefully when it
comes to the subject of men behaving badly and women having to deal with the
fallout.

No surprise. There's a lot of fuss about men "walking out" on their kids,

Besides... he was married when he knocked Amber up on the first date. As was

You don't know what you're talking about. "The California system"
will do nothing to ENFORCE a father's visitation rights -- nor will
any other state. It is entirely commonplace for custodial mothers to
deny fathers their court-ordered visitation priviledges.

Really but then, he would be ordered to pay child support. I would do exactly

Amber may have said "marry me, or have nothing to do with this baby". I
truly believe she desperately wants a husband and family, and uses the
children to try to trap them, it's the oldest trick in the book. When he
said no, she probably left his name off the documents and decided to have
her child without any financial help from him.

mother said Friday.

Did she also mention the case number from when her son took Amber to
court to get visitation rights?

I have heard about 100 men claim how they want to see their kids but
their mean exes won't allow it... and every time I have asked when they
went to court - every one of them has said no.

Oh please. It's such a typical lie to blame the ex for abandoning their
child. If the guy can't produce a case number for me then he gets filed
under neglectful, absent father and I have nothing more to do with him.

This grandmother should be thankful that she has been allowed to see the
child and shut up about her loser son... unless, of course, the son did
go to court, get visitation and then make sure the court order was
enforced. Because a man with a court order for visitation can have his
ex jailed if she refuses to abide by the court's ruling.

Frey is a treacerous, Linda-Tripp style con artist --nothing more and
nothing less.

by David Sween
______________

Unfortunately, most people lie. The difference between a fool and an
intelligent human being is the capacity to determine when a person is
lying and when a person is telling the truth. If you listen to the
Amber tapes, it is very easy to determine when Scott Peterson is
lying. It is also very easy to determine when Scott Peterson is
telling the truth, unless of course, you are an arrogant fool on the
"lynch Scott Peterson" bandwagon.

Most of the tapes consist of private, useless gossip that would cause
an experienced Attorney like Mark Geragos to walk out of the court
room because it is exhaustively embarrassing to pry into a personal
conversation of two idiotic liars, one of which believes to be a
prosecuting attorney. This brief exchange recorded on January 6, 2003,
should aptly illustrate the point:

Frey: You know the only thing that would ever make me or change my
mind in any way is that she show and she...she is found alive or comes
forward or whatever...

Scott: God, I hope she is found alive. We all hope she is found alive.
We're all working for that.

Frey: Really?

Scott: Yes

Frey: And you think that's gonna happen?

Scott: God, I hope so.

Frey: Do you feel that she's honestly going to be found alive?

Scott: I've been losing hope.

Frey: You've been losing hope?

Scott: For the last couple of days.

I don't know about Florida... I know about Indiana.

Child support and visitation are two separate issues. A custodial
parent cannot deny vis if child support is delinquent/absent.

This is when cs is ordered.

I'd assume he has to fight to prove paternity to get cs ordered, to
get vis. That's a lot of energy and time to "pay mortgage on a house
where you'll never live..." (that's my ex's definition of cs.)

I believe I read somewhere in those transcripts amber stating that 'when she
told him about the pregnancy he said 'she was on her own.' So it appears
that's what she did, took care of the child by herself. That she even
allowed the parents of the father to have regular visitation with the child
is a plus in my book. They have no legal rights, but she allowed them to
enjoy their grandchild anyway.

No offense, but that's too shaky for me.

Anybody else hear that she got knocked up with the first kid on a first date,
and that the guy was married?

Anybody else hear that her current boyfriend, Damien Berg, father of child #2,
is married, or was when he knocked her up?

Disagree about that. There's a lot of fuss about any parent walking
out on their kids, including women. It just so happens that men do it
a lot more than women.

Which is her side of the story. The actual truth may be somewhat

That's a great screen. I wonder if the press could "press the issue"
(sorry, the pun was too easy to pass up :-) with the father's parents.

Sometimes, people just choose to move on rather than continue a legal
battle.

I would be interested (mildly) in knowing the full circumstances of the
first child. I do suspect that Amber is less than the "wonderful,
devoted Mother" Allred is trying to portray her as.

While I personally agree with you, much of our society gauges their
manliness by their ability to conceive children, not raise them.

Can you provide a cite for that? I couldn't find one
on the Illinois NOW's home page.

Kind regards,

Look back at the men's rights newsgroup. An article from the Chicago Sun
Times was posted in the last 24 hours.

Would you be willing to provide any back up for your "suspicions"?
sounds like a pretty damn good single mother to me.

And about 95% of the single mothers I know are NOT single mothers by
choice, by the way.


(What a buncha cranky men hang out here. That I can live with. But the
spurious attacks on this woman's life oughta be an embarassment for
men everywhere.)

I can't imagine any custodial or non-custodial parent supporting such a thing.

Can you dismiss Peterson's statements in the same manner as just
"...part of a conversation with Amber."?
