The Judge in the Scott Peterson trial ruled today that the prosecution may introduce evidence of Peterson's wiretapped calls:
Judge Alfred A. Delucchi was unswayed by the arguments, saying investigators followed proper procedures when monitoring the calls and any privileged information they heard was "so minimal to be of no consequence."
....During the first few months of 2003, investigators monitored about 3,000 of Peterson's calls, including 76 between the former fertilizer salesman and his first attorney.
Since the hearing was held behind closed doors yesterday, we don't know what those calls contain. But, earlier reports are that there is no smoking gun or confession on them.
Jury selection begins tomorrow.
