Interesting Trial Strategy

I have not been following the Scott Peterson trial very closely (sorry, I had real lawyering to do), so I missed the news that Peterson attorney Mark Garagos is alleged to have set up a display of the type of boat Peterson owned a few blocks from the courthouse. This was, supposedly, a ploy to influence the (sequestered) jury and prove that Peterson couldn't have tossed his dead wife overboard without tipping the tiny boat over. If true, that's an odd bit of trial strategy. Findlaw's Julie Hilden examines this puzzling issue in more detail today.
