Evidence suggests Peterson baby removed from womb
Appearing on MSNBC, Dr. Wecht said the findings in the coroner's report on Connor Peterson, the unborn son of Laci and Scott Peterson, were extremely significant.
Dr. Wecht told Dan Abrams the cuts found on Connor Peterson's body were consistent with the child having been removed from his mother's womb, Laci Peterson, via an incision, rather than expelled from the body due to decomposition of the uterus.
Later, on MSNBC's 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann,' Dr. Wecht also said he believes, at this point, having not seen the autopsy report or pictures, the plastic tape found around the baby's neck will prove to be a pick-up or artifact.

Cause of Laci's death still lingers
Appearing on Fox News, Dr. Wecht said the doctors studying Laci Peterson's body are probably finished with the microscopic anatomical work and may now be waiting for toxicological findings, which could take several weeks.
He said most important will be whether or not the doctors examining the body were able to arrive at a cause of death. It will be in the favor of the defense if the doctors cannot, he said. See Details of Laci's Death Gruesome, But Cause Still Unknown.
