Scott Peterson's jury trial begins today with opening arguments. Many experts say the case is a toss-up. Mark Geragos, notwithstanding a tough gag order, has succeeded in reducing the public certainty of his guilt.
A circumstantial case, no murder weapon, confession, eyewitness. No obvious crime scene. No cause of death. What's left? Speculation over his odd behavior, his affair and a hair that could easily have been transferred --
Geragos says his closing may take all afternoon.
