As I say, what did it for me was the Amber tapes. These came out when I was all sick last summer, and I listened to most of them. There are several places where she basically says she knows he did it and he has nothing to say. I found the tapes convincing. However, I was not on the jury. There was, admittedly, very little *physical* evidence. I think it amounted to one hair, on a boat Laci didn't know about. Are there other possible explanations for that, perhaps. But if one was offered I missed it.
It's actually a bit disturbing to contemplate the idea that Blake was guilty also, since that would mean that apparently only the pretty women matter. Again, I have not followed the Blake case very closely at all, but it does not seem to fit the same profile as Laci Peterson and that woman in Utah -- you know, the reluctant daddy theme.
