Geragos faces complaint over boat

Wednesday, November 17, 2004


REDWOOD CITY, California (AP) -- An attorney with a penchant for attention-getting litigation has filed a complaint against Scott Peterson's lawyer for apparently parking a replica of his client's fishing boat two blocks from the courthouse last week.

In a complaint filed Friday with the California Bar Association, attorney John B. Thompson accuses Mark Geragos of trying to "engage in nonverbal communication" with jurors deliberating Peterson's guilt.

"I believe (Geragos) violated the bar rules," said Thompson, a Florida attorney who has filed complaints against radio "shock jocks," graphic rap music and violent video games.

Under a court-imposed gag order, Geragos is prevented from speaking about any aspect of the Peterson case.

Thompson said the boat display was an unethical way to embarrass the judge and attempt to influence the jury.

An analyst at the California Bar Association will examine the complaint and then refer it to an attorney to decide whether to pursue an investigation, which could lead to disciplinary action, spokesman E.J. Bernacki said.
