Mark Geragos was certain the case was solid: Scott Peterson was either guilty of murder or a complete idiot.
In televised interviews shortly before he took over as Peterson's lead counsel, Geragos described the evidence as overwhelming, and figured Peterson was all but convicted in the deaths of his wife and unborn son.
"His defense at this point is, 'Oh, my God, somebody else must have done it and was trying to set me up ... by dumping the bodies into the general vicinity of where I was' ... I don't think it's ever going to wash," Geragos said on Fox TV.
He was equally unsparing as he chatted with Larry King on CNN: "It's a damning circumstantial case. The man is a sociopath if he did this crime," Geragos said.
Now all those words may come back to haunt Geragos, experts say.
