[Lin:] The police search of San Francisco Bay is the focus of the Scott Peterson murder trial today. That is where the bodies of Laci Peterson and her unborn son washed ashore. Our Rusty Dornin is covering the case and joins me live now from Redwood City, California. How's the testimony going, Rusty?
[Dornin:] Well, the cross-examination of Detective Dodge Hendee continued today. And exhaustive questioning about his searches on San Francisco Bay. He was involved in some 28 searches for remains of Laci Peterson's body and also looking for what prosecutors say were homemade cement anchors they believe Scott Peterson used to weigh down his wife's body. However, under cross-examination Geragos kept pressing him, kept repeating the question over and over again. "So the sum of the evidence that you retrieved in this case amounted to nothing?" The detective had to admit, yes, we found nothing related to this case. He then moved on to the house. Hendee was involved in searching the nursery there. He also admitted he found no forensic evidence in that nursery. Then went on to Scott Peterson's warehouse, where apparently Hendee had collected something he thought were blood samples. Also in the house that he thought were blood samples. Again the detective had to admit he found no evidence there. Geragos clearly leading the jury through a parade of evidence that just doesn't point to anything, didn't lead anywhere. So what's going to happen is Hendee will finish up in about 15 minutes. And then the jury will be dismissed for the day. This afternoon the judge will be watching a couple of interviews done with Scott Peterson, one that was conducted by CNN's own Ted Rowlands. He will decide whether those interviews will be admissible. And then next week Detective Dodge Hendee will be back on the stand to finish his cross-examination. That's what is happening.
[Lin:] I was listening. We were watching tape of Scott Peterson in that interview with with our Ted Rowlands when he worked for a bay area television station. The coverage of those interviews basically stated that Scott Peterson said, for example, that he met with Marc Klass, who's the head of the Polly Klass Foundation. His daughter was kidnapped and murdered. Marc Klass says he never talked with Scott Peterson. Is it that the prosecution is trying to set up Scott Peterson as a liar?
[Dornin:] Well, there are some scenes in the Diane Sawyer interview, certainly, that show that Scott Peterson had a different story for police. He told Diane Sawyer that he told police about his affair with Amber Frey the night that Laci Peterson disappeared. Well, several investigators have testified that he did not tell them. So I know that Ted Rowlands, in his interview, asked several questions along those lines. By that time Scott Peterson was not answering any questions along those lines. But definitely prosecutors want to show or try to prove that Scott Peterson was willing to lie about a lot of different things.
[Lin:] All right. Thank you very much. Rusty Dornin, live in Redwood City, covering that trial for us Kyra.
[Phillips:] All right. Shaq is sent packing, and today could be the day that Kobe Bryant decides to bolt to the Los Angeles Lakers or not. With more on the world of sports, CNN's Steve Overmyer. Shaq feeling the heat. Kobe feeling the heat, too, but in a different way.
[Steve Overmyer, Cnn Sports Correspondent:] Kobe's definitely creating a little bit of suspense in La-la land right about now. The Lakers can offer him a little bit more money: seven years, $136 million. But right now he's creating that suspense and the possibility of joining the L.A. Clippers. They can only offer him six years, $100 million. But they have just recently started to clear cap space, and it looks like they are under the cap space. They can sign Kobe Bryant if he chooses. Today is the day that that most people I should say today is the earliest day that that Kobe could be expected to make his decision whether or not he could be staying with the Lakers. Now, Kyra, we all know that Kobe and Shaq didn't get along. And the Lakers basically made the decision, our future is going to be Kobe. If we're going to get something, we're going to get something out of Shaq. The door is wide open for Kobe to stay with the Lakers and really make it his team, as he has always wanted the spotlight. Well, now it's his chance to prove that he's worthy of the spotlight, and can he really be the heart of the Lakers?
[Phillips:] So they're putting they're putting aside all this publicity from the trial and all that kind of stuff?
[Overmyer:] Don't forget, yes, August 27 is going to be the beginning of that of that trial, as well. So you never know what his future is going to be one way or the other.
[Phillips:] All right. Lance Armstrong. Let's go to Tour de France. Let's talk about when he's going to make his move.
[Overmyer:] Well, he hasn't made his move just yet. But you know, right now he's actually a little upset with the with the French press. I'll get to that in a second. But Lance Armstrong here you see he's riding with the U.S. Postal Service team. He's about nine and a half minutes back. Nice. Got into a little roadblock there was the cows were blocking the road early on. Don't expect him to retain the yellow jersey after this one. But, again, our boy Lance is not too happy with the French press. Apparently, some members of the French press tried to get into his hotel room to try to find evidence of possible doping in his hotel room. But the owners of the hotel wouldn't get in wouldn't allow them in there. He said this is very scandalous, that they've been trying to do this for many years. It's really unfortunate. But we're expecting Lance to possibly make a move by this weekend. The French Alps begin tomorrow. The stages with the Alps begin tomorrow, and that's when he and Jan Ulrich really start to make their push. And tomorrow is when we're expecting him to start to make that move. Again, he's nine and a half back but you know what? He's a five- time defending champion. He knows when to push.
[Phillips:] Right. He knows when to pull out all the stops. Yes. Exactly. All right. We were kind of on this French theme. Let's talk about Thomas Levet in the British open. Still in the lead?
[Overmyer:] Yes, yes. Right now he's still in the lead at five under. But the shot of the day came from this man, Ernie Els on the par three eighth. They call this hole the postage stamp, because the green is so small it's like a postage stamp. Well, he licked it with a hole in one. Ernie Els, is at 69. He's at two under par, still three strokes behind your leaders. As for Tiger Woods, Tiger had the putter working. Very nice par or very nice birdie there. He's at one under 70 at four birdies, three bogies. Really, Kyra, the problem that has hampered Tiger for the past I don't know, what, two years is the fact that he cannot hit fairways. An din the British Open, you don't hit fairways you're going to be hitting those long putts just to save par.
[Phillips:] And you know because you you've played that course a number of times.
[Overmyer:] Yes, exactly. You know, I'm just happy to break par. But what's interesting is this could be the turning point for Tiger Woods. You know, for the past 257 weeks Tiger has been the No. 1 player in the world. If Ernie Els wins, and if Tiger doesn't finish any better than 17th, Els will be the No. 1 player in the world.
[Phillips:] And of course, if anybody wants to watch the British Open, we probably should plug
[Tnt. Overmyer:] Baby, exactly. It's on TNT right now, as we speak.
[Phillips:] Shameless plug, yes. Don't flip us off yet. Wait and then go watch the British Open. All right. Thanks so much, Steve.
[Overmyer:] Thank you.
[Phillips:] All right. Well, Honda has a new car, and young drivers are the target. Rhonda Schaffler joins us LIVE FROM... the New York Stock Exchange with that Rhonda.
[Lin:] All right. Thanks very much, Rhonda. Looking for a break from the boardroom? Want to go from the corporate fast lane to the serenity of a horse ranch? Well, before you abandon your current career for the dream job, you might want to test reality with a so-called vocation vacation. CNN's financial news correspondent J.J. Ramberg explains.
[J.j. Ramberg, Cnn Correspondent:] From the view of the corporate cubicle, running a winery, announcing sports games and making fine cheeses are all fodder for daydreams. That is, until you actually get up close.
[Allison Lakin, Sprout Creek Farm:] They get to climb in and scrub the pasteurizer, turning the cheese. That's the cheese maker workout section of the day when you turn about a thousand wheels of cheese ranging from two to 12 pounds. It adds up.
[Ramberg:] Hoping to give people an opportunity to give their career fantasy a test drive before telling their current boss good- bye, Brian Kurth started Vocation Vacation, offering disgruntled corporate refugees, as he calls them, two-day stints in their dream jobs.
[Brian Kurth, Vocation Vacation:] We have horse trainer and raceway manager and film events producer as well as L.A. celebrity wedding coordinator.
[Ramberg:] Far from sitting on the beach for a couple of days these trips are often a lot of hard work. And one of the first things many vacationers find out is that their dream job is not quite so glamorous. [voice-over] Bill Wilkinson and Michael O'Brien quickly learned that making cheese is not as fun as eating cheese.
[Unidentified Male:] What you do is hot and it's very timed. It's very regimented. And as far as the cleanliness, there it's not forgiving.
[Ramberg:] But at a time when job satisfaction is especially low, even some unexpected hard work may seem like a better path to a paycheck than the jobs many people have right now. J.J. Ramberg, CNN financial news, New York.
[Lin:] Making cheese on your vacation.
[Phillips:] Yum. All right. Go to Green Bay. Emmy nominations out today. We're going to talk with a contender, "Joan of Arcadia's" Amber Tamblyn, expected to call in and share the moment with LIVE FROM....
[Lin:] And under the radar, a controversial security program goes bye-bye. More on that next.
[Phillips:] All right. You're off to an interview with a big-time famous director.
[Lin:] Yes. Spike Lee. We can air a little bit of it tomorrow on your show.
[Phillips:] There we go. That's a deal. All right. Well, we'll get it I guess the exclusive here. We'll talk about it more, LIVE FROM... on the homestretch right after this.
