Stupid Attorney taling about GPS's

I never read anything about this Scott Petersen murder
trial before. I saw a headline about a "GPS." I started
to read it and I guess the guys car had a GPS in it
and the prosecution is trying to place him at the murder
scene. Well the defense attorney is saying the GPS
is inaccurate due to a malfunction and made the
moronic comment of:
-------------
Peterson's attorney, Mark Geragos, argued that the information gathered
through global positioning system technology was not accurate. GPS uses
signals from dozens of satellites to show a receiver's position to
within a few feet.

"If the FAA will not approve GPS for the landing of an aircraft, how can
a court of law approve its forensic use in a capital case?" he said.
--------------

The attorney's job is to protect his client. 90% of law is procedural
and most cases are won/lost on procedure. Perhaps he's afraid the GPS
will put his client at the location. However, I'd be surprised if the
GPS actually kept any data.

As I understand this, the GPS devices were put on his car to track his
movements AFTER Laci was missing.

I don't see how that can place him at the scene. It can only support the
evidence of his affair.

According to one news report, the GPS log supposedly shows that he twice
returned to a beach near the location where his wife's body washed up.

Did he know about the GPS in his car? ****, if he did I can't imagine
he'd be that dumb. There is evidence that this isn't the first time
he's done this. Another girl he was interested in about 10 years ago
also disappeared and was never heard of again. Sounds like he's a pro.
