Note: This will answer how/why Scott Peterson attained the $15,000, of which his attorney Geragos (at the time it was confiscated ) said there was an explanation.

This isn't where the $15K came from

Geragos just wants the money that was found on Scott returned and the truck so that Scott's parents can be paid.

They wonder why the Peterson's wanted the house as collateral as a loan for their son? Because they probably figure he will be convicted and then they can sell the home or move into it, to assure they get their money back. That way, it doesn't go to the attorneys for the defense.

They are business people, business people usually secure things like loans, even if it is their own son.

Also, they probably need to secure the loan to ensure proper medical care for Scott's mother, and retirement. To be real honest, things don't look too good for Scott, but maybe they can sleep better at night knowing that they helped him get the best defense possible regardless of the ultimate outcome. Regardless of what people think of Scott, it's their son, and they love him.

That's just a few thoughts from the peanut gallery..

Everyone have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Who cares where he got it from, why did he have it?

Why did he have his brother's ID? And why did he try to change his appearance?

That's what I want to hear from Geragos. Darn good explanation if there could possibly be one.

Lots of clothes in the vehicle, bought the car under his mother's name, telling the guy that it was his name, and having the money, plus the change in hair color...
