Peterson guilty

I think it was fair enough that they found him gulity as the tape they showed at the court was very good proof (who filmed it anyway?) so good thing it's not like the OJ trail because there was no tape or anyother proof that he has killed his wife (though he obviously did, but the justic system was too poor on him) anyway, he does deserve it and it was sickening of watching that tape of him trying to dump a dead human being who is carrying a baby into the lake. good thing that tape busted his ass well enough lol

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. OJ's wife was a rich white woman. Ramsey was a little rich cute white girl. Peterson's wife was a cute white pregnant woman.

It's a conspiracy! :crazy:

Y'all are wrong.

Guilty or not, the prosecutors didn't prove that he did commit the murders. It should had been declared a mistrial. All of the witnesses, they had nothing relevant to contribute to the case, all of the evidences didn't point to the murders at all.

Just because it's "obvious" to you that he did commit the murders doesn't mean he did murder his wife and the baby. What you had said is nothing but an opinion, not a fact.

Justice hasn't been served yet because they weren't able to prove that Scott Peterson did commit the murders. I'm not saying he didn't, but I'm saying that the trial was a joke. Also, the two jurors that got dismissed prior to the verdict? If these two jurors had stayed, it could had been a hung jury, no doubt.

It's sickening to see people thinking opinions over the facts are good enough to get justice served.

there was a recorded tape of him trying to dump the woman into the lake so it was enough proof that he try to murder her.

Well... if he really killed his wife and that's good he is guilty. Strange things about his wife and the baby. The wife's body was cut into pieces and the police found the body without head, arms and legs. There was no baby inside her body. Then a week later, they found the baby about 40 miles away from the mother's body. The tapes had been wrap around the baby's neck. Yeah it sound pretty gross but I was wonder if he ever did this himself or helping from someone. There is something fishy about Scott's girlfriend.

I believe he doesn't work on the murder alone.
 
BTW, anyone know what the law is in California regarding unborn babies? Is abortion legal in Cali, in particular the jurisdiction that Peterson was convicted?[/QUOTE]


Apparently a person could be charged with homicide of a fetus if it occurred after the embryonic period, which is about 7 to 8 weeks after fertilization...

Like i said, If the Court of appeals wont overturn scotts conviction the US supreme court will.
 
petersonsucks

it doesnt matter what the law says about abortion or killings , those are two different things,like i said it is cheaper to execute ,becuz locking them up aint gioing to change them anyway they go nuts what do you do, put him on parole for good behavorial, then finds other nice lady then it all breaks loose. does anybody agree to that ,it is simple as that . like cheri said about oj simpson someone paid alot of money,himself. so therefore no mistake wether its about money etc,. :kiss:
 
Lol, harley, are you drunk?
We have shown that it is cheaper to keep a prisoner locked for life rather than sentence him to death.
Wake up, will ya?
Your brash arrogance does not appeal to the ladies here.

Or maybe it does.
 
grow up

Beowulf, Thank You :shock: for the information. I wasn't familiar with California law, and it now makes sense why he was charged with 2 counts.

This may (or may not) create more of a stir nationally in the heated abortion debate. I believe that is one of the many reasons this case received so much attention.

I was wondering the same thing. I have, however, heard it mentioned in other places...I would think if there was one, more people would be talking about it.
 
There was a video tape of a reenactment of a possible scenario of a man (an actor) trying to dump a "body" off a small boat, into the water. It was not allowed into evidence at the trial, but it was shown on TV newscasts.

Audio tapes of Peterson's telephone conversations with his girlfriend were used in the trial, but he never said anything about killing his wife on the tapes.

Maybe it was those two things that were confused together.
 
Penalty Phase to Begin in Peterson Case

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Scott Peterson (news - web sites)'s life now rests in the hands of the same jurors who found him guilty of murdering his pregnant wife.

The penalty phase in Peterson's case was set to begin Monday, 10 days after he was found guilty of first-degree murder for killing Laci Peterson (news - web sites) and second-degree murder for killing her fetus.

Jurors will choose between a life sentence or execution. They are expected to hear testimony much more laden with emotion than they did during the five-month guilt phase of his trial.

A delay was possible because defense lawyers filed a motion last week seeking to have a new jury seated in another county to weigh the sentence. The lawyers claim San Mateo County is too prejudiced against Peterson for this jury to be impartial. The judge planned to review the motion Monday morning.

The penalty phase is like a miniature trial, absent most of the typical rules of evidence. Unlike the guilt phase of a trial, it allows jurors to hear pleas for leniency and heartfelt recollections of the victim.

This phase will begin with opening statements from both sides, followed by testimony from friends and family members and closing arguments, before the jurors are once again sequestered for deliberations.

"Witnesses are pretty much allowed to say whatever they want," said Robert Talbot, a University of San Francisco School of Law professor who has observed the trial. "Laci's family will be talking about the impact on their lives without Laci there and not having a grandchild. The Petersons are going to attempt to show there is something of value in him that shouldn't be destroyed by the death penalty."

Talbot said defense lawyers also are allowed to "argue lingering doubt," playing to jurors who may still be somewhat uncertain about the prosecution's case.

The Peterson penalty phase wasn't forecast to be like most murder trials, where the convicted person has a history of violence, anti-social behavior or a childhood marred with abuse.

"You're not going to have any of that here because there isn't poverty in his background and there isn't parental abuse or a criminal record. He seemed to have a pretty good childhood," Talbot said.

No testimony was expected from one of the prosecution's star witnesses, Peterson's former mistress, Amber Frey. Wiretapped telephone calls between Peterson and Frey played for jurors portrayed the 32-year-old former fertilizer salesman as a habitual liar and a cad.

Speculation that Frey would be a defense witness because of her apparent opposition to the death penalty is unfounded, said Frey's attorney, Gloria Allred. "I think that would be ridiculous," said Allred.
 
For the taxpayers, the 'big high' is cheaper than life w/o parole.

Nope.
Life imprisonment is cheaper than execution.
Haven't you even bothered to do research? You will not find a single site claiming life imprisonment is cheaper than execution because it is not true.
Life imprisonment is cheaper than execution.
Period.

:confused:

It seems to me that keeping immates alive, feeding and sheltering and giving them what they need for medical reasons, etc....that's cheaper? It sounds like they are leeching off taxpayers' money. : P

But I'm not going to quibble about this. : p p p
