FM:

It WOULD have been interesting if this had been a case where the victim was the cheater and the killer was the BS.

That's what my curiosity on the first page was about. I wondered all along just how knowledgeable the attorneys were about the dynamics of affairs and how they pertain/don't pertain 2 the case.

For example, the A established Scott as a liar and a cheat. But All WSs become liars and cheats 2 have an A, but not all of them are "permanently damaged goods" in the honesty/truthfulness department - they can be redeemed.

But if Scott really was just a player wanting 2 keep his free-going lifestyle at all costs, he isn't even a typical WS by any stretch.

I truly hoped that justice was served in this case because it scares the hell out of me just thinking that a murderer may have escaped to kill again.

One thing that always struck me strange is why did Amber Frie[?] hire an attorney [especially that publicity hound Glory Allred] if she was not a suspect in Laci's and Connor's deaths? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

You know what, I wasn't sure when I would listen, but like Mel every single time I looked at his face I just knew.

And yes his eyes, they gave me the heeby jeebies, along with the rest of his face. Not enough for a jurur to go on but I just KNEW looking at his face. I would have had to be excused from the juror line up because of his face. No soul in those eyes!

Wierd!

The whole thing made me sick. Laci was such a good woman, looking forward to a bright future with a newborn son and family. Her selfish husband destroyed it all, and himself, and both families. What a terrible waste.

Yep evil lives Believer, and now hopefully it dies. Too bad he wasn't the last of the evil on this earth. Yuck, what a depressing subject.

I am a N. Cal resident and I sat with baited breathe for the verdict this afternoon. I thought like most that it would be another OJ case. High priced defense etc....

I am releived that Scott is now a convicted murderer. It is a relief to know that the justice system is working!

I am sad for all the family involved on either side..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> Scotts DAD did not go to the verdict....what is that about???? May be the way Scott grew up??? running away and avoiding problems??? It is just too weird, the dad was there EVERY SINGLE day accept today for the verdict for his son???? Anyone hear what that was about yet????

Anyways........I don't want Amber to "frie" I feel she was an intrical part of his demise!! If it had not been for the taped phone calls to Amber, this case may well have been a hung jury.

Amber was a victim too. Weather I like it or you all like it or not. Just remember, she did not EVER know he had wife to begin with, let alone a baby on the way.( a "living" wife anyways! )

Scott??? what would I "wish" for him now???? I wish for him to sit in prison. For the rest of his life. With nothing more than 4 walls around him. I think that death is too good for what he did.

He took away a mothers child and her soon to be grandson.......he needs to sit in those 4 walls for the next 50 yrs. and think about that every day he is still breathing.

Anyhow.........couldn't resisit my 2 cents worth.

Blessings,
Atruheart <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Yes life without possbility of parole!

One commentator said even if he was given the death penalty it would be 22 years before he would be executed taking into account the appeals process and the fact that there are 600 death row inmates ahead of him!

Bob Pure,

To answer your question, in short:

A woman disappeared the day or so before Christmas 2002. Her name was Laci Peterson and she was pregnant with her first child, about 7-1/2 months along.

Her husband, Scott, said he had been out fishing and when he came home Laci was nowhere to be found and their dog was there with a leash on (as though Laci had taken the dog for a walk and something happened to her).

Soon, the cops suspected Scott. A woman named Amber Frey came forward to say she had been having a sexual relationship with Scott, who she did not know was married, let alone expecting his first child.

Four months after Laci disappeared, her headless body and the body of their baby boy, Connor, washed up on the rocks not far from where Scott claimed to be fishing that day (in a boat, by the way that he recently purchased, stored in a rental place, and told nobody about).

After a five-and-a-half months trial, they found him guilty this afternoon. First degree in the death of Laci (which mean he premeditated the murder) and second degree for Connor (can anyone please explain to me how you can premeditate the death of a pregnant woman, but not the death of the fetus she carries? I am baffled.)

Anyway, that is the short of it. Go to GOOGLE and search for Scott Peterson and you'll get plenty more info.... if you can stomach it.

I have not followed this case much because it has been beyond my comprehension that someone could be this cold, or do this.

But I knew, and prayed that God would prevail.
(Don't ask me how, I cannot explain)

I am just glad that Lacy and Connor are in a better place now, where there is not pain or sorrow.

This verdict shows me that there is a God, and that there is vengeance, not mine, not yours, but His.

Please pray for Lacy AND Scott's parents, for peace. For healing, and forgiveness. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

Love in Christ,
Miss M

Thanks snowbelle. I did follow up your post with a news search.

It sometimes humbls me that 'ordinary' people can visit such premediatted evil upon others.

We grow up thinking that there is a semi-mythical, different " they" , like Nazis and other war criminals, who have a switch set allowing them to purpetrate evil. It chills me when 'ordinary' folks like this fertilizer salesman can kill his pregnant wife ( and baby) and cut off her head to facilitate the convenience of his life.

At least the jury recognized that he was "shoveling it" all this time.

Bob -

Ordinary people do bad things. There is a real evil in the world. We all think that we would never be a Nazi, a member of the KKK, a murderer.

But any of us could go there. My friend and mentor always says that the most dangerous time in a child's life is in his mother's womb.
