Lori Hacking pinglist--belated posting of the Mark Hacking hearing story. If anyone wants on or off, please let me know via Freepmail.
Whew! I was worried Greta Van Sustren wouldn't have anything to talk about tonight.
To bad we still don't have public hangings.
We could have a two-fer.
Well, thank goodness we have Mark Hacking since the Scott Peterson thing seems to be over. Can't have Greta without a faux celebrity trial to dissect daily.
Mark has seen the fame and fortune visited upon Scott Peterson and he wants his.
"Hacking's attorney, Gil Athay, entered a "not guilty" plea on behalf of his client."
My guess is Hacking was advised by his attorney or he himself sought a not guilty plea in order to get life in prison instead of the death penalty.
I can't believe this pos is pleading 'not guilty'.
Beats how long it took for scotty.
He's gonna lose :~)

Trial will only take 1 week-wow! It is pretty cut and dried that Mark did it, but I don't believe it happened the way he claimed it did. This will be yet another one where we don't know exactly how/why, but this sob will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
I don't see that insanity will fly. Maybe he was insane after he realized what he did. I don't think it was premediated either. He should have been a man early on and it would be over for everyone involved. (except CTV and Fox)
I find it hard to get emotionally involved in these anymore. I'm bothered by the mob rules thing going on and I think the cheering by the masses that gather outside of court houses is vulgar at best.
(Sigh)
Justice is the right thing, and the thing we hope the most for. Lori's mother is right that no matter what, Mark will eventually face the Perfect Judge and answer for his crime.
Here we go again. Another murder the media can't wait to sensationalize.
One wacky husband down, another one to go!
I wonder what MH's brothers are thinking. He confessed to them and now he pleads not guilty. Unless he's calling his own brothers liars, he's anticipating an insanity defense, which is practically impossible to pull off in Utah.
Really not looking forward to some Hollywood hotshot defense lawyer telling everyone that black is white and white is black for yet another year.
Jerilyn Merritt is going ballistic over the verdict. She's tearing into the jury for "unjustly" convicting Peterson. She's even squawking about the cheering of the crowd outside the courthouse.
Sounds like the lawyers talked him into it. This happens all the time and they turn out to be the winner-take-all while their clients sink like a stone.
