Please people, Conner was a baby.
Nope, no bias here.
So much for his dream of a luxury suite on death row.
The superintendent sent a letter to the director who called the Governor's office. The Gov called someone in DC and the law was changed the next week and signed by the president. I think it was during Reagan.
If Scott Petersen was the beneficiary, no one should receive the money. I can’t stand insurance companies, but they should not have to pay.
One would also think that all 50 states and DC have laws stating the same thing.
If Scott is on death row, how the heck can he spend the $250,000? So close but yet, so far...
OK. Speaking as an attorney, I can’t believe no one pointed out on this thread the sickness illustrated by this story: the American legal system requires a judicial ruling that a man who murders his wife and their unborn child, is found guilty of the murders and is sentenced for those murders, he cannot collect on her life insurance. For this there had to be lawyers, pleadings filed, briefs, argument before a judge, judicial staff time, etc?????!!!!!!
He should be sentenced to be executed, revived and executed again and the judiciary should be disbanded. Let the kid in the local scout troop with the best grade point average judge cases.
It should go to next of kin, which I believe would be children first, then parents, then siblings.
