The Scott Peterson Trial:
Can the Prosecution Win This Largely Circumstantial Case?The Scott Peterson Trial: Can the Prosecution Win This Largely Circumstantial Case? By JONNA M. SPILBOR
----
Thursday, Jun. 17, 2004
On June 2, the long-awaited trial of 31-year-old Scott Peterson finally got underway. Peterson, as has been widely reported, is accused of capital murder based on allegations that he killed his wife, Laci, and their unborn son on Christmas Eve 2002.
So far, prosecutors haven't exactly come out swinging. And that is largely because, it seems, they don't have much to swing with.
Conspicuously absent from the prosecution's evidence locker so far is any blood or other bodily fluid evidence consistent with a killing. Indeed, prosecutors have failed to offer any physical evidence linking Scott to the crime. Nor have they come forward with a cause of death for either Laci or the couple's son.
Defense attorney Mark Geragos, by contrast, did come out swinging. In his opening statement, he proclaimed that, "The evidence is going to show clearly, beyond any doubt, that not only was Scott not guilty, but stone-cold innocent." This audacious move meant the defense voluntarily shouldered a burden that legally, it never must bear: The burden to prove innocence......

Seemingly in California murder is a laughing matter. As is child molestation and other assorted perversions.

I know murder trials are serious but I don't want to hear about them weeks on end when there are other really serious things going on in the world.

The jury's decision has already been rendered: not guilty. He'll walk away just as fast as OJ did.

Try CSpan and search out articles in the NYT ,Washington Post...or our sidebar. I'm listening to FAA report on 911 on Fox..hmmmm.
Try to avoid any thread that says Peterson or Rocha on FR..There's usually one a day so you must be vigilant.

Peterson
must be quilty, because he
looks guilty. If he were innocent, he would look innocent! A trial is just to establish guilt and since he's guilty, let's just lynch him.

"The jury's decision has already been rendered: not guilty. He'll walk away just as fast as OJ did.'With sightly different spin....
When the 'news' becomes concerned with an aside comment about a witnesses time charges [which could address her truthfulness] I have to believe they've decided the prosecution has no case.

Alright, rb. Trapped another one. These birds can't see the stick and the string.

Shades of OJ. Geragos is a slimeball, just like all the OJ lawyers. Peterson is guilty as sin, just like OJ. Will this be another OJ travesty in the end? Could be.

He does not just look, guilty, HE IS GUILTY. His wife's body shows up where he just happened to be fishing? Coincidence? I don't think so...
