I have yet to figure out the mainstreams' fascination with the Peterson murder. Check out these statistics I ran across:

"On average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country every day. In 2000, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner. The same year, 440 men were killed by an intimate partner.

Pregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to be victims of homicide than to die of any other cause , and evidence exists that a significant proportion of all female homicide victims are killed by their intimate partners."

I knew that many people were killed by spouses/sig. others, but didn't know the numbers were that high. Especially sad when the woman is pregnant and a totally innocent child is killed too.

Tragic statistic.

You forgot that last part.

It's not hard. He probably killed her, and he'll probably get away with it.

That doesn't happen every day.
