PETERSON GUILTY (Guilty 1st Deg M/Laci, Guilty 2nd Deg M/Conner w/Special Circumstances)

[najida]

(About DU)Of all the posts, only two were praising that justice had been done. 95% of them were WEIRD. Devoid of any value judgement on this thing.

Yep, that is the most noticable thing about them. They live in a very floating grey world without corners. Morals and values are alien.

Guilty...YES! Justice for beautiful Lacy and baby Connor *snif*.

Wonder if we will ever again see the death penalty carried out in CA??

I got so tired of seeing the smirk on the bastard Peterson's face. Wish I could have seen his face when the verdict was announced.

I know his type...lots of married guys hung out and trolled for babes at the World Sports Cafe in Fresno...I used to go there when I lived in Fresno on Sundays to watch the NFL games...it was quite the show to see these guys trying to pick up women...with their wedding ring on, or an obvious white "ring" where it was until a few minutes before....

They do fry them occasionally.

I worked at ESL in Sunnyvale, Ca. when Richard Farley came in and killed 7 of my co-workers. He was found guilty, and sentenced to death. The only thing is that he is still on death row, and it has been almost 15 years since he committed the crime.

I've always wondered how Hume could go on after becoming a victim of his son's death from Xlinton

[WildTurkey]

Maybe the last guy (just a guess) thought he was guilty of 1st but had a buyer's remorse about the death penalty.

[Yaelle]

Why wasn't connor's death 1st degree? He certainly knew he was killing him too.

My guess is that it has to do with what this jury thought the motive was. They must have thought (wrongly, IMHO) that he wanted LACI out of the way for his other life. Or for his freedom.

Unfortunately, I feel that it was Connor who was the ultimate victim. He was able to fool around on Laci all he wanted. Connor was what was going to saddle him for life. Remember, he also NEEDED to be thought of as the great guy. If he divorced Laci, her family would have hated him. If he didn't pay up for Connor, he would have looked bad. Connor was the ultimate threat to his freedom (and sociopathic "fun").

I have NO problem with that at all.......

Some of you calling for the needle should really evaluate your positions.

Two murders? Special circumstances?

He deserves death.

I can not imagine what Scott's parents must feel. They know their son is a murderer. So they are mourning their son's guilt and the loss of Laci and Connor. Scott's parents loved Laci, it was apparent from photos from when she first disappeared. They lost her and their grandchild. As much as they wanted to believe that their son was not the monster that did this, they have to face that now. I feel for them. I am glad that Laci and Connor got their justice. They can truly rest in peace now. I hope Laci's parents can find some comfort.

ROFL!!!

[My2Cents]

And the precedent tiny Conner Peterson is setting -- well, all I can say is that he did NOT die in vain. Little Conner, who knows how many lives you will be saving, my Angel, by this wonderful legal and official personhood status you have been granted. Bring on the slippery slope!

A heavenly chorus of amens to that.

BILL CLINTON = OJ JURY GEORGE BUSH = PETERSON JURY

you have hit a very large nail square on the head.

character does count.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

So long, Scott. Say hello to Arafart for me when you get down there, 'kay?

[JustPiper]

didn't you just wanna bitchslap him from day one?!

[auboy]

Laci was nine months pregnant. I think Scott knew he was killing Connor when he killed Laci. Or did he just forget Connor ever existed? I don't think so.

Wow, Nancy Grace is crying on air.

Yes, she was really fighting back tears so she could give her report.

I've never seen a reporter nearly cry after a verdict before. After watching hundereds of trials.

[Max7]

What a terrible thing and a terrible heartbreak for his mother to hear about her son, Scott. I cannot imagine the pain that woman must be feeling right now. I would die from heartbreak (which is not to take anything away from Laci's mother). Such a terrible thing Scott is guilty of. My God, her son turned out to be such a worthless sleazeball.

Gotta love it. Check out the tagline.
