All they're accomplishing by this is demonstrating him as a conscienceless psychopath.

Oh come on, just because he beheaded and dismembered his wife and sank her pregnant body in the San Francisco Bay, that doesn't mean he didn't love her and her unborn child. Have pitty on him, he lost his wife and kid.

Frankly, anyone that would try to portray this guy as anything other than Satan's spawn, is someone I'd avoid like the plague. "Oh sure, he's a brutal killer, but he was such a cute kid." Oui vey!

His relatives are some very sick sub-humans.

"He's always been a very strong and stable person..." said Fritz. "He's had a positive impact on everybody he meets..."

"He's always been a very strong and stable person that I've always looked to as a role model. Sometimes I think about what Scott would do in a certain situation," said Fritz. "He's had a positive impact on everybody he meets.

Isn't that one of the basic definitions of a psychopath?

Yeah right!....just throw the switch!....

"He was a really nice guy before he murdered his family".

And the whole thing is nonsense in California. This guy will die of old age in the pen while playing cards and watching TV even if he gets the death penalty.

The judge pulled a tissue from a box, but only used it to clean his desk.

I love that! Seriously, what is the defense hoping to do here? This just makes Scotty look all the more cold-blooded. How does his sainthood mitigate the heinous deed? Are we to believe that the Saint suffered a momentary lapse in his sainthood when he murdered his wife and unborn child and dumped the bodies in the bay? Other than one slip of the halo, he's nigh unto perfect!

[A CA Guy]

Many Saints died young and horribly.

Lots of people are really nice, until they kill someone.
