Freak show continues as the Petersons try to resurrect the family image.

[Constitution Day]

Peterson Case Attracts Devout Followers

She is a regular at the Scott Peterson murder trial, rising before dawn to try to win a seat in the gallery, but Ginger Hood-Akers wants to make it clear she is not crazy and she is not a loser who needs to get a life....
"I can't tell you how many times I dreaded jury duty, and here I am voluntarily," says Hood-Akers, who works nights in an intensive-care unit for sick newborns. "Some of my friends on `the outside' don't get it. They think we're nuts."

[gridlock]

This poor man. His wife and child were brutally murdered right before his eyes. Hasn't he suffered enough?!?

[shuckmaster]

I haven't been following this case too close but, like most here haven't been able to escape seeing bits of it constantly poping up on the news.

My dumb question for the day - Did he ever get around to admiting the murder or is he still pleading innocent?

Thanks in advance for your reply but I'll be too busy ignoring the case to get back into this conversation...

[SheLion]

20 witnesses for Snott's side? Fox reported that one juror even fell asleep.

Even if they give him the death sentence, he will still be alive 20 years from now. He has 4 appeals and they could take forever.

[OldFriend]

This family created a monster. And listening to the father say he couldn't think of anything worse than having his son on death row............

Well, I can think of something much much worse. Having a daughter and unborn baby murdered by a philandering lying scum of a husband.

[sissyjane]

Good Morning everyone.

I'm too busy to check in often, but am trying to stay updated on this case. Thanks for this thread. We're moving, so back to packing........

[freds6girlies]

Uh, these people are delusional.
What part of CONVICTED MURDERER do they not get.
He's either on death row (which would be better for him ie, access to appeals)
or LIFE WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.
Hello people. You've already lost him.

[Protagoras]

"I would be devastated. I can't even imagine. I'd be wrecked," said his half-brother, John.

Still reeling from Lacies' death I imagine. < /sarcasm>

I just heard an interesting little blurb on the top of the hour news. It seems that Geragos won't be representing Scotty during his appeals. He'll have a public defender. I guess Jackie and Lee don't have anything left to mortgage.

[cajun-jack]

kalifornicate isn't going to kill him even if he gets the death penalty and after 7 years if he gets life, he is eligible for parole.

What is the big fuss all about?

[Thinkin' Gal]

"I would be devastated. I can't even imagine. I'd be wrecked," said his half-brother, John.

Poor Johnny.

Isn't there anyone in this family who will place the true victims ahead of themselves? Mercy has it's proper place: with the Rochas. Being merciful to Laci's family = DP for Scooty the scooper, the BS peddler. Her family should not even be put in a position of prostration to a jury. Who cares if Laci was a perfectly lovely lady. Or not. The poor girl and her baby were murdered by the person who should have been their no. 1 trusted defender. This hideous crime speaks for itself.

It'll probably take prison style justice to send this psycho to his permanent eternal home. Arafat is eager for companionship.

I heard today that snot admitted that he had used a blue tarp to load up the umbrellas, and a blue tarp was found in the bay a couple days after he went fishing. I also read that investigators believe he wrapped her body in a blue tarp to hide forensic evidence. I wonder if he ever explained away why a blue tarp was found in the bay, or whatever happened to his blue tarp?
