Peterson decision at 1:30 PST! (Decision is in-Sentence is DEATH)

[kcvl]

Fox News...

[Quilla]

My sentiments exactly. While I believe Peterson killed his wife and unborn child, there is no direct, concrete proof. Like you said, circumstantial. There's no way I could give him the death penalty just because I was reasonably sure he committed the crime.

[Sally II]

I think it'll be death, too. I don't know why else the jury would ask for all those peices of evidence this morning. Photos of Lacy's body, etc. And they came to a decision so soon after. I don't think it matters one way or another for Peterson.

[gopwinsin04]

Any last words for the observers Mr. Peterson?

[OldFriend]

If only we could crazy glue Greta's mouth SHUT!

[kcvl]

Scott won't last a year if he doesn't get the death penalty. I really don't care one way or the other because he isn't going to be a happy camper where he is going to be living.

Congrats!! You won the battle of the Breaking News threads.

Suggest you ping admin moderator and ask him/her to put the time zone after the time for the verdict to be announced.

[Petronski]

The sentencing decision is coming in at 4:30 pm so it can interfere with coverage of the Ohio Election Fraud. No, seriously, I read it here.

[cyborg]

From his cajones.

[kcvl]

LOL! I totally agree!

"Gee what's the MSM gonna do now?"

I think they could have REAL fun with a Treason Trial.
U.S. vs. John Kerry ... anyone?

"Gee what's the MSM gonna do now?"

There's always Phil Spector & Robert Blake....

[Semper Paratus]

So what new case can Greta gin up coverage for?

[bigLusr]

there is no direct, concrete proof. Like you said, circumstantial. There's no way I could give him the death penalty just because I was reasonably sure he committed the crime.

That's my gut feeling, too.

But then again... I thought they'd find him not guilty, so what do I know?

[Soul Seeker]

The "experts" don't know what they are talking about half the time. They were shocked at the verdict, so take what they say with doubt.

It's CA, anything can happen. I'm hoping for the death penalty though.

[DaveMSmith]

Friends, he lives in California!!!!! They haven't executed anyone there in DECADES

Perhaps Arnold would be moved to expidite things? ... nah ...

[kcvl]

LOL! The election is still not over for "SOME" people I see. What a bunch of clueless kooks.

[BykrBayb]

Oh yeah. Then I'll bet you $500 he doesn't get toasted.

[cvq3842]

I hope so too. Strictly speaking, it's a "private matter," IMHO, in that it does not affect ME or the other average Joes, like, say, a major economic development or election result would. I'm NOT trying to be selfish or insensitive - just the opposite. I think that the media needed to be involved when it was a missing persons case, but after that the victims' family should have their privacy.

It's a shame that this horror has been used largely to sell magazines and garner ratings. And although I try to avoid the coverage, I'm guilty for "continuing the cycle" by reading and watching as much as I did.

Sorry for the sermon, but I agree with your general point.

[joyce11111]

I think it will be the death penalty.
