First, let me say that I believe Peterson's guilty as could be of these TWO murders and, while I could never delight in anyone being put to death, I think he deserves it.

But, Geragos did the worst job in memory as a defense lawyer. If he hadn't started the whole show off with all these silly "alternative theories" of the crime and phantom murderers and promises that he'd produce the "real killers", etc., etc., they would have had a shot at "reasonable doubt" at trial. If Peterson is ever actually executed, there should be some way to force Geragos to be the one to pull the switch. I figure that since his antics started the process toward the death chamber, he ought to have to follow through and finish the job.

I wouldn't want this guy as my lawyer for ANYTHING, much less a capital murder case.

Some people don't have the stomach for it,but I'd like to be the one flipping the switch.Geragos is a lousy lawyer.I'm glad he lost.Some people thought the evidence was slim,but he[Peterson ] sure did have a quilty smirk.I don't see how anyone else could have done the murders[Lacy and child]but him.
