The death penalty is too easy for Scott Peterson, who should be forced to rot in prison for years reliving his crime, his former mistress believes.
Amber Frey, the willowy blond masseuse whose steely testimony about his web of deceptions sealed his fate, told NBC's Matt Lauer she would have preferred for Peterson to be sentenced to life in prison instead.
"I felt life [in prison] gives him every day to live with what has happened," she said in her first interview since her ex-lover's conviction. The interview also came just days before her memoir "Witness: For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson" is to be released.
"It's almost to me death is so much simpler ... You know that he doesn't have to live with that every day," Frey told Lauer in an interview scheduled to air on Monday and Tuesday on "Today" and "Dateline."
She became romantically involved with Peterson just weeks before he killed his eight-months pregnant wife Laci and dumped her body into San Francisco Bay.
Frey stayed out of the spotlight since her stunning admission at a 2003 press conference that she had been dating Peterson at the time of his wife's disappearance - and that he had lied to her about not being married.
Court testimony later revealed that when she realized her new boyfriend was the husband of the famously missing Modesto, Calif., woman, Frey agreed to help police by secretly taping phone conversations with Peterson. Those tapes annihilated Peterson's credibility during his trial, as he told her whopper after whopper while police searched for his missing wife.
Frey told NBC her "stomach was turning" as she waited for Peterson to call her. "I was shaking," she said. "My hands were just sweaty."
She also described watching Peterson doing TV interviews shortly after she went public with their affair.
She thought to herself "that he was just a piece of work ... There isn't any truth that comes out of this man's mouth. And I just saw him, you know, as this compulsive liar, I mean, pathological liar."
Scott's "special place" in prison, however, means that he will be looking through bars at that bay where Laci's head lies for the rest of his miserable life.
Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.
Please show me where I called Amber Frey a prostitute, because I can't find it. I said some masseusses give handjobs at the end of the massage and some don't. I also said Amber Frey doesn't have alot of common sense.
Hostile people are the ones who lose credibility. People who can't debate without being insulting come off sounding like 5th graders.
As if Geragos wouldn't have used the prostitute angle, were it true. You'd think Scotty would have mentioned that to his attorney.
A college friend of mine married a masseuse who is very Christian, also with little common sense (as evidenced by the fact that she married the guy). Is she a prostitute also?
Interpret as you wish.
I don't believe he was ever her client.
I believe she once stated about her children born out of wedlock, what would people prefer that she abort them?
I am guessing by your comment that if the death penatly could be administered quickly you would favor that. You seem not to like the long expensive wait. Me neither. I would have been ok with either sentence.
Oh, weasel words. You didn't use the word "prostitute," but, then, you didn't have to:
But I'll be glad to show you what you DID say.
She's a "willowy blond masseuse" and was his "girlfriend?" Yeah right - she was probably just giving him 'happy endings' after the massages, which is prostitution. No wonder he wanted to hang with her so much.
You're right. Years ago when I was still working, I had a male friend that used to go out of town on business. When in his hotel room he always called in a masseuse from a local company for a massage in his hotel room. It usually ended in a hand job. Not always, though. He said that that was part of the excitement, not knowing if they were going to do it or not.
AND:
There's a lot of people who are licensed massage therapists like Amber Frey...it's not a prostitution job....
Some of them are. And going by Amber Frey's background, aren't both of her kids born out of wedlock? She doesn't seem to be someone with alot of common sense.
And just so you'll remember, I never make claims I can't back up.
I don't like the 10 million dollar costs of appeals, no.
The remarkable thing is I think Scott Peterson still has higher favorability ratings than Tom McClintock...
Go figure.
I am forever grateful to Amber for her taping lying giddy Scott's call to her from Laci's vigil, while he is pretending to be at the Eiffel Tower celebrating New Year's..It was chilling.He spoke about the crowd and the music to her as if it was a Parisian NYeve fun gathering.
It took days for him to admit his deception and to tell her Laci was missing...She challenged him about his "I lost my wife" story he gave earlier in December..She asked how could she be missing now when you "lost" her before?..
Please put it in quotes where I called her a prostitute. I still can't find it.
Weasel words, too funny.
I'll try to remember you made a claim that you backed up, when I see it.
Well, apparently I'm not the only one on this thread who thinks you're saying the same thing I said, so I'm pretty confident I made my case.
Your excuse is very akin to "It depends on what the meaning of "is" is."
I'd say agreeing with another poster who claims it is like saying it yourself.
l'm with you on that.Amber was a victim too.Don't tell me that some of you guys didn't meet someone and end up having a romantic relationship.lt's totally wrong to call her names and make her look like the one who did anything wrong.Remember she was't aware of Laci untill after the fact.God Bless Laci and Connor
She backed it up..
Thanks for the ping....I heard on a talk show Scott admitted to bashing Laci with a golf club while drinking Jailhouse booze (some mixture they made) with another inmate...hope I am not stealing a headline from the NE here lol.....as for massage therapists, my daughter just finished a 2 year program at an accredited college for her degree. If someone hears the word massage and associates that with some perverted act, then that is quite revealing of what's on THEIR mind and has nothing to do with those who earn a living helping others overcome their physical handicaps.
Good for her and having had theraputic massage because of two separated shoulders..I know how valuable the massage can be.
Jailhouse gossip on the golf club assertion?...
