I don't believe for a moment that Scott will survive in San Quentin more than a year or two.

Hopefully he will get the Anally Injected Death Sentence, before the state does their injection.

I understand the inference...;-)

He was accused of 2 murders not just murdering a pregnant lady.

Unfortunately, the innocent individual.

A lot of those have been executed . . . at least according to them.

Well, you can't officially have a name unless you have a birth certificate.

Say WHAT!!! Please tell me that the state hasn't gotten to your brain to that degree! Please? Please?

Now for years and years on death row, a tax burden for the rest of us

Well, unfortunately the tax payers of California are paying that "Two for the price of one" ticket. A pretty steep bargain to provide for a convicted murderer for the next 20+yrs.

Well, now let's think about this. How could the court records refer to him as anything but "baby Peterson" or, more technically, "fetus Peterson"? There were no official documents stating a name for him, just anecdotal evidence.

Personally, I would prefer if the media would refer to the person in question in the same way the court records do.

I heard he was going to PB. I thought it was strange since the inmates at PB are the worst of the worst. Scotty is bad, but these guys would rip him to pieces.

Scott's mother gave away two children born out of wedlock before marrying Scott's father.

This is a woman who thinks it's okay to simply abandon life's little inconveniences.

At San Quentin, where death row is, the inmates have single cells. And it is a horrible place. Don't think for one minute that this is going to be a cushy wait for the needle.

What would you want her to do abort them? I think this trashing of scotts mother is terrible. He is still her son. I think his family especially her is in heavy denial.

"I look at it this way: he's getting both the death penalty and life imprisonment. Two for the price of one"

That's the way I look at it. He was all primed for living the high life...golf - sex and big time rock and roll.

I can live with the fact that he can sit in his state 'play pen' now and rot his miserable life away.

One pregnancy out of wedlock and giving the baby up for adoption is exemplary.

I would assume she figured out that pregnancy isn't caught like a cold and would be taking charge of her life after that sad time.

Two kids.....right...I forgot. Yes, this woman is NOT a nice person. Scott's half sister (who got in touch with the family ) said Jackie's main concern was helping Scott form an alibi while Laci was missing. She also said some "not so nice" things about Laci and told a babysitter "I wish Scott could meet somebody like you." THIS WAS WHILE LACI WAS STILL MISSING. Cold woman.

anecdotal evidence

Oh c'mon now...you're quickly losing credibility! Everyone involved know his name was Connor. Why exactly does the state have to bless that name? Remember, the state is NOT sovereign...God is sovereign!

Poor Laci......when I heard her mom that very first time, pleading for her return, I thought my heart would break.
