In a letter to the Modesto Bee, Lee Peterson says:
"My son was convicted because he had an affair. He was convicted by a jury full of hatred because of the way Scott was vilified in the media... Scott will be freed through the appellate process in time, mark my words."
Lee Peterson was responding to news reports last week that the Laci Peterson case cost taxpayers $4.1 million dollars.
The truth doesn't seem to enter into the Peterson family dynamic.
Dead wrong; the appeal is ONLY about mistakes the judge made; he bent over backwards for Geragos and Peterson.
BTW, just so you and Lee will know, you don't have to prove motive, nor identify a crime scene, nor even prove how death occurred.
Really? I wonder how Laci's family is feeling.
Scott Peterson was convicted because the jury believes he killed his wife and unborn son. The evidence showed him to be a manipulative, sociopathic, pathological lying narcissist with no remorese and no feelings of any kind.
His lack of emotion upon his guilty verdict speaks volumes, IMO. It is beyond me that one who is truly not guilty of a crime would sit there calmly while being read a verdict of "guilty" for the crime.
The guy did it and he won't be free ever again. Mr. Peterson needs to accept the fact that he raised a sociopathic murderer.
Dad has some serious denial problems.
Well, there's the rub; he can't or won't. Like the letter writer said, if he really was innocent, he should have taken the stand.
I am curious about the cost of an investigation, any investigation. The people who conduct the investigation are county/city/state employees are they not? They get a salary whether they are sitting on their butts or gathering information, correct? Where does the huge cost come from, overtime, lab test? Where?
Sad, true, and funny all at the same time.
I think Lee needs to take a couple of puffs from his wife's oxygen tank to clear his head!
This is something we should worry about...
As for Scotty well he is home.
There is always a FIRST TIME.
Mr. Peterson has his head stuck in the sand.
I saw the book written by Scottie's half-sister at Costco today. She says he's a killer.
Interesting that he doesn't even mentioned his murdered daughter-in-law, just whining about his perverted murderous son who killed both his wife and son only days before Christmas and then dumped them in the ocean while he carried on a torrid affair and sneared at the searchers and we the public.This is truly a disgusting family.
Oh, I see your point. My bad! :)
Removal of one's head from one's body almost always brings death
It is just so glaring that there is no mention of his grandson; it's still all about the golden boy who can do no wrong.
He's a fool. No wonder his son is one as well.
Scott Peterson was convicted on VERY STRONG circumstancial evidence. Which is what almost all convictions are based on.
This conviction will only be overturned if there is found to have been a gross error made by the court, prosecution, or police.
It will never be overturned just because they don't know the manner of the murder.
Yes, I did read it; I felt like I was right there!
They are a sick family; toxic, in fact.
