May 6 (ABC7) — Scott Peterson's father is breaking months of silence, lashing out at the Modesto Police Department and the media for his son's murder conviction. Local Headlines
'Finger' Lady On Her Way To San Jose Cinco de Mayo Celebration Gets Violent 72-Hour Ultimatum Issued For East Bay Hostage Scott Peterson's Father Breaks His Silence 12 Sex Predators Arrested In South Bay Castro Valley Double Shooting Suspect Wanted 2,000 S.F. Phone Customers Without Service Through Weekend 'Subway Bandit' Pleads Not Guilty In South Bay
More local news...
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.
"No, Lee....your son was convicted of a double murder"
Exactly. Scott wasn't convicted for having an affair. He was convicted for murdering two humans because they became an inconvienence to his delusional playboy lifestyle.
I see, no motive. A sexual affair is a classic motive and the mere fact that he told the subject of the affair that his wife had recently died and he was single and available has nothing to do with what we call motive, hey.
This dope is clearly in denial.

You are right about one thing.............."the enemy is us" if we can't see the difference between black and white. He is clearly as guilty as they come. You may need to clear your sinuses or something.
Bwaaaa-haaa-haaa!
Well, bless Lee's heart... he's still worshipping the "golden child."
Goes to show us all, exactly how Snott's parents enabled him all his life. Yes, their perfect Snott, is not a sociopathic double murderer, for crying out loud, he is the VICTIM!
Well, think about it, Howlin. If the Peterson's had an ounce of decency in their body, they'd have to ask, "What went wrong?" "Are we somehow responsible?" "Is there something we failed to do in raising our son to cause such behavior?"
And if they are honest enough to acknowledge some degree of blame, what then? How do they deal with that truth. How do they now deal with the publics opinion of them?
For the Peterson's, it would seem that it's easier to live in Make Believe Land rather than seek out truth.
:-)
I've felt all along that a normal parent would have "gotten" the truth out of her son one way or the other.
Maybe they just consciously rejected any thought that might have even led them to even be the least bit suspicious.
I keep thinking about Sirhan Sirhan; at one of his parole hearings, he said he had been reading up on Bobby Kennedy, and he felt like, if Kennedy were alive, he'd want him to be released from prison after all these years.
That night Jay Leno said, "Talk about back luck: the one guy who would defend him and he killed him."
Scott Peterson killed more than Laci and Conner that night. It may be years and years from now, but the Petersons will "get it" one day; I just hope we don't have to listen to them moan and groan until then. Just go away.
Hold on. My assumptions are not invalid: your seeming conclusion is to blame the sins of the child upon the father. That conclusion is not necessarily a logical one.
The parents' contribution to his character may or may not have been a positive one--we can agree or disagree. Scott is responsible for his actions, I think we both agree fully.
We've all seen good parents have children that choose to be monsters.
I stand by my belief that the Peterson's need prayer.
On balance, I think we agree more than we disagree.
I don't deal very well with people like Peterson's father who are in denial. It's a pernicious form of willful stupidity.
Sorry, I missed your post earlier; you're just a better person than I am; they are a very hard family to pray for, unless you want to pray for them to do the right thing and encourage their son to do the right thing and admit what he has done and tell the Rocha family what happened to their daughter.
If you read Crier's book, you'll be convinced you're right. As I said, toxic.
Yeah your right, they guy goes on to his girlfriend about his wife's death and the fact that he is no a bachelor (and available) and the bodies turn up many miles from home where he said he was (and fishing although none of that fishing stuff added up to fishermen) and You believe his dad is right and he is innocent. cool........
Well,Well,at least Lee Peterson has one other person in this Universe that believes like him.No further comment on your point of view. Thankfully, Scott, the murderer of his wife and only son is locked away for good and hopefully the full sentence will be imposed sooner rather than later!
I have not read it yet.
Did you know that the Sr. Peterson's are trying to find a publisher to write a book? They can't find one who will publish their book is what I heard. These people are not delusional they are COMPLETELY DISHONEST. They KNOW that Snott killed Laci and Conner. They knew from the beginning. Anne Bird summed it up in her book by quoting Jackie as saying " The IMPORTANT thing is we MUST PROTECT Scott"!! GAG ME!!
"I hope his conviction will be reversed."
Wow! Voices of reason in the chaos of the lynch mob! I'm impressed!
I agree with both of you.
No evidence worthy of a conviction.
Howlin', I copied you just to get you all stirred up again! :-)
