No, Lee....your son was convicted of a double murder.

[Kenny Bunkport]

I see. Scott's a "victim."

[SmithL]

Thank you for sharing that, Lee. Now, SHUT UP.

[RushCrush]

innocent,innocent,innocent

Reminds me of Kerry's mother on her deathbed.

[truthkeeper]

This man is delusional.

"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.

Keep hanging on to that thread of Hope, Dad. I suppose I would too, if I had no concept of reality. (This must be affecting Dad's income in a negative way; it was time to take action!)

[MizSterious]

Looks like they're gearing up for the appeal.

How come we don't see more headlines like this?

[HEY4QDEMS]

Lee, why don't you just blame George Bush. That should get most of California and it's lefty Judges on your side.

[martin_fierro]

Nobody cares, Lee.

[BlueNgold]

The heart of the problem, we see, still exists. Scott has been coddled all his life: the Golden Boy who could do no wrong. He thought he would get away with it, and his parents want to help him do so. The arrogance of this family is astounding.
Sad.

[Recovering_Democrat]

You know, the Peterson family really does need prayer. Seriously. I agree with the jury, just like most of America.

Consider how devastated his parents must be--how incredibly unbelievable to them is the fact their son is a murderer. I'm sure they did a good job when Scott was a kid. Scott made a very, very wicked choice. The psychological ruin put on his parents is one of his crimes--a crime for which he has not been convicted.

I might react the same way if my child did something so unbelievably heinous, out of character, out of the blue.

So I urge those of us who believe in prayer to say a little one for Scott's parents. We needn't sacrifice our compassion for them in order to demand justice for Scott's crimes.

[LibWhacker]

Hmmm . . . Where did Scott get all that cash he had on him when he was caught? I don't think I ever heard (which is surprising since it seemed like the media hammered us 24/7 with every sordid detail). IF he got it from his old man, shouldn't Lee be in jail himself for helping his son to flee?

[newfrpr04]

"Cost taxpayers $ 4.1 Million" NOT including the cost keep him for the next 25 plus years plus public defender for appeals. There defense/belief in their son is unbelievable.

[PureTrouble]

"Consider: There was no cause of death, no crime scene, no motive, not a shred of evidence in the home or truck, no background of abuse, not even a harsh word was heard from Scott to Laci by any witness — including Sharon Rocha or Laci's siblings or friends."

I agree with this statement. No proof that a murder was committed just a body and a babies body washed up on shore and the knowledge that she was missing.

He will win on appeal and be set free.

[This Just In]

Money well spent, IMHO.

What is this suppose to suggest, if the cost is too steep, let cold blooded wife and offspring killers go free!?

The cost for that kind of mentality is far more greater, and damaging to society.

[Constitution Day]

Scott Peterson's father is breaking months of silence...

Actually, I was just beginning to enjoy the silence on this issue.

[Niteranger68]

It looks like it runs in the family. Now we have screwball dad to go with belligerent mom and satanic son.

[foolscap]

Dad has some serious denial problems.
