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.
