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.
And I think deep down, even Laci's parents know that--though their anger at the defense of a murderer is COMPLETELY understandable. I'd be mad, too.
I remember seeing the murderer sitting at the trial every day, looking (I thought) very confident that he'd get away with his crime. And my blood boiled. I was satisfied justice had been done when the verdict and sentence were announced.
The Rocha family knows the tragic story of their beautiful daughter. All the words in the world the Peterson's could say would never ever ever be enough. Not for eternity.
And the delusion the Peterson's are choosing to buy into--that Scott is a victim--are the natural, sad consequences of a parent's love for their child. I am not excusing their hateful words or saying they are right or even justified. I am saying they need to be held up to God so they can deal with reality.
