Murder: 2 for 1? (Was The Laci Peterson Double Homicide?) my title

I goofed: I meant to add:
(Is The Laci Peterson case one of Double Homicide?) my title

[Darksheare]

What's sickening is that the NOW witch isn't even upset that Laci was murdered. She's upset that her (Known/probable) killer is being charged with the murder of his unborn son.

What kind of logic is that?
Shouldn't the NOW witch be whining about yet another case of a woman being used by an awful hateful MAN?

[evad]

It's hard to even begin to express my disgust for these NOW vermin.

I guess that's all I can say about any and all of their agenda.

[backhoe]

IMO, NOW is digging its own grave by articulating such a position in public. It exposes nakedly their agenda, moral bankruptness, and power-madness. I hope they gets lots of publicity, and keep talking...

[hardhead]

Without a doubt, it is a double murder.

[cgk]

NOW's argument will bury them. They can't rewrite Calif. law as much as they would like to, which has a fetal homicide act going back to 1970. It says if the baby that is murdered is considered "viable" outside the womb, then it is murder, plain and simple. I'd like to see NOW argue that an 8 1/2 month unborn baby isn't "viable."

One other question: NOW's whole premise has been about needing abortion to be legal for "unwanted" pregnancies. Well that is NOT the case with Laci and her baby - who had a name - Connor. The best thing they could have done for themselves would have been to shut up and not comment.

Thankfully, they opened their mouths and are hopefully opening more women's eyes about just how evil they really are. I'm thrilled they made a public statement and questioned why Scott is being charged with murdering his own BABY. As far as I remember - this has always been about women's rights to NOW, not men's rights. If men had rights according to NOW, many abortions would have been stopped by fathers who wanted their babies BORN.

The outrage at the murder of Laci and Connor will spread to even more people with their disgusting slant.

"There's something about this that bothers me a little bit," said Mavra Stark, president of the local NOW office in Morris County, N.J., about the second count. "Was it born, or was it unborn? If it was unborn, then I can't see charging [Peterson] with a double-murder."

NOW is simply trying to get publicity. They are desperate. According to NOW's logic, the unborn child WAS murdered because Laci didn't want it aborted.

Pro-Life ping!

[marlon]

Yes but apparantly Scott didn't want the baby so by their logic doesn't that count?

Don't falme me its a rhetorical question.

What happens in marriages is private. It is presumptuous for any of us non-professionals (and often likewise for degreed referees) to counsel any couple on what goes on in their marriage. Most, if not all, married couples suffer challenges. Usually it is a function of ‘not enough’… not enough money or not enough sex. However, those challenges are part of life and frankly none of our business. Also, a basic tenet of our flawed legal system remains “innocent until proven guilty.” Okay, so much for the caveats.

The arrest of Scott Peterson for investigation of murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, will no doubt dominate the next news cycle now that things are quieter in Iraq.

Prosecutors announced Scott’s arrest in the wake of confirmation that the bodies of Laci Peterson and her baby had washed ashore in Northern California.

Scott has been charged with capital murder with the special circumstance of double homicide, which could carry the death penalty upon conviction. Prosecutors claim they haven’t decided whether to seek the death penalty. Huh!?!?

Notwithstanding the opening caveats, if or when Peterson is convicted, his fate (or the fate of anyone convicted of such a crime) should be a no-brainer. IF Scott killed or arranged for the killing of his pregnant wife, death by lethal injection is waaaaay too modest a result.

As previously noted, you and I don’t know the intimate details of the Peterson marriage. Either or both Petersons might have been bad people. Laci could have been a shrew or had her own fling as payback for her husband’s admitted infidelity. Unlikely, but possible. And even if true, it doesn’t mean ‘Jack’. I can think of no justification for what has been alleged. Even if some wacko attorney tried to manufacture some courtroom fiction, there is NOTHING to mitigate the murder of an unborn child. This tragedy also should raise some interesting moral questions for those myopic pro-choice sycophants defending the indefensible partial-birth abortion.

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said: “There is no question in our mind that the unidentified female is Laci Peterson. We are scientifically convinced that the match is one in BILLIONS.”

Children are precious. The Christmas season is a special family time. How any sane person could ever premeditate the murder of his unborn son on Christmas Eve is an abomination.

Reportedly, Laci’s father, Dennis Rocha, told the family, “Well, they finally arrested the son of a bitch.”

The horrendous special circumstance of double homicide reportedly “would make Peterson eligible for the death penalty.” “Eligible”? “ELIGIBLE”?? HellFireAndDamnation – if ANYONE ever deserved to be removed from the gene pool, skinned alive, eviscerated and fed to maggots for a long torturous death, it has to be the “son of a bitch” who would kill his wife and unborn son on Christmas Eve.

Scott had already told police he last saw his pregnant wife as she was preparing to walk their dog. He told police he then left for the Berkeley Marina for a fishing trip. About two miles north of that same Marina the remains of a baby boy were washed ashore. The next day, the body of a woman was found nearby.

Prosecutors traditionally struggle to place a suspect in the vicinity of a crime scene. Getting such an admission from a suspect is often difficult. Not this time.

The medical marvels of DNA biological profiles match both bodies to those of Laci Peterson’s family.

If Scott Peterson isn’t the victim of some elaborate frame-up, he may not only win the prize for being the most callous, reprehensible murderer since Hannibal Lechter, but also qualify for a Darwin Award.

IF (and I’m bending over backward to maintain the illusion of “innocent until proven guilty”) Scott is responsible for the death of his wife and son, why would he remain in the country when he was so close to Mexico (they arrested him in San Diego) and in fact had already visited Mexico subsequent to Laci’s disappearance and prior to his arrest?

Laci’s family spokeswoman said, “I don’t know if relief is the right word. … The waiting has been horrific … but now they have answers.”

Answers no one really wanted. Frankly, it would have been better if Laci had turned up alive with her baby anywhere – alone, with a guy, or even in a cult waiting for the spaceship to arrive … but alive.

The trial will probably take place in Stanislaus County given the impossibility of finding any venue where a jury pool hasn’t been exposed to the nationally reported details.

IF Scott Peterson is found guilty, no penalty is too harsh. Saddam Hussein tortured thousands during his reign. Perhaps the archives of Hussein atrocities include some outrageously evil example that could serve as what should be done with the murderer of Laci and her son … whoever that son of a bitch might be.

No matter how strongly we agree with Mr. Miller's logic, we must in the next breath acknowledge that it's nothing new. This line of reasoning has been out there for a long, loooonnnngg time.

You can be sure that even the pro-aborts fully understand the logic, but they are not swayed by it. Why?

For the oldest reason in the Book: because they want something different. Human beings have demonstrated the ability to rationalize every horrible thing you can imagine. This is just another example: in almost all cases, abortion boils down to a trade between the life of an unborn, and personal convenience.

We have to be clear on the grounds of this debate: what's really at issue here is the sanctity of life. Pro-aborts are required to deny this fundamental concept, in order to trade it off against convenience.

I've found this "argument from convenience" to be the single most effective tactic in debating pro-aborts. The dirty secret is, they cannot acknowledge the true basis of their proposed trade-off: it's too stark.

...NOW is digging its own grave by articulating such a position in public...

They sure are. Is it too much to hope that a couple of California senators will soon be adding their voices to the fray in support of NOW?

[newgeezer]

It seems some states call it murder if and when the baby is a "wanted" child.

I guess what complicates this case is that the mother wanted the child. The father didn't.

[MHGinTN]

The fact that you are trying to turn this tradgedy into a politically motivated abolishment of a womans right to choose is sickening to me, AND I'M A MAN. I bet you'll stand outside the prison in protest when they fry his ass too, wont ya. NIce try but no soup for you! It is the NOW spokesperso who started try to tie the case to her favored issue, abortion. But you get a little tiny star for trying to mischaracterize. Perhaps with practice, you can learn to be as good at it as a clinton clone.
