"May 16, 2003 -- Laci Peterson was savagely carved up, her killer cutting off her head and removing internal body parts, a chilling new report said yesterday. "

Sadistic sex gone awry. Watch out for LIBERALtarians to come running to Scott's defense.
<pSeriously, I believe it was Scott. Of course I don't have all the facts but I'm just connecting the dots. If he is proven to be the one, has has EARNED captial punishment and should have NO choice on how it is done. Laci nor Conner didn't have a choice on death either.

thanks for the ping rb........found a little tid-bit last night on this jack the ripper cult type killing perposed by the defense. It can be determined by science if the victom was alive or dead when body parts were removed, if limbs fell off do to trama or from natural causes.

Perimortem Trauma
Five characteristics:
- Sharp edges (fragment edges & fracture lines
- Hinging - bone bent away from blow
- Formation of fracture lines
- Shape of broken ends - angled with jagged surfaces
- Sometimes staining from hematoma

Postmortem Trauma:
Though not related to death, it must be distinguished
Usually related to recovery & transport.

Postmortem Trauma Characteristics:
. Breaks rarely exhibit radiating fracture lines
. Tends to snap - no green stick or hinge fractures
. Long bones tend to break at right angles to long axis
. Color of break is different from other bone surfaces

Sadistic sex gone awry. Watch out for LIBERALtarians to come running to Scott's defense. In reality you don't have any of the facts, and yet you freely admit that you believe it was Scott? Not really too surprising considering the tone of all of these posts. If taking a wait and see attitude makes me a LIBERALtarian, so be it.
