FEMALES 'FLOCK' TO LACI HUBBY
By KATE SHEEHY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 16, 2003 -- Slay suspect Scott Peterson has won a legion of female admirers who deluge him with encouraging letters as he awaits trial for allegedly murdering his wife and unborn son, it was reported yesterday.
Peterson's California jail cell is literally littered with supportive letters from women - including one who's doing hard time for killing her husband, the Modesto Bee reports.
Criminal-justice expert Jeanette Sereno told the paper, "If you don't see him as responsible for the [slayings], he's a very sympathetic young man, someone who the whole world is against.
"People out there have a need to come to the rescue of someone beleaguered."
Prison officials have already acknowledged the possibility of a real physical threat against Peterson, who is accused of killing pregnant wife Laci just before Christmas and their unborn son, Connor.
Guards at the jail where he is being held near Modesto make sure his food tray is picked randomly from a stack in case of a poisoning attempt.
Officials also change the times of his rooftop exercise sessions to reduce the chances of a possible sniper attack.
When he is brought to and from the roof, inmates whose cells he must pass along the way also are temporarily removed so that they can't try to assault him.
Details of Peterson's jail stay came as another report said he had been caught on phone tapes, just after his pregnant wife vanished, repeatedly trying to talk a lover into handing over damning snapshots of them.
Peterson, unaware that girlfriend Amber Frey's cell phone was being tapped by cops, obsessively bombarded her with calls up to four times a day in early January - always opening their conversations with the same, gushy "I love you," sources familiar with the phone transcripts told Newsweek.
Peterson has denied killing his pregnant wife.

Yeah, they are dying to have his child...
Believe me, if he's convicted, I'm going to send him such a nasty note! Here you have a big, handsome guy; he could've had just about any woman. He gets married to one, gets her pregnant, and then he kills her and her kid! What an @$$hole!
