I'm not saying he is innocent. Since I wasn't there during the trial, I don't have access to all the "evidence". So the fact he was convicted, didn't shock me. What I didn't like was that he was give the death penalty. I don't like giving someone the death penalty where there is ZERO physical evidence that they actually commited the crime.

I'm not asking for the perfect CSI type evidence, but show me something, ANYTHING that even ties him to the murder before giving him the death penalty. You will never convince me that the death penalty is OK in that case.

Maybe in the 20 years he sits on death row, some physical evidence may indeed be found, or more of Terri's remains may appear (though doubtful)with forensic evidence, or new technological advances will be able to detect this evidence on the Laci/Conner's bodies (after an exhumation).

I would be very surprised if any exculpatory evidence comes forward in the next twenty years, however.

I won't try to convince you the death penalty is ok in Scott's case.

I will however leave with my satisfaction expressed that he is going to get it.
