Right! Watching what internet posters have done to Ed Smart would make anyone unlucky enough to have such a tragedy think twice before even letting a news crew get near him.

Maybe Scott Peterson heard some of the coverage of the Smart case.

And just maybe his lawyers have told him NOT to say anything. We know how effective getting up to the mike and shedding tears for your loved one is--NADA!! Remember Susan Smith? We need to have a little more compassion for people who have to go through this ordeal. I could choke some of those news reporters for the stupid questions they ask (was she carrying her husband's baby?????). Grrr.

Maybe Scott Peterson heard some of the coverage of the Smart case.

Or the VanDams' ordeal.

As unfortunate as it is, I think the wisest thing to do in a situation like that nowadays is to go to a lawyer quickly, whether you did anything or not.
