"Peterson, who is to be arraigned on charges for the death of his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, was arrested Friday morning ..." reports Sunday's New York Post. We can all agree that Laci was murdered, but I thought that the unborn baby was just a fetus. How can Scott Peterson be arraigned on charges for murdering a non-person? If Laci brought the child to a local abortionist, he could have killed the baby and the state would have paid for it! Actually, Scott probably was not as brutal as the local abortionist. So let's get this straight. If...

Unlike the case of the famous athlete who walked away free after murdering two people, a California jury today did the right thing. Scott Peterson was judged guilty of first degree murder of his wife Laci. And he was judged guilty of second degree murder of his son Conner who was within weeks of entering the world. Two lessons were taught today. First, that even in my state, the land of movie stars, breast augmentation, gay pride, illegal immigrants, fruits, nuts, and whackjobs, sometimes people here can do the right thing. Second, inside Laci was not just a group of...

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Scott Peterson, husband of Laci Peterson, is being arraigned today in a California court on two counts of murder: One for Laci, the other for their unborn child. Pro-choice organizations are understandably uncomfortable about the latter, exposing as it does the convenient lie that abortion isn't somehow murder. "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." Her logic:...

The murder in Modesto and the subsequent circumstances reminded me of an event 25 years ago. From a Google search. Sealed Records are still another phenomena largely reserved for the politically well-connected. In cases where a legitimate criminal or civil inquiry is made which would prove damning to an individual or agency, in many cases that repost is sealed, prohibiting civilians from ever reading it. Now I understand that some documents regarding war efforts are sealed as a matter of national security, but why are the following documents sealed? The Ted Kennedy accident report regarding the death of Mary Jo...

MSNBC reporting that police had found the body of Laci back in mid March by using Sonar. It looked to be wrapped; it was not accessable; it was in very dark murky water; sonar team found; only 4 miles from where ScottyBoy was fishing. But a ship or troller moving through the channel displaced it - then washed up on shore almost ? 3 weeks later. Developing. Watch Rita Cosby at 6 pm ET on Fox.
