Scott Peterson

[done_got_old]

What are you opinions on the guilty verdict?

 

[Cathleen]

I'm not shocked at all. I thought he was guilty but didn't follow it all that closely. What I had heard of his behaviors, there was so much that didn't add up, or actually did add up I should say.

Crimes of passion usually have those odd or off behaviors that tell the story. By putting the pieces together, logically and with decent evidence, and using common sense, most likely will bring the correct verdict.

I wonder if there was a pressure each juror felt about the 'world watching us' feeling. I wouldn't want to be a juror on that type of case.

I agree with you 100%. For the next several months/years the jurors, as well as the will still be scrutinized.

 

[Missingmeds]

I think that he has an excellent case for appeal and I don't think that they will convict him the second time around.

What basis do you believe he has the best chance(s)? Why?

I didn't follow it much, too sensational ~ I feel badly for those involved, the lives of all meant far more then the media circus that ensued.

 

[lovemetender]

I think he is guilty as sin...
hey did OJ ever find the real murderers?

No, they are still on the loose.

then I better go lock the doors

Because the judge ruled some defense evidence inadmissible that should have been admitted. I think that his lawyer knew that he would have an appealable case and I also think that his lawyer knows that he can win it on appeal.

Do you know what evidence? Again, I didn't follow it closely.

 

[Missingmeds]

The defense wasn't allowed to show a tape that was made showing how they tried to do what they said that he did and kept swapping the boat. The Judge's reasoning was that the conditions were not the same as they were the day that Scott Petersen supposedly disposed of the body.

But yet the prosecution was allowed to show a video in which the boat was actually tied to a dock.

I would also think that the whole thing with the jury would be reason for appeal.

But then I am not a lawyer either.

I have heard that they are also looking at criminal charges with some of the jury.

I think there will be appeals based soley on problems with the jury. You can rest assured both sides are working on how they will proceed when the case goes through the appeals process.

Of that I have no doubt DGO.

 

[mayi]

just because i can

what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?? i did not see any thing that would make me thing he did it. yes he was having an affair and in my opinion he was not happy in his marriage, but doe that make him guilty of killing?? if that was the case then you could starting putting men in jail all the time.

we were not there, but i think the fact two people were removed fromt he jury and then a day later he is guilty.......smells to me and not like fish.

I agree with you mayi about nothing that I saw makes me think that he is guilty and I honestly think that they may have even had an open marriage.

 

[SensualMale]

Weird!

It looked like they threw out some people from the jury because they didn't agree with the others! Weird.

 

[Joey3308]

I haven't heard all the facts yet on the Peterson case but I do find it unusual to be kicking people off the jury in the last minute. The one person from the jury I heard interviewed said he thought there was considerable doubt.

I do believe to this day as I always have that OJ is innocent

 

[Missingmeds]

Joey if you really believe your last remark, you and I need to talk. Because I have the same opinion, and I get people that are surprized at me for it all the time.

Gee, I thought I was the only one. He didn't do it. It was so obvious a frame right from the start. All anyone needed to do was take a good objective look at all the evidence and use a little common sense.

If you had just slashed two people up you'd be covered in blood. Your "white" Bronco would have smudges and hand and finger prints all over it, the handles and the steering wheel. His car had mere tiny drops of blood as though they were sprayed there (from a test tube). You wouldn't leave a bloody glove behind a building....why would you be there anyway....it makes no sense....the glove was put there. So many things just didn't add up...especially the time line.

Anyway that's my opinion. I hope some day we'll find out for sure who did it.

 

[Missingmeds]

And that while glove thing to start with. Those were driving gloves, they are treated to be waterproof. They don't shrink when they get wet, be it blood or water.

I agree that it was a setup. The whole blood on the back gate was proof of that. Plus the fact that two children that he fathered lived on that property. Kids get little scrapes and cuts all the time that bleed.

So, no Joey, you aren't the only one.

i feel SO much better..................why is it people jump to conclusions and not look at it objectively????

would you want that if it was you in the hot seat??

 

[done_got_old]

Whether or not he's guilty, I think there is cause for appeal, simply because of the jury problems.

Having set on several murder cases, I'm always concerned when the defendant doesn't testify. Jury instructions usually include something about not assuming they are guilty because they didn't testify, but it leaves so many questions unanswered.

I doubt that he will take the stand during the penalty phase either. This case will probably drag on for several more years....

sympathy

I think he would have gotten more sympathy from the jury if he said he was a widower.

 

[done_got_old]

Re: sympathy

Perhaps. I'm really trying not to smile at that. Can you imagine the anger from Laci's family? There would have been a few jurors who would have decided then and there that he was guilty!



Two old ladies meeting for tea.

Can you imagine the gall of that murderer?

Yes, calling himself a widower.

Nothing but a damned murderer, that's what he is!

Ought to be thrown in the ocean wearing a concrete suit.

That would show him.
