Scott Peterson...Fair Trial?

Scott was innocent: they wouldn´t have made a big deal out of it if he was guilty. This was done to show their power to all. There were at least two other pregnate women and their babys sacrificed and thrown in the bay before Lacy. This was covered up. Same way with O. J. and Martha they were innocent also. These are all created crimes to fill the airways and show their power over us slaves!

Who cares?
Just another overblown murder trial.

Are you that detached with your own life you have to live through others? Will this trial somehow change your life?

I´m not sure because I wasn´t presented with the evidence...but one thing is really weird...

Doesn´t seem like California is like the Capital of killing quite pregnant women? Like since at least Manson? I think Peterson´s side does make a case to investigate satan worshipers types...

Wish he didn´t act so darn guilty though, and talking about "losing his wife" etc....and appearing to flee the country probably cost him his life more than anything.

Perhaps you will be convicted without any evadence someday for something you didn´t do,
WEAR IT WELL, AND SMILE.

Call me crazy, but if I was ever brought up on murder charges (falsely or not) I´d like the people who were going to decide my fate to take some time to do it.

That´s why *I* care.

guilty

And when the jury comes back after deliberating your trial for 15 minutes what are you going to do? Jump up on the bench and demand that they go back and talk about it some more?

Don´t get around the U.S. "justice" halls too much now, do you?

He got a better trial than his wife and kid did.

Not a fair trial.

A nobody fertilizer salesman has a disappeared, dead, pregnant wife. But the story is in the national news every day, cover of the National Enquirer most weeks, Russians are following the story...

He´s guilty, but he was tried in the media.

The case was poor, and by California legal standards, the prosecution did not make the elements. It never should have been a death penalty case, either.

The drama will play on for the appeal.

I´m not saying he shouldn´t have been punished for it. I´m just wondering if the process that he went thru was proper. At least one juror, Justin Falconer, on his case was kicked off because he believed in the reasonable doubt defense...and did from day one. So he gets shitcanned. Then the doctor/lawyer wants to talk in depth about the case. Shitcanned. Some other woman may have done outside research. Shitcanned. Result? A jury that convicts after eight hours of deliberation.

Next time, it might be a TRULY innocent person. Do we want to get in the habit of putting "hanging judges" on the jury everytime someone gets accused?

Well make your minds up, either we have a jury of 12, or we put all the murder trials on a couple of new TV channels and all vote on it.

No good second guessing them now.

Sure there is. If enough news people see these types of comments on the Net, then maybe next time a person who has no physical evidence linking them to a crime won´t be sent to prison. In essence, Scott was convicted on his character after being accused, his emotional display in court, and his habit of lying. Is he guilty? Probably. But you ought to take more than 8 hours to reach a verdict on it. This isn´t like a cop walked in while he was unwrapping a silk scarf from around her neck and testified to that. That´s a shorter type of verdict...maybe two hours. Getting rid of people who wanted to 1) vote differently than the rest of the jury, or 2) make the jury actually talk out the details seems counter to Justice in my opinion.

We´ve sent a lot of innocent men to prison in the last few years. DNA evidence has freed a few of them. Ever wonder how many more are in prison who don´t have the benefit of DNA admitted evidence to prove their innocence?

The Precedent:

Any one of you can be put to death on circumstantial evidence.

Believe me... it´s the wave of the future.

FAIR TRIAL MY ASS!!!!

oj gets off SCOTT free with PHYSICAL DNA EVIDENCE that he murdered his wife. Poor Whitey gets convicted and sent to the gallows on CIRCUMSTANCE ALONE.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET A FAIR TRIAL WHEN THE DEATH PENALTY IS DECIDED SEPARATE FROM THE CONVICTION? 1st degree murder is 1st degree murder. AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

Fucking whore justice system. Fucking illiterate bleeding heart juries. Fuck em.

"The case was poor, and by California legal standards, the prosecution did not make the elements. It never should have been a death penalty case, either."

I agree.

The prosecution had piles of proof that Scott was a lying weasel faced scum bag, but nothing at all to prove he murdered anybody.

I don´t think this case set a precedent for somebody being convicted and sentenced to die on circumstantial evidence... but it should be a lesson for habitual liars. In the right light, lying (even to your secret lover) can get you the death penalty.

Try to lie your way out of that..

The groups that are trying to correct some of these bad cases are so busy trying to free the innocent - especially those on death row.

It is probably never going to happen - but the federal government should fund a rework of all old DP cases where the accused is already dead and DNA soaked evidence is still available for additional testing. That would be the end of the DP in this "land of the free."

good enough to bttnd

I wonder what goro would say about the peterson trial.

I wonder what Brian Boitano would say about the peterson trial.

If you have to ask, he didn't get a fair trial unless you are guilty until proven innocent.

Bro fuck off cunt
