The Scott Peterson Case
Wtf, i dont get it, they dont really have any proof and still he is convicted for murder 
and why is there such a fuss about this case
edit:
hehe found loads of websites to support my case:
| quote: |
| On December 24, 2002 Laci Peterson disappeared from her home in Modesto, California. Less than one hour after her disappearance, her husband Scott Peterson became the major focus of the investigation. Over the next year, 300 law enforcement officers, 98 public agencies, $4 million dollars and more than 30,000 man hours were spent attempting to prove that Scott Peterson killed his wife and unborn son. At the end of the investigation, not one person could produce any evidence as to when, where, how and, most importantly, why Scott Peterson murdered his wife. The case of the People v. Scott Peterson began on June 1, 2004. The six months of testimony included over 180 witnesses as well as a number of revolving prosecution theories designed to fit the ever changing stories of prosecution witnesses. After six months, there was still not one credible theory advanced as to when, where, how or why Scott would murder Laci. |
There was plenty of proof to convict him or do you require an eye witness to view the actual murder?

| Originally posted by St_Andrew no there is not. There is no evidence whatsoever that he actually killed her. If there is show it to me. |

| Originally posted by igottaknow you're right he is innocent, they should release him so he can join OJ on the golf course in search of the "real" killers. |

| Originally posted by St_Andrew well, show me some proof then. |

| Originally posted by igottaknow sorry, no proof for you! |
There was no hard evidence, only circumstantial. I think he probably did it, but I didn't think he'd be found guilty only based on circumstantial evidence, let alone the death penalty. The media seemed to focus on this because it was a good looking couple from the suburbs and the victim was pregnant. The coverage probably had something to do with the outcome. Horrible that it happened, but ridiculous how much coverage it got when many important stories got none. It all has to do with the entertainment aspect of the news to try to draw ratings.

Circumstancial evidence is enough if it proves beyond a reasonable doubt.
^--- proof shmoof. i want "real" proof
thx occ i couldn't be bothered to look up the obvious, but i think st andrew links are more creditble "http://www.scottisinnocent.com". 
The Boogeyman did it!
that jury was part of a kangaroo court and mostly guided by emotion and poor critical and analytical skills.
no justice, no peace. free scott peterson!
Are there really not equally entertaining cases in your own countries? I swear with as much attention the U.S. gets in these forums, while some of you may hate America, your countires must be BORING.
Scott Peterson is like so last year. Give me Michael Jackson, Robert Blake and Martha Stewart 
Any1 got a link to the recent interview with his blood sister & her saying she knows Scott is guilty.
I find it funny the ppl who come out of the wood work to defend these murders and creeps. They act like they know more than the 12 jurors who sat on the case, heard all the evidence and testimony. I have to go now, I'm attending a free Michael Jackson midnight vigil.
"I will not rest until the true killer is found."

| quote: |
| Amber Frey Peterson began an affair with the massage therapist Nov. 20, telling her he was a lovelorn bachelor eager to have a future with her and her daughter. |
| quote: |
| Unwanted baby When asked if he was excited about the birth of his first child, Peterson told his sister-in-law Rose Rocha that he was �kinda hoping for infertility.� When his wife�s cousin said he must be looking forward to games of catch with his son, Peterson was dismissive: �I have friends who can do that,� he said. He told Frey he didn�t want any children of his own and was considering a vasectomy. |
| quote: |
| Financial problems His brother-in-law, Brent Rocha, said Peterson seemed "down" and said he "wasn't doing good at his job." His employee, Eric Olson, said Peterson's fertilizer start-up was in trouble and orders weren't being filled on time. Peterson owed $23,000 to credit-card companies and his debt was rising. He relied on his parents for big-ticket purchases, including the $30,000 down payment for their home and $30,000 for a country club membership. He and Laci were pawning jewelry for quick cash shortly before her death. |
| quote: |
| Boat purchase Peterson began shopping for the 14-foot Gamefisher the weekend a friend threatened to tell his mistress he was married. He did not tell any friends or relatives about the boat. Fishing license Peterson told detectives that his Christmas Eve trip to San Francisco Bay was a last-minute decision, but four days before, he had purchased a two-day fishing license valid for Dec. 23 and 24. Anchors |
| quote: |
| Peterson manufactured at least one cement weight that is now unaccounted for. Concrete takes at least 24 hours to set. |
| quote: |
| "Lost" wife On Dec. 9, the same day he bought the boat, he told Frey he had "lost his wife" and would be spending his first holiday alone. Planning for new year |
| quote: |
| Peterson told Frey he was traveling for business, but would be able to spend more time with her by the end of January. Current calculations |
| quote: |
| Peterson researched currents, boat launches and fishing grounds in the bay two weeks before his wife disappeared. |

| Originally posted by St_Andrew so, here are their "proof": (btw, courttv is quite biased, no?) |
| quote: |
The motive: many ppl have affairs, it was also quite clear that he didnt want any serious relationship with her. I got a sister a few years back, and i made statements like that and worse before she was born, i did never kill her tho and i would never ever do it either. So by killing his wife and pregnant child he would solve these financial problems Evidence and testamony. many ppl go fishing there. A cement block that was never found. obviously he was lying a lot to her. i dont see any reason (if his intention was to kill her) why he should tell her about it, in such a sucpisious way. again, he told so much bullshit to her, so why wouldnt this be just another bullshit story? So, he actually researched some before fishing... oh my... also they didnt find anything whatsoever that he had been researching more how to get away with the crime and so, which would make more sense. anyway i gtg but if i get time to i will finnish it some other day... im not saying he is necesairly inocent, but i think that one of the most important things in a free state is that you should rather free than convict when there is not enough evidence. |

Jurors in the Scott Peterson trial insisted Monday that they felt no public pressure to convict the fertilizer salesman or sentence him to death. "Nobody in this room or outside influenced my voting on any of this. No, no, no. I went by the facts," Greg Beratlis, Juror No. 1, told a roomful of reporters about an hour after the verdict. Beratlis and two other jurors who spoke to the press said they based their decisions on hundreds of small "puzzle pieces" of circumstantial evidence that came out during the trial, from the location of Laci Peterson's body to the myriad lies her husband told after her disappearance. "There's thousands of little moments," jury foreman Steve Cardosi said. Another panelist, Juror No. 7, Richelle Nice, said, "When you look at everything and put it all together, it spoke for itself." |
update: Judge agrees with jurors decision and sentences Scott Peterson to death. I'm anti-death penality but in this case I'm going to have to look the other way.
