Convicted By Suspicion -- Why Scott Peterson May Be Innocent

Yes, I saw his "bye bye" post. That's why I didn't ping him. Anyway, his "answers" weren't any more enlightening or accurate than his article.

I would think JR would frown on it. I checked his "in forum" comments. Seems that his posting history pretty much consists of posting his fascinating articles. Which he's doing for free, by the way!

Yeah, I think he should get off so he and O.J. can search for the real murderers.

On golf courses.

[the Deejay]

They dont even know how Laci died, for crying out loud.

Many have been justly convicted without a body being recovered. (I've seen many of those trials.)

[barker]

.... who have taken away Scott Peterson’s life – ,,,,

Good grief. If Peterson gets the death sentence it won't be carried out next week. It will probably take about 20 years, if at all, during which time Laci and baby Conner will still be very dead. Plenty of time to find the "real" killer.

[the Deejay]

What evidence was there that she was murdered?

She's dead.

You think she walked the dog out to the bay (90 miles from home), drowned herself & the dog made his way back home, dragging his leash?

Would that be your theory perhaps?

[kjam22]

You're quoting logic. And I'm not saying I disagree with you. But you do agree, that the case is a little short on facts. And you do agree that there is at least one juror who thought Scott didn't do it who has been removed from the jury.

This was not our court system at it's finest. This was a lynching. Maybe deserved so, but maybe not.

[the Deejay]

This was a lynching.

Really? Scott's been lynched? hmmmm. News to me.

[kjam22]

a metaphorical lynching..... I'm sorry you didn't understand that.

[the Deejay]

If Peterson gets the death sentence it won't be carried out next week.

He will outlive his entire family. And die of old age, unless killed by another inmate.

Here's a tip for the future.

Laci's body was not found bound with duct tape. Considering that when her body was recovered it lacked head, arms, or lower legs, there was little that could have been restrained with duct tape.

I didn't think it was possible for you to look more foolish.

Do the research, Bud, READ the transcripts. Until then, it's clear you're spewing your own fictional version of this case.

Poopoo!

This is the only loose end I see in this case---a cement anchor........

I don't think Peterson is the sharpest knife in the drawer. What expectant father would leave his very pregnant wife to go fishing on Christmas Eve. I'm a dedicated hunter and fisherman, but there are limits.

[spiralsue]

Jury of his "pears"?

[Darksheare]

*grins*
You caught that?

I do so love ragging on Johnny Cochrane.

[Alaska Wolf]

The jury convicted him because they hated him, not because they didn't have a reasonable doubt.

This is nearly, literally, a high tech lynching.

I hope you never have to sit in front of a jury that hates you


I hate all murderers. And I would think that the average law-abiding citizen feels the same. Do you think OJ was innocent?

[spiralsue]

To properly rag on Johnny C
You got to rhyme, you see
Because Peterson was framed
And some jurors were shamed
The body was in pieces
So the prosecution ceases
His lies were legit
So the jury must acquit

Or something...

[Darksheare]

I know.
I just can't rhyme to save my life!

[spiralsue]

Me neither... I had to force it and it shows. Not very creative.

This thread is so hilarious! That people would actually defend this guy....

One thing I know... Criminals are stupid. That's why they get caught and even a couple million dollar attorneys can't convince 12 people he didn't do it. He *could* have gotten away with it had he been more careful. But I don't want the kids out there to get the idea that someone could ever get away with murder, except OJ, of course.

And those who twist logic by saying "killing Peterson will not bring Laci back" just don't get it and never will. It's a liberal thing.

I have a suspicion that even if the a**hole gets "life without parole," some reliable criminal may exercise the death penalty on his a** anyway. Remember Dahmer.

[sodpoodle]

you make absolutely no sense.

The jury has been sequestered - I have not heard any report that "they hated Scott Peterson" We can only presume they might.
The jury found Scott Peterson guilty beyond a reasonable doubt as it was required to do.
It must be either "nearly" or "literally" a lynching, it cannot be both.
I hope you are right about having to sit before a jury that "hates" - the voire dire is designed to eliminate that possibility.
So you hate all murderers - that is useful to know.
I don't pretend to know what the average law abiding citizen hates.
The jury found that O.J. was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
I believe O.J. was guilty as the civil case demonstrated.
