It is an urban myth, Jeffrey and the priest were 2 out of how many thousands?``

I was not aware that "1000s" of celebrity status folks get incarcerated.

Nahnah nah nah, nahnah nah nah.. hey hey hey, goooodbye. Come on, folks, sing it with me.

Ok, so maybe the reality is that this merely starts an endless slew of appeals where he gets to drag Lacy's family through this horrible mess over and over and over again. Even when the system works, it still stinks. Ugh.

High profile cases dont go into the general population anymore.

And let's not have the prisoners do our dirty work. the people convicted and the people should kill him.

The three jurors who spoke with the media after the verdict made me so proud of them.

First, let me say that I believe Peterson's guilty as could be of these TWO murders and, while I could never delight in anyone being put to death, I think he deserves it.

But, Geragos did the worst job in memory as a defense lawyer. If he hadn't started the whole show off with all these silly "alternative theories" of the crime and phantom murderers and promises that he'd produce the "real killers", etc., etc., they would have had a shot at "reasonable doubt" at trial. If Peterson is ever actually executed, there should be some way to force Geragos to be the one to pull the switch. I figure that since his antics started the process toward the death chamber, he ought to have to follow through and finish the job.

I wouldn't want this guy as my lawyer for ANYTHING, much less a capital murder case.

Please don't send us any more of these California nuts to Gods country, the great state of Texas. But we are much more efficient.

Some people don't have the stomach for it,but I'd like to be the one flipping the switch.Geragos is a lousy lawyer.I'm glad he lost.Some people thought the evidence was slim,but he[Peterson ] sure did have a quilty smirk.I don't see how anyone else could have done the murders[Lacy and child]but him.

Laci was of Hispanic descent. Do you know how many Hispanics are in the California prison system? Thousands. And, how absolutely repugnant Scott Peterson's crime is in that community? Very. How many convicted murderers are at San Quentin for killing their pregnant wives? None.

According to the SQ website there are 5,967 prisoners there, and you pretend to know the crimes of every single one of them? Specify your source!

My source is the public affairs rep for San Quentin who has been on the tube saying that they don't have anyone in Q who has been convicted of a similar crime, and that Scott was at risk.

its just too bad that they can't make the death penalty fit the crime. Tie a few anchors to his ass then throw him in the Bay while he's still breathing. Let him see how much fun sucking water is.

Dead man walking!

Maybe the ghosts of Laci and baby Conner will haunt him as he gazes out the window of his Death Row cell.

I always thought the Brits did it great in the old movies: the judges would place a black scarf over their wigs as they intoned the sentence of death. "And may God have mercy on your soul."

He's on his way to San Quentin.

Nope, he's on the Highway to Hell.

Hopefully, the same fate awaits my cousin's murderer. His attorney is still dragging out the pre-trail motions.
