FEMALES 'FLOCK' TO LACI HUBBY

FEMALES 'FLOCK' TO LACI HUBBY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

June 16, 2003 -- Slay suspect Scott Peterson has won a legion of female admirers who deluge him with encouraging letters as he awaits trial for allegedly murdering his wife and unborn son, it was reported yesterday.

Peterson's California jail cell is literally littered with supportive letters from women - including one who's doing hard time for killing her husband, the Modesto Bee reports.

Criminal-justice expert Jeanette Sereno told the paper, "If you don't see him as responsible for the [slayings], he's a very sympathetic young man, someone who the whole world is against.

"People out there have a need to come to the rescue of someone beleaguered."

Prison officials have already acknowledged the possibility of a real physical threat against Peterson, who is accused of killing pregnant wife Laci just before Christmas and their unborn son, Connor.

Guards at the jail where he is being held near Modesto make sure his food tray is picked randomly from a stack in case of a poisoning attempt.

Officials also change the times of his rooftop exercise sessions to reduce the chances of a possible sniper attack.

When he is brought to and from the roof, inmates whose cells he must pass along the way also are temporarily removed so that they can't try to assault him.

Details of Peterson's jail stay came as another report said he had been caught on phone tapes, just after his pregnant wife vanished, repeatedly trying to talk a lover into handing over damning snapshots of them.

Peterson, unaware that girlfriend Amber Frey's cell phone was being tapped by cops, obsessively bombarded her with calls up to four times a day in early January - always opening their conversations with the same, gushy "I love you," sources familiar with the phone transcripts told Newsweek.

Peterson has denied killing his pregnant wife.

Scott Peterson's Pen Pals

Scott Peterson's Pen Pals

MODESTO, Calif., June 16, 2003

"People out there have a need to come to the rescue of someone beleaguered." criminologist Jeanette Sereno, on why people who don't think Peterson is guilty might want to write him.

(CBS/AP) Scott Peterson, charged with murdering his pregnant wife and their unborn child, is receiving stacks of letters in jail, many of them from women, a newspaper reported Sunday.

A fellow inmate told the Modesto Bee that Peterson's correspondents include a woman serving time for murdering her husband. A guard read the letter aloud, inmate Chris Young said.

Peterson has pleaded not guilty to double-murder charges that make him eligible for the death penalty if convicted.

Late last week, a judge issued a gag order barring lawyers, witnesses and police officers from publicly discussing details of the case. Judge Al Girolami said the gag order was the only way to stop leaks and rumors from derailing Scott Peterson's right to a fair trial.

Stanislaus County sheriff's Deputy Tom Letras confirmed that Peterson gets more mail than most inmates, but would not elaborate.

It's not uncommon for young men accused of terrible crimes to receive letters from female admirers, said Jeanette Sereno, a criminal justice professor at California State University, Stanislaus.

"If you don't see him as responsible for the (slayings), he's a very sympathetic young man, someone the whole world is against," Sereno said. "People out there have a need to come to the rescue of someone beleaguered."

I saw this response:

Dear Gretta:
Thank you for your letters, but, hon, 3 a day are a bit much, as I only get mailcall once a day.
I appreciate your support, but marriage is probably out of the question.

Later,

SP

And they breed. Can't we just neuter them?
