my mental meanderings...

Scott Peterson

Well, was there any doubt in your mind that he wasn't going to get the death penalty? I mean, the bodies washed up not far from where he said he went fishing. Does that not sound fishy (pardon the pun) to any one? All the lies and the deceit. If he wasn't guilty then how come he died his hair, had his brother's Id, a huge load of cash with him, and was heading south for the Mexican border? What made him think that he could get away with this? Why did he even consider murder an option?

One of the jurors said that Scott was Laci's husband and Connor's father. He was supposed to protect them. Instead he killed them. Getting the death penalty won't bring Laci or Connor back. It will just bring more heartache for Scott and his family. It may take 20 or more years before Scott is actually executed, and who knows by that time the death penalty may be abolished.

At least he got what he deserved. Laci and Connor, may you rest in peace.
