Scott Peterson
 

I belive I could win a miss trial from this dumb ass Judge.

Scott gets arested and charged with Pre-meditated Murder.
Goes to trial.
Judge lets prosicuter put in evidence about Scotts boat and has a therey about what Scott did and will not let Scotts Lawyer do the same.
Judge gives the jury a nother charge that they can consider, but only after the trial is over, Just as they are going off to deliberate the judge says they can also concider a Murder verdic without Pre-meditation. Now all through the trial the case has been built on the premiss that Scott plained the murder and Pre-meditated Murder gets the death penalty. Now, after the trial is over he says just in case you don't decide that its pre-meditated you can also convict with a murder vertic.
Judge lets jurer stand in boat and rock it back and forth. Then the judge says it wasn't experimenting with evidence (against the law) it was investigating evidence?
Judge kicks a jurer off and doesn't put a gag order on him.
Judge kicks another jurer off because she did some investigating on her own?
Judge lets another jurer go because he wanted to leave?
And finally, one more jurer is going to leave because of a planed surgery.

How did this guy get to be a judge, wether Scott did it or not makes no difference to how a trial should be held.

also Ron,

The movie has already been released, and that didnt help matters either.

On Court TV, some of the Lawyers say the Jury is really screwing up the Prosecutors case and if foung guilty, there are numerous finds for appeals.

Our Judicial System really sucks.

When I found out he was fishing
 

When I found out he was fishing alone Christmas Eve near the place where the bodies were found. That was all I needed, guilty. Who else goes fishing on Christmas Eve, alone. Everyone is out shopping and getting ready for the big day. He's as guilty as sin.

Peterson is probably guilty as a matter of absolutes, but probably not guilty as a matter of law. Though not written in stone, the longer the jury deliberates the better the chance that Peterson will jump slick. Extended deliberations, juror replacements, etc., ensure that the media curiosity market have juicy topic material for a long time to come and the better chance that Peterson will become some sort of ?victim?. And then perhaps some kind of weird hero figure by tapping into the media ?pity? market. Hmmm, I wonder if Peterson has signed away all future royalty considerations to his Defense Attorney. :cd:

ANOTHER O.J.

Gonna get away and that is it........

Well Reeb....
 

The evidence against Simpson was lots and lots stronger than what?s going against Peterson. My guess is that Peterson gets off, but there may be a string of messy appeals before that happens. Just a guess.

GUILTY ! First degree for his wife , Second degree murder for his son.

Hmmm.......
 

Oh me of dwindling faith, eh. Good verdict, and well fitting the crimes.

Listened to the verdict live
 

on the radio while driving home. Looks like the 2 alternate jurors that were placed this week was already on the same page. The 2 jurors that they replaced were evidently the one's out of sync with the rest of the jurors. Glad to see that they stepped up to the plate and did the right thing. The sentencing phase start 22NOV. Should take less than a week. Hope to hear that he's going to be sitting on Death Row in San Quentin. Unfortunately, like with all these POS's, it'll take years before he quits wasting oxygen. A LOT more time than there victims were given.

At least the scum will be off the streets
 

He'll be off the streets for sometime. Even with appeals, etc. He is a flight risk and will remain in prison. I'm glad the jury did the right thing. I have no doubt he did it. Doubt if he'll be given the death penalty being it was a domestic murder.
