Scott Peterson case

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

This was on tv a lot the last few days. I've been annoyed with the coverage so far as it's been totally biased and everyone's basically already got the noose around his neck.

 

While I think he did it, I have to admit the evidence thus far is extremely weak. I'm not impressed with the fact that they're making wild conclusions about nothing. Like the whole carpet thing. Some woman was on there saying it was bunched up b/c he drug the body through there. I mean WTF? There's a million other reasons why a carpet that could be bunched up. And they spent a good half hour talking about a mop bucket which sounded completely irrelevent.

I think he did it. The "Out Fishing" excuse seems a little TOO coincidental. Not to mention growing facial hair and dyeing his hair. He's either really guilty, really dumb, or both. Peterson reminds me a lot of Ted Bundy.

This case is getting the exposure it is only because the victim looks cute. That's it.

That's not excuse. You must not go OUTSIDE period, or you must never talk to anyone.

I don't care.

 

Haven't followed it and never will. Some chick picked Mr. Wrong -- didn't we go through this already years ago with O.J.?...

OJ was entertaining. I remember my middle school teacher had the radio on in my class for the verdict.

Yeah my class watched it on tv.

I didn't follow OJ at all.

 

The highlight of the case came when I was in college and I had a cheap walkman, along some crappy portable speakers, with me. My friends and I gathered in our school's lounge room screaming "GUILTY! GUILTY!" when the verdict came out.

 

When he was innocent we all went into rage and I wailed my walkman to the floor, shattering it.

 

And good times were had by all...

Funny thing is one of my friends said that we should riot.

 

To which I replied, "Why? We own everything here. Let's go to the North Side..."

You rioting combined with your "Hippie Chick" would firmly plant you on the Peace, Love and Happiness side of the Hippie line my friend.

 

And then I'd have to beat you on sheer principal.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Hippie please.

 

She was an alternative-like chick, not a hippie chick.

 

I was AGAINST rioting -- at least in my neighborhood anyway.

 

Then again if we did destroy Pittsburgh's North Side, it would probably be an improvement...

[Guest SP-1]

Oh, how I love thee rant.

 

. . . in a completely hetro way.

This case is getting far too much attention. An upper-middle class attractive lady. Shit like this happens EVERY DAY, but these "special" cases are handpicked to get national media coverage. From what I have seen so far, I would guess that he did in fact do it or orchestrate it, but I am so sickened of the coverage already.

Much like OJ, Peterson will be found not guilty, and then lose a civil suit with her family.

MODESTO, Calif. (AP) - Scott Peterson told his mistress he was a widower the same day he bought the boat that provided his alibi when his pregnant wife vanished two weeks later, a police officer said Thursday.

 

Detective Allen Brocchini testified that Scott Peterson bought the fishing boat Dec. 9. Peterson's mistress, Amber Frey, said she had asked Peterson that day whether he was married, Brocchini said.

 

While Brocchini did not link the two events, he provided the pieces of a puzzle prosecutors are assembling to show Peterson was plotting the demise of his wife Laci weeks before he returned from a Christmas Eve fishing trip and reported her gone.

 

Brocchini testified on the sixth day of a hearing to determine if Peterson will stand trial on murder charges in the deaths of his wife and unborn son. Peterson, 31, could get the death penalty.

 

The officer also testified Thursday that officers found a loaded .22-caliber gun in Peterson's pickup truck, providing the first hint that Peterson owned a weapon.

 

 

Police have not disclosed how Peterson's wife and unborn son were killed, and the autopsy results are sealed.

 

 

Detectives said they took the gun from Peterson's pickup on Christmas Eve before taking him to police headquarters for an hour-long videotaped interview. They said Peterson called police on his cell phone an hour after he was returned home, asking if they had taken the gun. Brocchini said police confirmed that they had.

 

 

Before Brocchini's testimony, defense attorney Mark Geragos told Judge Al Girolami that he recently discovered the FBI conducted closed-circuit TV surveillance of Peterson's home after his wife disappeared. Geragos said he will subpoena the FBI for copies of the tape.

 

 

Brocchini said he arrived at the Peterson house about four hours after Laci Peterson's stepfather reported her missing to police. The detective described Scott Peterson as cooperative, saying the fertilizer salesman never told him to leave or get out of the house.

 

 

Much of the hearing has focused on a single hair wrapped in a pair of pliers found in Peterson's boat, which was stored in a warehouse. Prosecutors maintain the strand came from Laci Peterson.

 

 

Peterson was arrested in April, not far from the Mexican border. He was carrying $10,000 and his brother's driver's license, and had dyed his hair blond.

 

 

His arrest came days after the bodies of his wife and unborn son surfaced in San Francisco Bay about three miles from where he said he was fishing on the day before Christmas.
