Peterson gets DEATH

[CowboyPrincess]

The Jury just came in with a sentence of death..

Very shocking considering it came in California...

If anyone deserved it, he did....

More as it comes in

Too bad the sentence will never be carried out.

True... thats another thing about it being in California. He will die at a very old age. In Texas, he'd be dead in two years

 

[Midswat]

That sucks that an innocent man is put to death like that.

Yeah, because we have the Death penalty and we USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There should be a sign as you enter Texas:

"If you kill someone in our state, we will kill you back"

If he were in Texas he'd already be strapped to the chair.

I think this case was a slap in the face.

Don't you have to prove someone to be guilty?

There was NO hard evidence.

And while I think this guy killed his wife, there is absolutely nothing that proves he did it. If there had been one peice of evidence - hard, physical evidence - I'd feel differently. But I am with the old juror #5. This jury was pressured into generating the popular verdict on behalf of public opinion.

I'm watching the juror interview right now...

Where do they pick jurors from, the Circus?

I mean one of the women on there has four children and is unemployed. Any man you put up there, she is going to convict. You can tell she hates men - all of them.

the jury was agreed apon by both the Prosecution and Defense and they use consultants on both sides. Even if they were pressured to say guilty as you said...why didn't they give him 1st degree for both his wife and baby instead of him getting 2nd degree for the baby..., public pressure was for him to be crucified for the babys death... and they had a chance to give him life and not death... something in the trial made them say death.

They didn't give him 1st degree for both his wife and his baby, because as the juror foreman stated they, "couldn't find any reason or evidence why he would have premeditated killing his wife." That alone should tell you that they didn't know what his motive was for killing his wife.

If you don't have physical evidence, shouldn't you have motive?

I see some motive in this case (the obvious motive of him wanting to be free etc.).

But the juror stated in his own words that he had no clue of what motivated Scott Peterson to kill his wife and thus is why "they" split the verdict to a 1st degree verdict and a second degree verdict.

Admitting that "they" couldn't find a reason as to why he would have done this, should make good grounds for whatever appellate lawyer is appealing his case.

I'm with Banned... althought I think he is guilty... they really had nothing more than circumstantial evidence... this is a case of emotion and coincidence played out by the prosecutor...

This is not how our justice system is supposed to work... OJ walks... this guy dies (they both deserve it... btw)...

Just because the glove fits and has blood all over it, he must be innocent, right? Please, hes as guilty as sin.

Nice reasoning in articulating your point.
