Scott Peterson got the death sentance today. Good

But personally I think he should Die the same his wife did

Im glad but also upset

anyone esle?

[LuluVox]

I don't think killing him will make his wife or child any more alive. I don't see the point. Not a fan of the death penalty.

[Fierce Critter]

Just as with any other case like this, if you're not there in the courtroom hearing all the evidence, there's really no place to form a judgment.

You can, however, form an opinion based on personal feelings and what little the general public got from the media. So for myself, what I've felt is that he had SOMETHING to do with what happened to her, though I was more inclined to think he had someone either help him, or do it FOR him.

Knowing only what little I know, I'm somewhat of the opinion that he was hung based on pretty circumstantial evidence. No, I have no feelings nor like of the guy. But I also don't see where a public witch hunt or lynching was merited, as seems to have happened here.

But as I said, I wasn't in that courtroom. Perhaps the jury was shown something that made it pretty obvious he did it and deserved to die.

You just never know in cases like this. It's really only for the jury to say. The jury saw that that bloody glove didn't fit O.J., so like it or not, you have to trust them.

However, I still think someone should have seen if that glove fit his older son, Jason...

While I'm not a true fan of the death penalty, I sort of root for it when someone kills a child. I don't care if it's their child or someone elses. Even if he didn't get the death penalty, once he goes to spend his time in prison, he's probably going to get what he deserves while he waits. Most hardened criminals will hurt/kill a child murderer. God help him, because he's going to really need it.

I don't beleive in capitol punishement to put it simply...

[The_Dark]

He killed his wife and unborn child so he could be single without paying child support or alimony. Thats pretty damn low. Though the idea of actually killing someone sickens me, I can't think of anyone more deserving than that sub-human bastard.

[Shade Everdark]

I can't say I really wish the death penalty on anyone (though I may retract that statement when I'm on the highway). I wish he could be made to feel the pain that his wife went through, however.

What really disturbed me was seeing Laci's stepfather, who was holding up a newspaper showing the jury's recommendation of the death sentence and smiling. It makes me wonder exactly how advanced and cultured we really are.

I'm reminded of some words of Tolkien: "Deserves death? I daresay he does! Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

[Jarodaka]

I still have no idea why this trial has garnered so much national attention. Is it because she was pregnant and they're white?

[Nerdcore]

it started off as a missing persons case that went into a murder

peterson originally claimed she was kidnaped, before they found out she was murdered.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes. And because he wrote books about motivated wildlife.

(edited because I left out a word)

[Soulrev]

I'm totally against the death penalty in this case because I think he's getting off easy.. I'd rather pay to see him grow old, get his ass beaten and become someone's bitch in prison for the rest of his life..

[Brenda Starrr]

Yeah....what Soulrev said. I like that idea so much better!

[Shade Everdark]

I'd just like him to feel the pain that he put his wife through.

Feeling a little repentence would go a long way, too.

[BillyDeath]

I rooted for the Death Penalty when that one lady drove her kids of the bridge and let them drown.

:devil IMO "Let the punishment fit the crime"

:devil I say He should be Quatered,he's nothing but earth trash.

[phee]

Did he quarter her?

[Steven]

I'd end his life.

He's trash, and he stole the life of a defenseless child who sufferred in the womb.

I would not torture him, but I would put a bullet in his head.

[Homicidalheathen]

Personally I don't believe in the death penalty, but......you know, I do think part of that is....I am thinking.....he won't last long in the pen anyway, sorta like Jeffery Dahlmer. I just figure I am leaving it up to one of the other 'bad' guys who maybe isn't quite as bad.
