And I wasn't trying to be mean, just state my opinion. I'm glad you are interested in it, I wish I hadn't seen so much of it earlier, I let myself get turned off on the case. Take my post as me hearing your case, leaning in the group and giving my opinion, and saying good day gentlemen, for I have nothing useful to add!shenbaw wrote: If you don't want to talk about it or don't care about it, that's fine. Go back to talking about guns in Canada. No skin off my back. I just thought I'd offer it out there since obvious criminals walking our streets is a point of interest to me, but I fully understand that it might not be that interesting or bothersome to others. Sorry for starting a thread.
Believe it or not, some people actually care about the fact that a man having an affair with another woman, killed his wife and unborn child, drove their lifeless bodies hours away, tied them to homemade cement anchors, put them in his boat, drove them into the middle of a bay, dumped their bodies, then used a motive that puts him within miles of where the decomposed bodies washed ashore, and is not going to receive one minute of jail-time. Yes, surprise, surprise, some people actually get concerned when they find out that cold-blooded, remorseless killers just get ushered back out onto our streets. It has become very apparent that the members at AF are not some of these people. Which is why we should just let this one fizzle away.

I don't know about you, but if I am of the opinion that a certain topic is 'stupid' or doesn't deserve to be discussed, I simply keep my nose out of the conversation, I certainly don't jump into the conversation for the mere purpose of letting everyone know that I think this subject is really dumb and personally I could care less. So if no one cares about the Scott Peterson case, why don't we just stop talking about it? Perhaps this is the only reason this case has gotten the national attention it has received, everyone is so busy trying to figure out why everyone is talking about the case, that no one can stop talking about the case.This murder really doesn't deserve the attention it's getting, what's so special about it?
is the very thing this trial is *supposed* to prove or disprove that this Petersen committed the crime. Is this another case like the OJ thing where the 'real killers' story was ridiculously thin at best and a bad joke at worst, or is there any actual weight to whatever claims the defense is making?that a man having an affair with another woman, killed his wife and unborn child, drove their lifeless bodies hours away, tied them to homemade cement anchors, put them in his boat, drove them into the middle of a bay, dumped their bodies, then used a motive that puts him within miles of where the decomposed bodies washed ashore,

Honestly, look at the overwhelming amount of circustantial evidence (that's why the case was blown up in the first place) and look at the current complete lack of conclusive evidence (that's why the media is still constantly buzzing about it, cause he's gonna get off), people, especially Americans are drawn to injustices. O.J., Rodney King, the Bush Presidencyand I still stand by the 'why the hell are the media sharks pouncing on this?' question. The last thing this case needed was a media circus with a TV movie screaming that the husband is guilty even before the trial started.
, and most recently Abu Ghirab prison) We want justice for our own piece of mind, but we need injustice so we can have something to complain about (and it's more entertaining when someone could possibly get away with it). Do you think anyone would have cared about this case in the least if Scott Peterson had left a bloody murder weapon in his truck, or if they had found the bodies buried in the Peterson's back yard? No. It would have hit the headlines once, and then we would have never heard another thing about it. However, all indicators, all fingers, and all suspicions point directly to Scott Peterson, but there is very little evidence to back these suspicions up. Lacy Peterson and her unborn fetus end up hours away from their home floating in San Fransisco Bay, coincidentally where Scott Peterson claimed to be on the day of their disappearance. This man either committed the perfect crime and is going to get away with murdering his own wife and child, or else committed a near perfect crime or no crime at all and is going to be convicted on one of the most circumstantial cases we've seen in many years. Either way the public and the media can't seem to get enough of it.
Glad you brought this up, i wanted to follow it. But you are all convicting him already? I'm sorry I am not convinced he really did it yet. Just because he had an affair does not make him a murder. I will continue to follow the case and if you find stuff I would appreciate you posting it up.Unfortunately we don't have the power to do that.Minnie wrote: But you are all convicting him already?
I think that's exactly what the verdict will read.I'm sorry I am not convinced he really did it yet.
No but it does give him a motive.Just because he had an affair does not make him a murder.
Did you catch this little gem? If not you should really glance through it. It's a conversation between Mr. Peterson and his 'mistress.' Very interesting read,I will continue to follow the case and if you find stuff I would appreciate you posting it up.

It just seems like a bit of a misnomer to label a person who so far has out smarted all prosecutors, police officers, and, as I said, our justice system as a whole, an "idiot." It'd be interesting to see how easy a genius makes double homocide look.megaspaz wrote:i think i kinda said that.... but so true....shenbaw wrote:Unfortunately this "idiot" seems to be smarter than our entire justice system at this point.megaspaz wrote: scott peterson is an idiot. unfortunately, the prosecution looks to be even more stupid than the defendant.
