Laci and Conner Peterson

[Tonya]

Just thought I'd start a thread on here about them instead of taking up Michael Jackson's light.

Here are some links.

Tonya, I see that you are from Modesto CA. How are most people reacting to this case around there? I have been following it on CNN.com. It's all very sad. I don't honestly think he has a chance, though.

[Tonya]

Everyone thinks that he is guilty as heck. But we all also suspect he'll get off.

[mugsy]

Why do you think he'll get off?

I hope he rots in prison

This story has affected me worse than almost any other news story has. I've followed it from the beginning. I think Scott is very very very very very GUILTY.

I already posted on this on "Michael's" thread. But Aly, I'm with you!

The new People magazine has a long article about the "other woman" in this case, Amber somebody.

Poor lady, she was clueless, and thought he was single, apparently. Can you imagine then having this all come out?

And, I think he's a total creep, even if he isn't found guilty.

[Tonya]

Well, crap like this:

He made anchors for sure.

He bleached the floors and walls the day after the maid came for sure.

He washed his clothes only (not the other dirty clothes) before he called the police.

He studied tides and depths of the bay (where her body was found) on the computer.

He told one neighbor he went golfing and everyone else he went fishing.

His boat wasn't for fishing in the bay.

The weather wasn't for fishing in the bay.

The fish he said he was fishing for are to big to fish for out of that boat.

The reasoning for fishing instead of golfing was that the weather is to cold. The weather in Modesto is at least 20 degrees warmer then the bay!

He says he last saw her on the 24th, but her body was discovered in the clothing that she was wearing on the 23rd.

The neighbors saw him carrying out tarps with something large in them. He says that it was umbrellas, yet he can't provide where the umbrellas or tarps now are.

There was cement residue (from the anchors) in his boat.

There was Laci's hair on a pair of pliers in his boat.

I can go on and on. But sadly enough, all this evidence is just circumstantial. It isn't hard physical evidence. They have no eye witnesses, they don't even know how Laci was killed. They don't know if Conner was killed before or after Laci gave birth. They don't even know when they died.

Also, the head detective was apparently a real airhead. Stupid things happened like he forgot his keyes in Scott's truck after searching it. Left his clipboard with the notes from the search in Scott's boat by accident. So, they're saying the little evidence that they had was mishandled. Etc, etc...

I hope he rots in jail and becomes a guy named Bubba's girlfriend.

[Pam]

Well I certainly would not qualify as a juror. I personally think he is guilty as sin. I just hope that he doesn't get off like a certain other person who vowed he wanted to search for and hunt down his wife's real killer. Funny, but I haven't heard anything about his search to find the real killer so far.

I hope he rots in jail and becomes a guy named Bubba's girlfriend.

Careful what you wish for .... he might enjoy that.

I can't believe that that twit Gloria Allred
gets her nose stuck into every high profile case.

After seeing her run around here in LA for such a long time I am glad that the rest of the United States has had the privilege to see what a bigmouthed, rude and totally inconsiderate person she is.

And the prosecutors basing a BIG part of the case on the 'hairy pliers' is pretty funny..

Hair is the one thing that human beings shed regularly. there should be more than one hair in the boat. Also, the pundits in the case make it sound like the pliers NEVER left the boat...

I use pliers ALL OVER the house, on the car, in the garage, outdoors.....I can't believe that these TV 'personalities' are so dumb.

My personal feeling is that this case, should he be found guilty, will do SO MUCH to further laws set for unborn children.

Winning this case is doubly important for the prosecution. Not only will it bring justice to Lacy, but will be a landmark case for murder involving viable unborn children.

[RICHARD]

how's about some conspiracy theories on the case?

My mom and I regularly argue the merits of this one....

The one scenario that I figured out isn't popular-yes, he did kill her- but I tend to think that it was due to the fact that Ms Amber was the
one who 'caused' it.

Anyone?

[Tonya]

I don't think that Amber had a clue. I feel bad for her. I think that Scott is just demented. There's that other girl that disappeared when he was in college. How much do you bet that once they find him guilty on Laci, they go after him on her?
