I personally don't see ANY doubts in the case. This has been a LONG trial, and I know they have tons of proof to give him the death penalty. I'm so happy to see him get the death penalty. Someone who is evil enough to kill his own wife and child deserves nothing but his own death in return.

I hope you are right Poppy - and I hope that the public is made aware of the "tons of proof" that enabled them to make that decision because all I have heard on the news is circumstantial and leaves so much doubt in my mind. I definitely agree with your last sentence - I just do not know what the proof was that this guy committed murder. I hope you are right. Like I said...it bothers me allot. I am so glad it was not my decision to make.

Well,, death is an easy way out for this guy,,, As much as I would love to see him pay with his life,, it would be letting him off,,,, Eternal rest,, forgiveness from a higher ppower,,, heaven??? nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... he needs to be kept alive,, made to think everyday ,, to live everyday for as long as possible with what he has done........

I heard a rumor today that he they have possibly linked him to at least one other murder. I looked on-line but I don't see any articles like this. Has anybody else heard this??

God didn't make Heaven for evil murderers. People who commit such evil crimes in their lives as he did have another place in the afterlife called Hell. He he he. I say let him die and head to the fire. He'll get his well deserved, eternal punishment there.

This is probably the saddest and most horrid case I have ever heard of. My heart aches for both families stuck in the middle.

One one hand....what good will killing him serve? It will not bring Laci back.

On the other hand....why waste the money to keep such scum alive?

I think the next thing I heard just about made meas mad as can be . Hes getting a private isolation cell,they think some of the other inmates may have strong options and hurt him. Jailhouse justice oh yah!!!Maybe an odd code but even crimanals have a knowledge of right and wrong (just doesn't always apply to them)

Only if forgiveness is asked! You're assuming Peterson is a religious man... which I find hard to believe if he disregarded his wedding vows and slept with another woman before murdering his wife and unborn baby.

And yes, there IS a Hell.

If you believe there's a Heaven, you believe there's a Hell. At least that's how it usually works for most people. AND...God forgives even the greatest of crimes, but a person does have to feel remorseful and ask for forgiveness to be forgiven. Its not like we can do anything we want...go around murdering people and stealing and doing the worst of worst things, thinking *What's the big deal? When I die, I'll be forgiven anyway!* That really makes no sense at all to me. I do believe there's a Hell, and I do believe this guy's destined to it if he doesn't somehow 'change' for the good before his last breath.
