Scott Peterson
I've been keeping tabs on this story ever since it became popular. I knew Amber Frey was going to be a key witness after hearing she recorded telephone coversations between her and Peterson. Lately the news has been playing some of this recordings and from what I've heard, this guy is guilty.
So what do you guys think? Guilty or Not Guilty
The tapes clearly show that the guy is a lying bitch. He murdered his wife, prolly had help in it to like the cops are saying now.

I'm sure theres an essay out there on the effects of 19th-21st century media/press on justice and the outcomes of criminal trials compaired to those before television and radio media were so prevelant. Would be interresting reading. I think it would read something like "King said 'Guilty' without hearing any facts or solely based on personal opinion. Off came his/her head". _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.

It only works that way if you believe that shit. If I ever get on a jury I'm gonna deadlock the sonofabitch unless there is no reasonable doubt. _________________ I am your mom and I just took you to school in the car of pain.

Thinkin he did and knowing he did is 2 separate things tho. From my understanding of the case, there are no solid ties to Peterson. Almost all of the evidence is circumstantial. _________________ I am your mom and I just took you to school in the car of pain.

I think your right as well but many guilty verdicts have been handed down on "mostly" circumstantial evidence when piled and piled on. I too have heard some of the phone calls he has made and they do sound pretty damming. Especially the fact that not only was he lying about his whereabouts on each phonecall after her "dissaperance" but the fact that he immediatly tried to sell his and his wife's home (fully furnished) immediatly after the disaperance, all over the phone as well. Also, the fact that he was visibly adgitatted when told about the cops finding something in the bay and then looking "totally releived" and even made fun of the cops when told it was just a boat anchor. Why would be be nervious when told they found something if he didnt do it. Circumstantial, yes. Damming, yes.
That said all you have to do is look at the OJ case to see that the system is fucked up. _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.

Also, on that point, that fine line is drawn only by how and from where you receive your information and that determination is based solely on your own beliefs. So in my opinion there is hardly a distinction for the avg Joe Schmoe. I think what you mean to say, tho, is "Thinking he did and 'believing' he did are 2 seperate things".
Some people "believe" that the theory of evolution is fact. Some people "believe" the theory of creationism is fact. Its based solely on the source, science text books or the bible and what an individual thinks is more credible. I hardly believe that anyone can KNOW which is absolute truth since noone has been around long enough to observe first hand the history of the universe. The same is true with teh justice system as it is currently set up, no one on the jury can KNOW the absolute truths of the case. _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.

I think yer getting too far away from the discussion there.
The fact that a man can be happy about his wife's murder doesn't make him the murderer.
Also, if you or I were cheating on our pregnant wives and planned to leave them, how would we act? Would we sell our homes? Seeing as you or I would probably never do something like that, we can't assume that the way he was acting was suspicious given the circumstances. _________________ I am your mom and I just took you to school in the car of pain.

The jurors too have their own values and beliefs just like every free thinkin individual on the planet. How is it any diferent than with them? They will believe what is comming from the more credible source, and if neither side is "credible enough" to cause the 12 jurors to all believe the same thing, then its hung. IMO this guy has lost all credibility with his lying to family/friends/police and his other suspicious activity and the information I have heard from the prosecuting side is credible to me. After all this thread is about YOUR OPINION not the merrits of the case or the functionality of the justice system. If you opion defaults back to "innocent until proven guilty" then you are either too poorly informed on this case to base an opinion on the subject (which is fine and probably the right thing to do) or you dont wish to.
The only one caviot to my opinion is that I have heard all information about this case from the media who tend to spin things to better their sales. So, although informed, my opinion may be totally wrong. _________________ For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.

Just because one is a liar doesn't mean that they pulled the trigger. If there's no physical evidence then there's no physical evidence.
Opinions aside, I may think he killed her. But unless I hear some proof other than him coming across as being a worthless guy then there's litte to prove he actually killed her.
What I'm trying to say is, there is nothing to come forward to put his charges past a reasonable doubt. If they are not past that, then their should be no way to convict this man. _________________ I am your mom and I just took you to school in the car of pain.

G'damn movies these days. Too many of them educating crooks on how to get rid of Forensic Evidence that would tie them to a crime.
Another reason I find him guilty is because detectives seized his computer and found him researching ocean currents in the area that he dumped Laci's body.
