The Scott Peterson case was won by through disenfranchisement

[Must_B_Free]

Evangelicals wanted this one for the Roe cause

[Dookus]

1. it really has nothing to do with Roe

despite the hysteria shown here today.

[ronnykmarshall]

4. Amen!

It was won because the bastard MURDERED his pregnant wife is cold blood.

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

2. Yes they did...

that's what I'm upset about. Not that it's not tragic, but you can kill a pregnant woman, but you cannot kill her unborn baby, it is part of her, not its own person, the conservatives have been all over this, if fear this verdict will have chilling backlash for women everywhere.

5. We are the pro-choice movement

And we will stand up for the fact that Laci Peterson should have had a choice...........

End of story.

9. Good point! I never thought of it that way!

[neohippie]

6. verdict was won through faith

juries don't need evidence any more. The moral mandate in the last election was a sign that jurors can simply have faith that the innocent wouldn't have ever been arrested, only the guilty would have run ins with the police don't cha know.

7. I think all the contradictory statements by Peterson lost it for him

The phone calls to Amber Fry were very telling about his lack of feelings for his wife while she was missing.

Peterson said the room for his new to be born baby was being left shut ready for the baby to come home with a tear in his eye. Then they find he was using the room for storage.

Him disguised with blond hair ready to disappear over the border in San Diego with $15,000. YAH RIGHT!

All the lies!!!!

Him happening to go fishing right where her body showed up. Come ON!

I could go on and on and on!

It was a circumstantial case but a very strong one because their was SO MUCH CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. The guy is guilty!

[neohippie]

10. in all seriousness, I think he was guilty

but, the evidence was fairly weak, all circumstancial. I don't know that I in good conscience could have voted him guilty, but that's just my opinion.

11. Your argument.........

.....would hold more water if it wasn't a blue state.......in fact it would hold if it was just about ANY state other than California....

8. The judge was a TheoCon?
