Ed...I think that no matter how many times they try to appeal this verict, its not gonna happen. I dont care what anybody said about the prosecution...they did a hell of a lot better job than Mark Geragos did. Geragos put a doctor on the stand who literally fell apart...so much so that the jury was actually laughing at him. Also, he hired 2 very well known forensic specialists who he didnt even call because they had nothing valid to say. AND in his opening statements, he promised that he would prove someone else did this..like homeless people, a satanic cult, someone in a brown van, etc, etc, etc...and HE NEVER DID....because the only person that did this was his client, Scott Peterson.
Crazygirl..as for why he did this, only Scott Peterson really knows. But I think its because he wanted to be free in every way...emotionally, financially, etc. Too bad for him that is plan didnt go his way and that the bodies floated up not far from where the idiot placed himself fishing that day. He probably weighted Laci's body down and thought that she would never be found.
Im also a little perplexed as to why the jury found him guilty in the 1st degree for Laci and second degree for the baby. On larry King last night they said its because 1st degree means malice of forethought..meaning that he planned to kill laci and not necesarily the baby. But u guys are right..he knew she was pregnant!! So the jury should have gone 1st degree on both counts. They may have been a little divided and this is how they compromised. And because of that, Im not too sure they will seek the death penalty. But that penalty faze is going to be so hard for Laci's family as well as for Scott's.
On a final note, Im so glad the jury convicted him...not just because he IS guilty but also because this sends a message out to all the husbands and boyfriends out there who abuse their wives and girlfriends and think they can get away with it. After OJ and especially recently, there seems to be an increase in spousal homicide. I think this sends a loud and clear message.
