Interesting development in the Scott Peterson case. His sentence was changed from Death to life in prison but the interesting part is that he may be getting a new trail. No matter what you believe about the death penalty, this has been a heated debate since Laci first went missing. I followed this case obsessively on Court TV from morning til night and watched the entire trial. My opinion is that he is GUILTY.
He is a douchebag, for sure, but many people believe he was railroaded by the Modesto Police Department and that they flat-out refused to consider any other possibilities.
"According to New York Post, the judge sentenced Peterson to life in prison with no parole, taking the death penalty off the table. He received an additional 15 years for Connor’s death. Last year, the court overturned his death sentence after a jury misconduct allegation. He has yet to receive a new trial date."
This case and my life have an interesting connection. When Michael was killed, I didn't know what to do, I mean, it's not like there is a handbook or anything. I remembered the number of the Carole Sund Carrington Foundation that constantly flashed across the screen during Scott's trial and called them to ask for guidance. I was fortunate enough to talk to an amazing woman named Shelly Streeter whose family was murdered by Cary Stayner and she not only told me what to do, but also requested from the board a $5000 reward to be set up for Michael to incise anyone with information in his case to come forward.
Keep in mind that they get thousands of requests from all over the United States and it was a long-shot but the board voted to give us the money and one of the board members was Sharon Rocha, who is Laci Peterson's mother. That was really serial to me because I, like so many other people, was so obsessed with her daughter's murder.
Sharon believes with her whole heart that Scott killed her daughter and that is good enough for me.
Stay tuned to this, because I believe, unfortunately that this POS will get a new trial and Laci's family will have to relive all of this again. My heart breaks for them. I cannot imagine....
