I'm absolutely disgusted that he got the death penalty... I hope that the judge is a mean SOB who realizes that the death penalty is too good for this POS, and reverses the jury's decision (he can reverse death penalty to life, but cannot reverse life to death penalty).

Scott Peterson does NOT deserve the death penalty, and here's why: The article at kansascity.com was free earlier today... it's still free but now you have to sign up for access to it...Kansas City Article

Some snippets from the article:

California has only executed 10 guys since the death penalty was reinstated in 1978. Those guys sat on death row an average of 16 years. Nine death row inmates have lived there for more than 25 years.

In his cell, he can keep a tv, books, a music player, a wall poster, pictures of family. Closed circuit tv shows movies occassionally. He can take in cell study courses, and request law journals as well as other books. Family members will/can visit him during scheduled hours, or he can call them on a phone that rolls by on a cart every day. Inmates can shower every day, on their own by themselves, in a secured shower, escorted there in handcuffs by guards. There is no lights out time, he can stay up as late as he wants. He cannot hold a job.

My comments:
If he had received life without possibility of parole, he would have been separated from general population only until his formal sentencing in February. Once he hit general population, since he's such a good looking guy, someone would definately offer to protect him from the others who want to kill the baby/wife killer. You be my beeotch, and I'll keep you safe. But he can't stay safe forever, because there are no guarantees that his 'sugar momma' will be assigned to the same job that he is...

So what do you think he deserves? A nice safe life with TV and books, protected from the general population while awaiting his appeals, and maybe his execution in 25 years? Or to be someone's beeotch for life, and maybe survive 25 years?

...it seems like a lot of people make assumptions about prison life...I'm not saying its wrong or right...but I dont buy into it, I think jail violence is exaggerated for television (I have 2 friends that are corrections officers and know people that have had extended stays in prisons)

the former, given the second option you listed.
the latter is cruel and unusual punishment.
wishing that type of punishment on anyone is revolting to me...

Geoff.... jail violence on tv shows is most definately exaggerated. However one thing I know FOR SURE is that in real life, the vast majority of inmates don't like baby killers (or child molesters) and if they're lifers themselves, they will have no qualms about taking care of them - be it killing them, torturing them daily etc... my mother, her boyfriend, and my brother all work in the prison system (my mother and her boyfriend for almost 15 years, they've seen it all). It most certainly does happen. Making a cute, vulnerable man your beotch also happens VERY frequently. Is it revolting, sure it is, but it happens... when you're in prison for life without a possibility of ever getting out, what seems revolting to you while you're on the outside can very easily turn appealing when you know you're stuck with that or no other options.

I'd much rather see him get life in prison. As I said, sitting in a cell by himself for the most part, waiting for his execution, learning, reading, watching tv, etc etc... is just too good for him, even if the (eventual) end result is his life being over.

I totally agree and never thought they'd come back with a Death recommendation....

Geoff, you don't make sense! If you think "that" (being someone's beeotch) is so revolting... and worse than death... then it follows suit that Peterson deserves it. At least that's my logic. :D Would I wish "that" on my worst enemy? Nope, probably not. But I was wishing it on that worthless piece of feces (or at least was wishing it on him up until yesterday, now I'm holding out a glimmer of hope that the judge will reverse the jury's ruling)

ps ~ I am a supporter of the death penalty under different circumstances...

There is no use for him on our planet, remove him.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), we cannot use that method for "removal". For if we did, our country would be known as one huge delusion of grandeur

I (too) am pretty upset that he got the death sentence… far too easy.

Another thought - this is just my personal view, but anybody who thinks it is revolting to wish for Scott to be "taken care of" within prison walls, yet finds it perfectly ok to wish death on someone (however horrible they might be), is a hypocrite IMO.

<whistles as he quickly runs> :D

:laugh:

I think being taken care of and the death penalty are both horrible things to 'look forward to'... in Peterson's case, death is just way too easy.
