Scott Peterson - Guilty!

Thank the Lord, and the wonderful jury.
the evidence and information I've seen on the case was 100% circumstantial.
I didn't see one shred of evidence that proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he was guilty.
Granted I didn't spend 23 weeks listening and viewing evidence and testimony like the jury so I'm sure they have their reasons.

What will be interesting is to hear why the lawyer/doctor foreman asked to be removed from the case on Wed.
Perhaps he knew the case was leaning toward murder 1 and he didn't want to have Scott's possible death sentence on his hands...

I dont think the Lord or jury need to be thanked...its a matter of due process.

We are allowed to feel differently... I posted this because, obviously, I am glad the verdict came in as it did. Jury plays an enormous role in all this, as they pick them very carefully. And yes, I believe God can judge somebody before they die - therefore, I am proud that he was found out. The fact that it was mainly circumstantial is all the more proof in my opinion. I bet he was sure of himself when he walked into court this morning.

What’s coming next could be taken harshly by a few, but this is a common sense case, and anyone who can rub two pennies together knows Scott is guilty as charged. Amen.

I felt he was guilty and relieved to find the jury decided he was. I thought for sure the prosecution screwed up the trial in the beginning
 
If Scott would of had the money OJ had I feel the verdict would have been different! No one really knows except Scott.

are you saying the (apparent) lack of evidence is (partial) proof that he is guilty? That he executed (pardon the pun) his plan so well as to not leave a trail?

I wish things were always as they appear, life would be so much simpler. Yet every single month there is another person released from life in prison or death row that was wrongfully convicted and freed by DNA evidence. For every person that is exonerated, I'd guess/extrapolate that there are 20 that never surface because there was no DNA evidence to analyze. (Granted the percentage of that get released is small.)

I had a friend who was incarcerated for a year on a rape charge based on circumstantial evidence, he was even picked out of multiple lineups by witnesses (if I recall correctly; this was about 6 years ago). He was freed on DNA evidence. To say it ruined his life would be a gross understatement.

i like that word

I don’t know why i felt it was necessary to point out the fact that i agree with you; but i do, completely.
 
I'm glad. I thought they screwed it up, just like Puma.

Of course, however circumstantial...how many people do you know that have multiple affairs, talk of murdering their pregnant wives, have their wife disappear, only to move several hundred miles away, unannounced, with bleached hair and beard, 15,000$ of cash on their person and rented a boat the same day in the same area as where the woman's body washed ashore? Sure some of that is circumstantial....but added together and well....you get a mountain from a mole hill, IMO. And not all of it was circumstantial, as far as I've heard/followed. They had audio tapes of scott talking to his little mistress there about his wife's disappearance and his desire to...."have her gone."
