This man killed his pregnant wife, chopped off her head and dumped her and the unborn baby into the bay on Christmas day so he could be with his girlfriend! Only in California would they overturn his death pearly.
This should disgust everyone!
I believe 100% he did it, I believe he is evil and the scum of the earth. Unfortunately, by the time Laci was found, her body had been in the water so long that the cause of death could not be determined, although her head had separated from her body, my remembrance is it was most likely due to being in the elements for so long.
If Scott Peterson has an ounce of humanity left in him, or found some in prison, I believe he is miserable every living day, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. Death or alive he is getting punished and will never see freedom, I’m okay with that.
Reminds me of the Colorado case of Chris Watts, who killed his pregnant wife and 2 little girls, from what I have read he is suffering every day with what he did, or so he says. Good let him suffer for the next 40-50 years, seems appropriate. Since I’m not religious in a traditional sense, don’t really believe in heaven or hell, so when these guys are put to death, they have peace, living might me more of a punishment for them.

Good, put him in general pop. See how long he lasts.
Not like he was ever gonna get executed anyway in CA.
They would release him to protective custody. Maybe set him up real nice with a new identity. Prisons are for spreading virus non compliant business owners and non mask wearers. Scott Peterson is a state treasure. He will live a long a wonderful life.

It’s alright, save money by not having another trial.
Put him in general population, some inmate will eventually gain bragging rights by killing him. NO LOSS.

The inmates will finish what the justice system in california couldn’t. Peterson truly is a moron for wanting to get out of the protection he has on death row. He will be quite the trophy for an inmate wanting to make a name for themselves.

Poor Laci and little Connor…Even death penalty was too good for dispicable Scott,
Recall Gruesome Newsom!
idiots everywhere

I’m pro death penalty, but this is the type of case where I don’t believe the death penalty should have been applied. The prosecutors used the overwhelming circumstantial evidence to get a conviction, but there was limited forensic and no eyewitnesses so it is impossible to know for sure. As bad as wrongful conviction is, the wrongful death by the state is worse.

About time. I never thought they had enough evidence to prove him guilty. Bad guy for sure but did he kill them both idk.
I agree with you.. I NEVER thought he was guilty, they kept announcing all of the media how he went fishing at the Berkeley Pier. So therefore the person who actually killed her knew where to dumped the body!
Also there was Soooo many witnesses that seen him & inside his boat before leaving the pier before leaving the dock…
Peterson’s cellphone was tracked to the bay…….he was watching the search crews.
Next, WHO is newly married and allowed to go Fishing on Christmas eve? Come on now! Give me a break.
First of all you were not in 5he court room for the trial so you don’t know all the evidence against him. Nobody could unless they attended the trial every day. But……..do you remember that Modesto PD found a large quantity of Lacy’s blood under the carpet by the fireplace? The carpet had been cleaned but the blood underneath was still there. He is absolutely guilty and a jury of his peers agreed!
This trial was so bogus . I’m glad finally something is happening

I think he is guilty too. I also believe the judge made a lot of stupid rulings. Like letting jurors play in the boat, on land. Excusing every potential juror who opposed the death penalty. The next question SHOULD of been can you still follow the law and put your personal feelings aside. A juror lied about not having and domestic abuse in the past. When a juror was asked how Scott did it he got a blank face and said I don’t know. You sentenced someone to death on public outrage. Don’t attack me but these are some of the reasons your going to see rulings in his favor. Like today.

He deserved to be killed (and I don’t mean euthanized). He probably wouldn’t have been put down anyway, though. There have even been people campaigning for him to get a new trial. People who actually think he’s innocent and was railroaded. I think they’re mostly younger and weren’t around to see and hear what we saw and heard. Are the guys in general population really out to get these kinds of people, or is that just a big myth? I hope he has a very miserable rest of his life, and I don’t think he’s been getting that. It’s what he truly deserves,

This is an academic exercise as our Governor has eliminated the death penalty anyway without so much as a vote.
Oh no! There were indeed voted. Votes in favor of maintaining the dealth penalty. Newsom just decided his opinion and agenda outweigh the will of the voting public.

He’s a POS. I think people claiming they did not think he did it, must have forgot all of the details/evidence/investigation when this happened. Not from watching a documentary on Netflix or the ID channel.
I too remember when he dyed his hair, he had like $10,000 cash on him near the CA/Mexico border.
PS- Dean Cain shouldn’t have played him in the lifetime movie.

Hello, I’m from Modesto Ca. It’s Christmas Eve and my wife said it was ok for me to drive 100 miles to the SF bay to go fishing for sturgeon in a 14 ft aluminum boat that could handle the rough bay waters. Said no fisherman ever. STURGEON IN THE BAY. 14′ ALUMINUM BOAT. CHRISTAMS EVE. FROM MODESTO TO BERKELY.
scotty swore he would not give up until he found Laci’s killer… instead he worked tirelessly on his own appeal and answering love letters from mentally ill women. as he stared out into the bay where he dumped the woman who got in the way of his affair with massage therapist Amber Frey.
The case was national news, it was on Larry King and Nancy Grace constantly, other shows as well. It would have been hard to move the case to any area where no one had heard about it.
There was a young reporter from Channel 2, Oakland (I think his name was Tim Rowlands, or close) who got offered a job by CNN, because of his reporting.

Life w/o parole is, was and never will be equal to the justice the DP provides for truly vicious murderers. Thinking it is an adequate alternative to fixing the endless appeals process or believing murderers would rather be dead than alive is also, ludicrous. Lastly, believing than anyone who receives the DP “could be” innocent really is immature or ignorant. The truth is, some people deserve the DP and their is no excuse.

Since Puzzy Boy Newsom put a moratorium on the death penalty against the voice of the voters, I think prosecutors will not retry the penalty phase & Scott Peterson’s sentence will automatically become Life Without Parole (LWOP).
This man killed his pregnant wife, chopped off her head and dumped her and the unborn baby into the bay on Christmas day so he could be with his girlfriend! Only in California would they overturn his death pearly.

Exactly. He was going to die an old man with a death sentence on his back.
They would release him to protective custody. Maybe set him up real nice with a new identity. Prisons are for spreading virus non compliant business owners and non mask wearers. Scott Peterson is a state treasure. He will live a long a wonderful life.

Did u even follow the case?
Peterson’s cellphone was tracked to the bay…….he was watching the search crews.
Next, WHO is newly married and allowed to go Fishing on Christmas eve? Come on now! Give me a break.
The California Supreme Court agreed that he was absolutely guilty, but they say that his punishment trial was unfair.
That is actually a very clever move by the court.
They should move all the child molesters and killers to general population. Wayyyyy more efficient that Death Row

@know it all. They only found 4 drops of blood in the house. And it was on the bed comforter. Where did you hear about this fireplace carpet?
@Bob you are right sir. I must have been thinking about another case. My bad. I will admit when I’m wrong. Thanks for fact checking me.
P.S. But I still believe this jerk is guilty!
This trial was so bogus . I’m glad finally something is happening

He sure didn’t seem to miss her on New year’s Eve when he was talking to Amber.
scotty swore he would not give up until he found Laci’s killer… instead he worked tirelessly on his own appeal and answering love letters from mentally ill women. as he stared out into the bay where he dumped the woman who got in the way of his affair with massage therapist Amber Frey.
Some mutt wannabe in GP is going to make his “bones” on this POS.
I believe he’s guilty but I don’t believe he got a fair trial from the change of venue.
They moved the trial 80 miles away. That’s basically the same venue when it come to publicity. It needed to be removed from the Bay Area.
Just like the SF dog mauling trial was moved to Los Angeles. That is how you change the venue.
The case was national news, it was on Larry King and Nancy Grace constantly, other shows as well. It would have been hard to move the case to any area where no one had heard about it.
