I guess I can murder someone by shooting them in the head with a pistol, wipe off all traces of fingerprints on the gun, place it in their hands, and have no eye witnesses and get off scott free because there isnt overwhelming evidence that I murdered the guy, even though I had a motive. The guy fired me from a job, and people overheard me talking about knockin the guy off........ but hey, they dont have any hardcore physical evidence of me killing the guy because there isnt any physical traces anywhere, just a random hair and some mud, which could have come from his shoes. what a great country!
no what I was saying, is that if I was just implying that I was going to knock the guy off, or kill the guy because he fired me. people say that all the time in jest, whenever they are mad. Im not saying scott peterson said he killed his wife. Im just showing circumstantial evidence in this supposed case which would compare to the scott peterson case.
Look, i honestly dont see any evidence in this case which is beyond a reasonable doubt. I see the most damning piece of evidence against scott peterson being that they found the body where he was fishing on christmas eve. I would think it was a lot more damning if they found the body right after they found out he went fishing. Of course, they didnt, and the body showed up 4 months later after the scene was widely publicized on every major news network. After 51 searches in the area the cops couldnt find a thing. That by itself puts reasonable put doubt into the situation, IMO.
you know, megara... you actually have some good points. i still think he is guilty but you made me think about it from another aspect....
Anyone who thinks he's innocent explain this: Scott Peterson says Laci left the house at 10:18 to walk their dog. Records say he left the house at 10:08. That means that in 10 minutes, Laci put the leash on the dog, got out of the house, went walking and got herself murdered. He's saying that a random guy strangled his pregnant wife and then drove 10 miles away to dump her body in a body of water that her husband Scott happened to be fishing at THAT DAY! He lied to his mistress, Amber, saying that he was a single man. When she found out that he was married, he told her that his wife was dead. Then weeks later, he killed her, and dumped her body in the lake that he fished at. This case doesn't need any more evidence.
You have it a bit backwards. at 10:18 is when the dog was found in the street. At 10:08, peterson got a call on his cell and was within 1.5 miles of the home. So yes, that does leave a 10 minute window Its not the job of the defense to explain anything. Its job is to put reasonable doubt into the situation. There isnt a cause of death, how can you prove its murder? Its beyond reason.
