Guest Jed Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/12/13/peterson.case/index.html Cheers went up outside the courtroom as the jury announced its decision after 11 1/2 hours of deliberations over three days. The jury had two options in deciding the 32-year-old former fertilizer salesman's fate: life in prison without parole or death by injection. Peterson clenched his jaw when the verdict was read but showed no other emotion, The Associated Press reported. Judge Alfred A. Delucchi will formally sentence Peterson on February 25. The judge has the option of reducing the sentence to life, but such a move in California is highly unlikely. If Delucchi upholds the sentence, Peterson will be sent to death row at San Quentin State Prison outside San Francisco, the infamous lockup where prisoners gaze out small cell windows overlooking the same bay where Laci Peterson's body was discarded. Eh?
Tyrion Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Peterson still might not be executed for decades, if ever. That is because California's death row has grown to house about 650 condemned men and women since the state brought back capital punishment in 1978, according to the AP. Since then, only 10 executions have been carried out -- the last one in 2002. It can take years for even the first phase of the appeals process to begin. Woo.

IG-64 Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I think he would've gotten what he deserved either way. He probably would've been killed in prison anyways.
90SK Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 This sentence seems justified. I mean, killing his pregnant wife? Yikes.

TK-8252 Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I really don't care if he gets life or death as long as he's not back in society after thirty years.
Leper Messiah Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 not the death penalty issue again.......... ok, he should die, and by a more painful method than lethal injection
Guest Jed Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 This is more of an "informational" post. Seriously, take it else where if you want to pick a fight.

Rogue Nine Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Yes, but we are not debating the merits and demerits of the death penalty. We are discussing Scott Peterson and his guilty verdict and subsequent sentencing.

Karma's a bitch. If peterson really did this (which I'm pretty sure he did) He'll get his in the end, and I feel very confident in that assumption. and noone give me that ass-u-me crap.
