I agree, ckeaton. His intent was to kill the wife. The baby was incidental.

Because he ploted to kill Lacy....The baby was a bystander.

Same thing happened to my neighbor in AZ....her husband shot in the head during an argument...that wasnt premeditated....he turn and shot his 5 yr old daughter in the top of the head (when asked why he said, Because she could tell someone) that was premeditated

He got 1st degree for his daughter and 2nd degree for his wife....he now sits on Death Row in AZ and has been there for 17 years....not sure what kind of justice THAT is

I'm kind of surprised that he was convicted of 1st degree murder given the lack of physical evidence. No cause of death. No murder weapon. No eyewitness. I'm not sure if I was on the jury that I could have found him guilty in the 1st degree.

re: Scott Peterson Murder Trial Verdict Due at 4PM EST

As long as the jury can establish that he had planned to kill her, then it wasn't a crime of passion, which would have been murder 2. His M.O. is irrelevant.

re: Scott Peterson Murder Trial Verdict Due at 4PM EST

Exactly TAT. But without physical evidence or an eyewitness, how do you establish that it was pre-meditated?

re: Scott Peterson Murder Trial Verdict Due at 4PM EST

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it could be established through his taped conversations with Amber, and the prosecution(which did a crap job, but anyway...) worked at establishing a motive of killing to be with Amber/getting out of father duty, etc.

What type of physical evidence did you have in mind?

Edit: An eyewitness to the murder, or a witness who can testify that Peterson told him/her that he was planning on killing someone? An eyewitness to the actual murder wouldn't necessarily be conclusive, but an eyewitness who can prove the *planned and deliberate* portion would be useful.

re: Scott Peterson Murder Trial Verdict Due at 4PM EST

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I think he's innocent. I just don't know, given the lack of hard evidence, that I could have found him guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, of 1st degree murder.

No I know. I like engaging in this because I'm a criminology major and pre-law so I salivate for discussions like this. re: Scott Peterson Murder Trial Verdict Due at 4PM EST

I'm not too sure how the prosecution put Murder 1 on the table in the first place. Lemme look it up.

re: one dead peter

Mwahahahahahaha!!!! Funny one Papa.

Ok... he's having an adulterous affair with Amber. (Apparently just one of many.) And he doesn't want to assume the responsibility of being a father. What I still don't get is why he would have chosen to go to the extreme of killing Lacey, rather than just leaving her. I mean I can understand a crime of passion; someone killing someone in the heat of anger. And I can even understand, to some degree, why a serial killer kills. But what I don't understand is why, in this day and age, a man in his position would choose murder over divorce.

re: one dead peter

curtain, i don't think anyone can ever really understand why someone commits murder. sure you can explain crimes of passion and such, but even if scott were to give a detailed powerpoint presentation of the thinking behind the killing, i'm pretty sure we'd all sit there afterwards and go, "huh?" sure much of it would be rational, but there'd always be that one point where he stops and says, "and so now i have to kill her," where we'd all stop and start twirling a finger at our temples in the universal technical demonstration understood to mean, "yep, he's batsh*t crazy."
