Federal judges ARE appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation...the bad news is that most of the judges we have seated on the benches now are Clinton-Carter appointees, and they have the idea that "the laws are whatever the judges say they are", rather than holding strictly to the laws as written.

As to Peterson, I concur that the lies, audiotapes, escape attempt, etc. are VERY strong circumstantially...but then, there's that missing girl from his college days to consider...the last person to have been known to be dating her is "you guessed it!"...and she has never been found.

Why the prosecution isn't looking into this girl, in light of the allegations surrounding Peterson, baffles me...it could establish a "pattern".

Good point Bill. I remember reading early on about this missing girl in Scott's past. And then you rarely hear anything more about that. That's an important piece of the puzzle if you ask me.

CNN's website has daily article updates/testimonies. Family members/cleaning ladies/spa employees are coming forward to give their testimonies.

I suspected Scott was guilty from the beginning. Mainly because so many spouses and parents (of children) have been found guilty of murder. Naturally you are suspicious now when a story breaks like this. I just didn't buy his story - she was 8 months pregnant and he wants to go fishing all day long on Christmas Eve Day? That just didn't sound right to me from the start. This was their first baby and most parents to be are very-very careful at this stage. And finally, the reason I believe he's guility is his behavior once Laci was reporting missing. We never saw Scott tear up/sob (as her Mother and Stepfather did), never saw him relentlessly out in the community, actively searching for her. He should have been FRANTIC! Okay some of you may say, maybe Scott is the type that doesn't show his feelings well. Then why did he try to sell her car and redorate the nursery? Didn't he even try to sell the house? I forget some of these details but each time the press would show him golfing, hair dyed a new shade, or trying to sell a car, I immediately thought - this isn't proper behavior for a grieving husband and father. I would like to think if I were missing, I would hope my husband wouldn't be able to sleep, eat, go to work, golf, function at any normal level. My God - this was his wife and son!

Just felt compelled to explain WHY I think he's guilty.

Fox News, also. Greta Van Sustern discusses the case every night with experts.

The trial isn't on TV, but Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, and Court TV have daily updates on it. There's no camera in the court.

And it was reported that he bought the fishing license just days before this happened, and he went fishing in San Francisco Bay with light FRESH WATER tackle. Either he's guilty or he's a dope. Maybe both.

Update, September 21, 2004:

From the CBS website....

"Scott's Theory On Laci's Fate"

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/ ... 1756.shtml


quote from article:
Modesto police Detective Craig Grogan said Peterson theorized "that she had been wearing jewelry that she inherited from her grandmother and that he'd seen her wearing it on that morning, and when she went into the park a transient had robbed her."

____________________

Yeah Scott, that's the ticket. A simple robbery gone horribly wrong.....we buy that, sure. NOT!

Bonnie, I know you have comments on this latest news.....this guy is unbelievable!

Mary

PS - self edit, somehow I had the wrong link for this article. Sorry if that was confusing anyone...

Miss Mary,
I am following this case very closely. Prosecutors will wrap up their case next Thursday.
I watch Greta every night for the very latest info.
And Court TV has a great message board, too.
My motto is "Frey, Scott, Frey" !!! :)

Bonnie - should have known you'd still be following this case. I got a little sidetracked lately by Charley, Frances, and Ivan. Good motto BTW.
