And Peterson was sentenced to death...

[conuly]

Why? Because the evidence was so compelling?

No.

He didn't show enough emotion during the trial.

(Thanks, rpeate)

Okay, youse guys can now talk about how horrible it is, because I'm too cold to do so.

Because you are misinterpreting what they said.

"The evidence was circumstantial from the start, but the jurors said a few simple truths stood out. The bodies of Laci Peterson and the couple's unborn son washed up near where Scott Peterson said he had been fishing the day she was reported missing. Peterson told a web of lies to those around him. that death was the right sentence for Peterson because he had betrayed the woman closest to him and the unborn son whose name the couple had already chosen."

Reading, it's fun.

Draco, I'm not getting into another fight with you. You're getting upset over this, far more than I'd expect. Unless you *were* a juror, I don't understand it, but I'm not going to argue with you until you calm down.

Side note, please do *not* type in strong, or whatever that is, because it really fucks up my monitor, no I don't know why.

I get upset when people who don't have the facts pretend that they know more than those who do; ie, you, and the person replying above.

I don't pretend to know everything, because I was not a juror, but it's obvious to anyone with common sense what happened. He was found guilty because he IS.

conuly never questioned his verdict. She questioned the penalty. So what is the reason, again, that you're insulting people?

*baffled*

[conuly]

I understand. However, as fugacious pointed out, I didn't bother talking about the verdict at all. I just said that the penalty, as far as the new reports show, was not handed out fairly.

Dude, you seem dumber with every response. Just want you to know.

Also, the whole "he was found guilty because he IS" is not the issue. That is what you seem to not understand, and that lack of understanding makes you look mockably foolish. The issue is not guilt, but rather the decision to kill, and the reasons behind the decision to kill.

Those might equally be the actions of a scumbag and and idiot, but it doesn't mean he's a *guilty* scumbag and idiot.
