Pulling people out of the ditc...

Okay, let's see if we can't change the nastiness and do a simple poll. We've all seen or heard about the Scott Peterson trial. Simple question, is he guilty? Or innocent? It seems that even the jury can't decide.

Is this what your opinion was on the OJ case, too?

No. I personally had more information about the evidence being used against OJ, and watched nearly the entire trial on television. I have only seen sparse news regarding this case.

Well, I'm following it, sort of. I can't believe that they've dismissed ANOTHER juror, 2nd in 2 days!! Even if they get a conviction, the defense has ammo for an appeal based on the jury, between their field trip to the boat and three members getting replaced.

Ok, I was just trying to get a feel for how you interpret evidence in high-profile trials. In my opinion, when a man tells a mistress that he's a widower, and then winds up being one, that may be more than a coincidence.

I've only heard splashes here and there. In the OJ case we heard everything... well, enough at least. OJ is still looking for the "real killers" you know... on the golf courses...

Scott Peterson need only look as far as the mirror.
For me the thing that really sealed his guilt was when they found him a short distance from the Mexican border, with dyed hair, cash and I believe fake ID. Does an innocent man behave like that? I think not.

If he doesn't think he can get a not guilty verdict and he knows he's innocent, sure.

Court TV is reporting that he wouldn't allow the jurors to take a vote until they had reviewed every piece of evidence and that the other jurors got a tad po'd.

Well ladies, prepare for Armageddon then. I think this lying, cheating, hair dying, close to Mexico cash carrying, new car buying, fishing on Christmas Eve with a very pregnant wife fella is as guilty as sin…

The trip to Mexico is proof that he acts guilty, but does not prove guilt. I am a firm believer in innocent until proven guilty. I have served on 6 jurys and let me tell you it is not fun. No one really wants to be there and there are always some people that do not take the responsibility seriously. To be honest, it only made me more suspicious of our judicial system.
Pressure makes people do strange things - Mexico, hair color and money is not worth convicting over, what if you did something dumb after being wrongly accused.

I, too, believe that this is how the law should see the accused. But since I am not the law, I get to see Scott Peterson through the eyes of a reasonable human being.
And there is too much circumstantial evidence there for a reasonable human being to conclude that he's innocent.

The poll indicates he should be hung from the nearest tree, by an overwhelming majority.
