Just announced. Experts say this could be a good thing for him. The appeals will be more realistic for him to get out on a technicality because the courts will investigate every detail in a death sentence. Also, they said he would get killed in prison within a couple of years anyway if he hadnt had the death sentence.

Not to rub it in, but if I win, I think I'll end the season tied for 2nd. And if you saw the team I started the year with, you'd understand what a miracle that is.

Why would he be killed in prison? Prisons are filled with murderers, many of whom killed spouses, girlfriends, etc. I can understand the logic of a child molester being at risk, but why would murderers be angry with another murderer?

I do not know how anyone could feel this way. I believe that capital punishment is wrong.

I was watching as the verdict was read. I did not follow the case and don't really care, but I found it interesting that CNN had done some research as to what costs the taxpayers more Life w/o parole vs. execution. Their results were that the death penalty actually costs the state MORE because of the endless appeals that are granted after a death sentence is laid down. It would be cheaper for the state to let the guilty person rot in jail than go through all the hurdles to actually execute someone.
I wish I was albe to see their info. All they did was just state their "facts".

It is my understanding that due to the death sentence, he will be on "death row" in isolation. One of the networks was talking about how this was the "safest" verdict for him, because supposedly he will be unreachable to the general population of the prison. They also mentioned that inmates take a very dim view of child murderers and he would not have lived very long, if he had received the "life without parole" sentence.

Lady Luck, Nobody will have a chance to get to him while he is on Death Row. Thats why they say this is good for him. The reason he would be killed in prison i guess is because he killed a pregnant mother. Criminals think differently. It strikes me as odd when inmates kill other inmates. But I guess there are some that feel strongly about certain things and since they are going to die in that prison anyway, they figure they might as well take out somebody that felt that did something wrong. I dont know...beats me. Also, recognition. Scott Peterson getting killed would be big time media. If it was just some random murder...nobody would hardly hear about it. But you can bet before Peterson ever got to that prison, everybody would know who he was.

He didn't do it and no evidence to prove it. This is a shame.

Well then, I guess you can say, in a way, that it is to his benefit to have received the death penalty. He will probably live a much longer life this way.

That's the thing I hate about the California Death Penalty. I think that as soon as he received his sentence he should have been executed immediately. I have a feeling that sort of swift punishment would have a very positive impact of the ridiculous rate of crime in this state.

A completely unfounded statement.

Actually, there is a great deal of evidence. You may not like the fact that it is circumstantial, but that does not change the fact that it exists and is relied on in murder cases every day.

Well, it is certainly tragic for his family. But justice has been served.

I agree, the man has been found guilty. It is up to the appellate courts now to decide whether there is a reason to overturn the verdict and this process can take years.

There was an article in the paper not too long ago that in CA, death row inmates die from natural causes and at the hand of other inmates more frequently than at execution.

I agree. The last person executed was 2 years ago and he was on death row for 20 years and there are over 600 on death row now. Unless another inmate kills him he be there for along time!
I think that's the most insensitive, assinine thing I have ever read. So, if you are convicted and given the death penalty you should be stripped of your rights to appeal, and executed. Good idea. Next we will say that the government should be able to take away your drivers license because an eye witness said you were speeding.
The appeals system is there for a reason. INNOCENT people get convicted too you know.
