What else can we talk about, then? 😉 Everyone I know was astounded the jury wasn’t hung. The quickness of the verdict surprised me, but I don’t suspect a kangaroo court–there’s just too much evidence, I think. Laci, Connor, rest in peace. ---

Am I the only one driven to the brink of madness by this? In the spirit of being sick and fucking tired of the peterson trial, I thought it would be better to confine my bitch to ONE thread instead of opening another thread about it so some dumbass(such as yourself), could stroll on in and say something witty like “Do we really need more than one Scott Peterson thread on the front page of the pit?” > [@](#): > > Leave it! Resist your morbid curiosities! Live your own lives! Can you not see that this trial has ZERO relevance to you? Do not be drawn into the vortex! Resist! I suppose you don’t see the irony in a reaction like this about something that supposedly has no relevance to you… Sam ---

I am happy to claim utter ignorance of this debacle. Well, almost utter, I do need some clarification: The child, that he was convicted of second-degree murdering … was that the _unborn_ one? ---

I see Keller licking his lips already. (Okay, does it still freak you out to see Chris Meloni as a cop on Law & Order and not be able to think it’s Keller??) ---

> [@5que](#): > > Gotta disagree – the preresiquite is a cute, white female. Mr. Rilch, MIL and I were discussing this yesterday. What you and **gobear** said are a factors (though Laci wasn’t white), and there are many others. One of which is the timing of what was thought of at first as Laci’s disappearance. Christmas Eve. Similarly, Jon-Benet’s body was discovered the day after Christmas. Linking a murder or other horrible crime to Christmas always bumps up the pathos. Heck, any holiday. In LA, people still know what you mean when you say “the Mother’s Day murders.” But especially Christmas.
