It would seem that perhaps the heinousness of the crime, and the prosecutor's conviction that Peterson committed the crime, may have clouded his/her vision on carrying out proper procedure. I actually did check out a lot of the information on this case on courttv.com but it was a while back. That site is cool because all of the facts are there. After reading it I felt like any jury would have to convict. But, I was not in that courtroom. Please God, let them convict!
