EDIT - Psh. Y'all beat me.
Isn't it strange that Laci is 1st degree and Connor 2nd?

IMO a bad verdict as well because of the evidence being solely circumstantial. Having said that, Peterson's lawyer is to blame. the prosecution got off to a bad start, but G. kept acting like an idiot. He also never showed if Scott P. did not do it then who did. While that is not an element of the crime, etc. - it sure would have helped the jury aq. him.

I wouldn't be surprised if Scott tried to appeal on the grounds of bad representation.

He must have been the one telling them there wasn't really enough evidence...

I would think he was a dumb ass if he didn't. Although, i also think he's guilty!

Nice one. I think there was, even though it was circumstantial it all pointed to one conclusion. That's my opinion.

Nah, I've said all along that he'd be found guilty because the prosecution did a marvelous job with ****ty evidence. Geragos was a joke in the courtroom, his schnozz did a better job of representing Scott than his brain did.

Oh, and now we find out that Geragos wasn't even in the courtroom when the verdict was announced. What a chicken sh*t.

Well, they just announced it and he could have been in another trial (it happens )

As for the verdict. The jury spoke. AND - other than some evidentiary exclusions that were improper (a video tape demonstrating SP's aluminum boat being unable to accomodate the weights and the body as the D theorized it did) is a good one. The jury substitutions arre another. But, courts are loathe to overturn a jury verdict - so we shall see if that is enough. Finally, I think it undermines the system whenever anyone is convicted without direct evidence because I would never want to be convicted on circumstantial evidence or found guilty of murder just because I was a philanderer (which is what the prosecution implied) - who would. But and again, the jury spoke.
