Peterson Trial......

I think this is a great topic for this board. I think this is a great example of what an Affair can drive people to do.

I just wanted to get others thoughts on the Peterson Trial, do you think he killed his wife, if so, what makes you believe it is him? After only a 6 to 8 week affair, do you believe the Peterson marriage had more problems than maybe even the families of the couple could comprehend?

It seems to me that if he did kill his wife Lacy, that there were far more problems leading up to the horrific tragedy, and the Affair just pushed it over the edge. The A gave him one one last reason to add as to why he felt he had to get Lacy out of his life, and Amber was just with the wrong man at the wrong time.

I have been keeping up with this from day one, when Lacy was missing. I see that all of the motives are there against Scott, but unless prosecution comes up with more evidence than they are letting on at this point in the trial, Scott may walk a free man. JMO. Right now, the state doesnt seem to have enough against him to convict, all of the coinscidences are all too many, however they have got to have something solid, something very solid for such a crime. I would think had he killed her in the home, the police can spray luminol and bring up any blood that would have been in the house, even after bleaching. But yet I have heard nothing of such strong evidence.

Hopefully they have some really great proof, and they are just holding it back for now. I have heard that Amber is the strongest thing that prosecution has, and if thats the case, it isnt enough to convict him of murder. It is only enough to prove that he wasnt in love with his wife and ended up in an A.

Thoughts?

sorry but I haven't been interested in this at all... maybe the thought of it scares me - or maybe I have enough problems of my own that I don't want to think about some man killing his wife... whatever the reason... I can't offer an insight into this post! LOL

Just thought you should know why I'm not replying! LOL :)

For someone who has been "keeping up" you have the Spelling of her name wrong. It's Laci. I think it's a can of worms on this board.
