[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that Scott Peterson did a lot of questionable things during his wife’s Laci’s disappearance as well as after her + Conner’s death.

First he claimed he played golf, then he said he actually went fishing.
He bought a new boat and Laci & Conner’s dead bodies were discovered in the area where he had been fishing.

It was also strange how he tried to sell his house as well as Laci’s vehicle shortly afterward.
And of course, having an affair while your wife is due to have your first baby is not a good look at all.

However, these are ALL circumstantial things.
Sure Scott is a lying, cheating rat of a husband.

But to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt would be actual evidence presented linking him directly to the crime.
Not simply basing his conviction on his nefarious behavior.[/quote]

I’ve sat on several juries (DC resident, not a lawyer; they love me) and have been reminded several times that circumstantial evidence IS actual evidence. It isn’t a lesser kind of evidence; it just involves more dot-connection. Hardly any crimes are solved based on direct evidence, eg eye witness testimony or video of the crime. [/quote]
