[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The notion that Peterson is a deranged sociopath because he told his side piece he was a widower seems a stretch to me. That assumes he methodically planned to kill Laci and Conner - but for what purpose?

Scott was a serial philanderer, as philanderers often are. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2004/09/28/defense-scott-cheated-on-laci-before/amp/

A few pages back someone posted a People interview with Mark Geragos in which he discusses his honest belief in Scott’s innocence. (Defense attorneys are not naive, do not typically get hoodwinked by clients and after decades of practice have very good radar for actual innocence.) Geragos spoke to the total lack of real motive for Scott to have killed Laci. He had never claimed to love Frey, he was very excited to become a dad according to all the friends and family (including Laci’s family who initially were entirely in his corner), and he’d cheated repeatedly over the course of the relationship without ever expressing any intention to leave Laci, who forgave his cheating. Prior cheating partners were also lied to - he’s not married, he’s getting divorced.

He’s a widower is well within the lexicon of married men on the prowl for a side piece, I know because it’s happened to me and years ago I participated on a forum for ‘other women and other men’ where many OWs who were hoodwinked into an affair with a married were told their lover was a widower. It’s an automatic sympathy boost for men and women and elicits a whole other level of fawning response from affair partners beyond the usual new lover intensity. Bereaved widowers are like catnip to some women, proof of a devoted man and all.

I really don’t think that Scott’s poor character alone should be sufficient evidence to convict him.

I hope the DNA from the van is tested and if that very plausible alternative theory of the crime doesn’t pan out, then I won’t be so concerned that a miscarriage of justice might have occurred.[/quote]

Does $250,000 create a suitable motive?
