More on Peterson

I have a few thoughts regarding some of the jurors statements to the press since the monster got the chair (it's a figure of speech, I know they just push the goodnight button).

Richelle Nice, the juror with the natural looking bright red hair complained that he didn't show any emotion. Michael Belmessieri said he showed no remorse. Steve Cardosi said that losing his wife and child didn't seem to faze him, and that he was romancing his girlfriend while all this was going on.

All of this may well be true, but it should have no merit on the decision making process of the jury. The job of the jury is to listen to the evidence as it is presented, and then to make their decision based on that evidence. That's it. Nothing more.

The same jurors are also saying that Scott Peterson didn't say anything during the trial. Not only is that his right, it also isn't exactly true. If he was represented properly, and I'm not sure he was, he did all his talking through his attorney as he should. Personally I think Geragos did a pretty poor job of refuting the prosecutions largely circumstantial case.

Do I think that Peterson killed his wife and unborn child? Yes. I just don't think the prosecution did a good enough job of proving it. Then again, I wasn't there listening to it day in and day out.
