I have been following this case since a very pregnant Laci went missing. I even belong to a group online that purchased all the transcripts of the trial. It is a forum filled with those that believed only in his guilt.

I don't know if you read about Peterson's lawyer Geragos putting an identical boat like Peterson owned in the parking lot of a building he owned in Redwood City. He had the boat placed there and in it was a headless dummy that weighed the same as Laci. He had used this boat to videotape evidence for the trial.

Leaving that boat out for all to see really was disgusting and so in trying to put the focus back on the victims our site started sending flowers to the boat. That gesture took on a life of its own and many others from around the world followed suit......

It was a remarkable feeling to be part of that, to show our support for the family of the victims. Too many times the victims of crime are left by the wayside.

No one can explain why the murder of this young woman and her child has had such an affect on so many people. Was it the fact she was pregnant? Christmas? Her smile?

Personally this tragedy enabled me to show someone very dear to me the dangers of being with a certain type of person and who since has abandoned a very toxic relationship.....

For that, I am grateful.
I am also grateful that justice has been served to the man who murdered his family.

His sentence is the correct one even though he may never get executed. He is Death Row's 642nd inmate in California and the rate of execution is less than one per year.
Chances are he will die of old age, alone with no friends or family with him.

He will spend years without the perks that would have come with life without parole for eventually he would have found his niche in his protected enviorment with others who would have accepted him.

The judge at sentencing can disagree with the jury on the penalty and make it LWOP but it is unlikely.....that occurs in Feb.2005.

OK lol...enough rambling!!!
