Well, as one of the few who still believes Peterson to be not guilty, I take some consolation in the fact that his death penalty is, in this state, tantamount to a life sentence.
He will join 680 other inmates on California's death row. 11 people have been executed since the death penalty was reinstated in 1971. Um, chances are that Peterson will die in prison of natural causes (the death sentence provides him with facilities safer than he would find in general population).
