Scott Peterson Sentenced to Death

[Scrooge McSam]

This post is in no way meant to defend Scott Peterson, because I don't...

but (there's always a "but", isn't there?)

This is very curious to me.

Peterson's attorney, Mark Geragos, tried to get the judge to allow Peterson's parents, Jackie and Lee Peterson, to speak, on the basis that they were related to Conner.

But the judge said the hearing was an opportunity for Laci's relatives to speak only.

Is that so? Hmmm Peterson was tried for the murder of his wife AND his unborn son. It makes no sense to me for the judge to say comments will only be allowed if they're from the Rochas, as if Lacy was the only victim.

The state decided earlier that there were in fact 2 victims. And one of those victims was related to the Petersons.
