How many of you would be so determined to prove the innocence of Peterson were he an ugly humped back dwarf with one eye and a skin condition?
Is he THE most deserving person on DR, he seems to get an inordinate ammount of support.

Joe,
Personally I don't care what Scott Peterson looks like. IMO the reason he has so much support is because his trial was a travesty of justice for a MULTITUDE of reasons and many of the problems in our justice system manifested in his trial. THAT disturbs me. A person on DR with NO..... I repeat NO evidence what-so-ever... should alarm and concern everyone.

You know you are only asking because of a bit of hogwash written on the pro board. |

I wonder this as well. And what males support him? In fact, I haven't thought about it, but do men write to men on DR at all?

I cannot say yes or no but I know a few men right to women on death row.
Best wishes,

Best wishes, Judy Not as many men seem to admit writing to death row inmates and no doubt women make up the biggest number corresponding. To a certain extent I understand what Joe is getting at, the media use the way people look to manipulate all sorts of situations. I think Laci and Scott looked so happy and good together in photos.............. |

I get emails to CCADP every day from men writing to prisoners. Like most of the women we hear from; these people write for various reasons; an interest in human rights; legal issues; brightening someones day, religious reasons etc.
It seems they are less likely to appear on these forums; but almost as likely if not equally as likely; to write to prisoners. (not romantic; most writing to men.) Though I can also tell you the women on DR get a lot of mail from men; some disturbing; to the point where one ended up asking for her address to be removed and for serious contacts to contact her initially through us....

Who are you and why are you so rude?
Is it just to me or to everyone?
I am asking simply because he has a huge area on this site is that because he is undoubtedly the most innocent man on daeth ro? Or is it because there is something else about peterson that grasps the popular mind.
How the hell do you know that Lesbains/men write to him anyway? Or is that yet another area of your expertise?
thanks to maggie and mohgirl for their honest responses.

ok, lets talk honest Joe. I am a 23 year old female in Florida with a girlfriend who i live with... so if ud like to categorize me as a lesbian then have at it, whatever makes u sleep at night works for me. Anyways... I do write to Scott. I didn't really follow the trial when it happened, because it seemed so disturbing. Around the time that he was sentenced, I read something online about him and the case. I can not recall exactly what it was that sparked my interest but i did some research. I have read court transcripts, heard opinions, read the books, argued till i was blue in the face that he is innocent. Do i write him because hes cute? Nope, I used to be married to this hot guy who went to jail for three years... i didn't write him cause he was cute. Do i write him cause i wanna be with him romantically? Nope. I write him cause hes a man, just a man, a man who is on death row for reasons beyond our control and i feel horrible to live in a country that holds a mans life above his head for a crime that he may or may not have committed.i don't believe in the death penalty, I do believe that people in this country have lost compassion for people in Scott's situation. I'm so grateful for the people on this website that write to people on death row and show them that someone somewhere out there cares. people in prison aren't dead, but they are sometimes forgotten and thats sad. I support Scott because of the evidence, or lack there of. I believe that the media convicted Scott and i would feel that way even if he were a midget with 3 eyes from Georgia.

I felt the exact same way about David Westerfield until I found out he was willing to make a deal with the prosecution about the whereabouts of body of Danielle. Fortunately, they found her before the deal was made. Westerfield certainly is no 'looker', but I hate the thought of the innocent being punished along with the guilty. I'm going to presume innocence of every person accused until it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. That was definately not the case in SP's case. How many of you would be so determined to prove the innocence of Peterson were he an ugly humped back dwarf with one eye and a skin condition? Is he THE most deserving person on DR, he seems to get an inordinate ammount of support. |

It's so sad that the jury in Scott Petersons case didn't require ANY evidence AT ALL to send someone to death. Sad AND scary. |

Is he THE most deserving person on DR, he seems to get an inordinate ammount of support. This is a response about Westerfield. I think the Westerfield trial was another one that did not have the evidence for a conviction. This story was leaked after the verdict about a deal Westerfield was trying to broker about the location of Danielle. Would it shock you to know that the police wanted to offer him that deal and he refused to talk to them. Check the source of where that the info came from that he wanted to make that deal. That was a story floated by LE to keep the heat off of them for botched investigation and possibly suppression of vital evidence. Never trust O"Reilly with balanced reporting. The Westerfield case is somewhat evidence that he didn't get the attention he deserved because he was wasn't the same kind of sympathetic figure as a Scott Peterson. Westerfield was an easy conviction because of the media flaming the passions of the public with the outrage of a murder of a child. His case deserves a close look at the police and did they do an investigation and present evidence that was true and untampered. |

I agree with you completely. My total belief that Scott is innocent of this horrendous crime has NOTHING to do with what he looks like. The fact that there is no evidence, DNA, witnesses, motive etc etc etc......... proves to me that the man is innocent, handsome or homely has NOTHING to do with how I feel about this case.
