Well, why make a point about it here and not on other sections? It makes it look like Scott Peterson is the only DR inmate that this board cares about.

Note the title: "Scott Peterson Supporters and Discussion Area". If you want a similar section for other prisoners you may need to request one. Note also that Peterson is the poster boy for conviction without evidence, although Dougles Mouser might also serve that function.

Just a reminder for supporters-- please don't feed the trolls. Your posts will get deleted if you quote their nonsense.

And for the trolls..... go away-- bashing is not allowed here.

This is a support area. You will be banned.

I am new to these chat rooms. What does 'feeding the trolls' mean exactly??
The last time I checked, here in England trolls are ugly little creatures that my daughter favours buying lots of to scatter around her room.

On the net, trolls are people who post offensive remarks such as going on a Jewish group and saying Hitler was right or a gay group and saying all gays must die. They are 'trolling' for an argument.

Very nicely put Happy!! ;D That could not have been explained in any better way!! Of course this is just my opinion!! I really enjoy reading the way you explain things on this site!! Very informitive!! Keep up the good work you guys!!

Now I think I understand what people mean when they say 'one language but two entirely different tongues' !!! I am going to learn a whole new vocabulary from you as I go along and then spread the word around these shores. Pretty soon, people around the streets of London will be muttering about 'that fratpack lot being a right bareknuckled bunch' etc etc and 'what trolls those politicians are'. ;D
I have been reading up on the Scott Peterson case today from various news websites. Interestingly, within the one site, there were three different figures given for the amount of cash found on Scott when he was finally arrested, ranging from $10,000.00 to $15,000.00!! Also, I see what posters mean about there not being a shred of actual evidence linking SP to said crimes.
I think the 'Moral Police' got recruited by the DA's office and comandeered the case from the outset. His adultery seems to have become the focal point of the whole prosecution case.

Although he lied about it throughout the trial, in a TV interview after the trial was over Brocchini admitted that he knew that Scott was sleeping with Frey before his first ever trip to Covena. The others from the MPD shut him up but the damage was done. It is assumed that Frey's 'cop friend' in her local department contacted someone on the MPD to find out more about Scott for her and that this person told Brocchini. It is reasonable to assume that Frey knew more about Scott than she admitted as well.

OMIGOD!! To think that this kind of institutional corruption can go on in the 21st century! I was even more alarmed to read here that the jury did not have a clue on what technical basis (if any) they were convicting a guy and sending him to his death if not by one means then by another.
I wonder how Frey can sleep at nights, if she has any kind of conscience at all.

I must have missed the information that Brocchini knew about Frey before his trip to Covena! That explains a lot in terms of how this investigation was conducted.

I wonder why Geragos never put Frey's cop friend on the stand to verify how and when he realized Scott Peterson was "Amber's Scott Peterson".

I still don't understand how the MPD was allowed to use Amber to tape calls on their behalf. If Scott did not know he was being taped, how could they use the tapes as evidence?

If this has already been covered, sorry to bring it up again. I have been glued to this case since day 1.

When Frey taped Scott's calls she violated California law - repeatedly. When she passed those calls on to a third person she violated Federal law. Only the calls taped by the MPD pursuant to a warrant were legally obtained - and they proved nothing. The calls between Scott and his lawyers which the MPD listened to were also illegal - and they perjured themselves over that.

Thank you happyhaddock for explaining the taped calls.

Amber was dumb, because if your dating a guy, and he always comes to your house, and never takes you to his own house, plus never gives you his home phone number, what does that tell you? Geese, what a shocker to find out then that he's married!
And yes, taping the phone calls was wrong, and it was not necessary because really what did those phone calls prove- nothing! In fact, when I listened to them I thought Scott sounded really nice and Amber sounded mean and irrational, yelling at him when it was common sense from the beginning that he was married. Really, Amber didn't have to come forward with any of this at all, let alone stooping to such a deceitful level as taping phone calls, which proved nothing. All it did was give the media some drama. I think if I would have been in Amber's shoes I would have kept the whole thing quiet, and just run from the situation. She didn't have to spot-light herself at all. Then maybe Scott wouldn't be where he is today, and would have gotten a more fair trial.

I agree with your post about Amber pumpkinpie. I thought it was in poor taste for Amber to come before the camera and rub salt in the wound of Laci's family, Scott's family included. It should have been handled quietly, IMO.
