I guess I'd generally say that I wish the death penalty wasn't an option in the first place, BUT I'm not really bothered by this at all. Contrary to what some of you have posted, I think the odds that he is innocent are astronomical. Circumstancial evidence is great evidence, particularly when you have a thousand pieces of it.

And I don't think stewing in prison for life is a worse punishment than death, as many believe. One gets accustomed to the lifestyle prison provides, and finds ways to make himself useful and fulfilled. He can read, he can exercise, he can play games, he can dream, he can remember, he can "find religion." Lacy gets to do none of that.

I think Scott Peterson's life should end. NOW.
