REDWOOD CITY, Calif.March 16th 2005- "It
is hereby ordered that . . . for the offense of the murder of Laci
Peterson, and murder of Conner Peterson . . . that the defendant Scott
Lee Peterson shall be put to death".
Those words from San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Alfed A.
Delucchi, bring to an end, the trial and sentencing of Scott Peterson.
The judge denied a defense request for a new trial, but allowed family members of Laci Peterson to speak.
Sharron Rocha, Laci's mother lashed out at Scott. "You decided to
throw Laci and Conner away, dispose of them like they were just a piece
of garbage. You were wrong; dead wrong. An evil murderer," she said.
"The fact that you no longer wanted Laci did not give you the right to
murder her. She was my daughter . . . I trusted you", Rocha said. "You
betrayed everybody". |

Peterson-32, showed no emotion during the sentencing phase refered to as "a circus", by Laci's mother, Sharron.
Scott Peterson was sentenced in November, 2004, of 1st-degree
murder in the killing of his wife, and 2nd-degree murder for the
slaying of her fetus. One month later, a jury sentenced him to death.
So there you have it. The court is satisfied beyond a reasonable
doubt that Scott should die. How do you feel about the outcome of the
Peterson sentencing? |
