Calif. Jury Urges Death Penalty for Scott Peterson
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (Reuters) - A California jury on Monday recommended the death sentence for Scott Peterson for killing his wife and unborn son following a sensational trial that riveted much of the country.
The jury of six men and six women, who found Peterson guilty on Nov. 12, deliberated for about 12 hours before deciding that he should be executed for the murders of his 27-year-old wife, Laci, and unborn son, Conner.
I'm actually a little surprised. I wasn't sure a California jury would give him the death penalty. I mean, you can get the death penalty in Idaho for insulting someone's Confederate lineage (I keed, I keed), but isn't California supposed to be a hot-bed of flaming liberals who don't approve of the death penalty? I'm allowed to say that, speaking as a flaming liberal myself, you know.
Anyway, anyone have any thoughts about it all?
