Peterson lucked out and got his death sentence, for killing his wife Laci and unborn son, commuted to life without parole.  Now, pressing his luck, he's trying to get a new trial.  What if he got another death sentence?

He's aging, not the rosy cheeked cutie he used to be.  His unborn son would now be 18 years old.

He's a total waste of skin and oxygen........

In my opinion, life without parole is a harsher sentence. I am glad his death sentence was commuted; I am against the death penalty as a matter of principle and my values---for everyone no matter what the crime was that occurred.

@Kachina624   It's been that many years?  His unborn son 18?  Wow!  Scott is a piece of trash.  Any man that can kill his wife and unforn son  is a very sick inidividual that needs help. He puts himself in high esteem.   I wish  he had to live among the general population because the smile of his would be wiped from his face for good.

@Goldengate8361 I was too until my best firend was murdered and he served a little over 5 years.  That was 40 years ago.  

And until the bomb went off in Oklahoma City.  We would have been hearing about that guy and his new trials and parole boards and such to this day.  And the money spent and the media fame that would have followed. . . 

It was a different deal after it happened basically to me and my home.  Nonetheless a hard question.

Peterson disagrees with you.  To him, the death penalty is the harsher sentence.  That's why he's been appealing his death sentence all these years. Giving this double murderer the sentence he prefers is against my principles.  No one supports the death penalty in every murder case -- only in especially heinous and aggravated cases, like this one. To oppose the death penalty in every case  -- even in cases of extreme depravity, like this one -- strikes me as profoundly unjust.  One would have to believe that in no case can a victim's life ever be worth as much as her killer's.  If the law requires that Peterson's death sentence be commuted, so be it.  But surely that's nothing to be "glad" about.

@Goldengate8361 ITA that life without parole is a harsher punishment.  I live in the Bay Area, followed the trial and IMO he is guilty.

@Linmo I'm originally from Torrance in the South Bay and well recall this monster. The last execution in California took place in 2006. I'd like to see him suffer by existing the rest of his worthless life behind bars.

I never thought he was the least bit attractive tho one poster thought he had been a "cutie". Not me.

He so deserved the death penalty! Life in prison without parole is not enough in my opinion, but, I hope he doesn't get a new trial.
