More on the Laci Peterson Murder Trial

You know, when a black man is on trial for murder, his trial may last a day or two, with little preparation ahead of time from his court-appointed attorney.

But in the Peterson case (and I'm sorry, but I'm going to wretch if I see my five thousandth grinning photo of the chubby little Laci) with some relatively affluent people, the prosecution is in its 11th (!!!) week of presenting its case, and appears to want to spend two whole weeks on tapes where the only thing Amber Frey manages to elicit from the defendant is that, "I did wrong by you, Amber."

Gee, don't the people of California have better things to spend money upon? I thought they were in a financial crisis.

The people do have better ways to spend their money. But the prosecution is trying to make the right happy by trying this man for the death of his unborn baby and to get themselves in the newspaper and on TV every day. They saw millionaire lawyer Mark Geragos join on the case and they turned this mess into another OJ. But even in OJ, there was more physical evidence.

Now we listen to all the talking heads saying these Amber tapes indict Peterson. Ludicrous. Besides, Amber didn't need Scott to ruin her life. She's done a gorgeous job of it herself.
