Death Row

The famous tragic case of the Peterson family began on Christmas Eve 2002, when the husband and father on the family, Scott Peterson, took the life of both his wife Laci Peterson and his unborn son Conner Peterson and dumped the bodies in the San Francisco Bay. The case went on for months seeing that Mrs. Peterson had went missing and when the detectives finally found her and her unborn son corpses, they collected evidence which put Peterson in prison, first with life with out parole in San Quentin State Prison, then on death row.

Peterson was to receive lethal injection in March 2005 for the murder of his family but he appealed the judges decision and probably will not face execution for about two decades. He has been rotting in prison for about five, six years now, and is constantly being moved from cell to cell. Though he still gets visits and has contacts with his family and friends, Scott Peterson is not likely to see daylight ever again. So for now he will be just sticking to shooting hoops in the court yard, playing cards with other inmates, and doing pull-ups because that is all the actions he is going to be getting.
In my opinion, I feel that Perterson commited the crime. I have always have from watching the various new stories and movies that were based on the crime. Death row for commiting the murder of you unborn child
and wife is deserved because who is to say Peterson will not do it again.
