Scott Peterson's Blog: Blame It On The Body

Scott Peterson told the jury that he went fishing. He described exactly where he fished, which boat he used, where he launched and docked, etc.

Laci's body washed up...right there.

This one piece of evidence is perhaps the most compelling, but definitely the most emotional, fact considered in the whole case.

Scott Peterson was found guilty and he's now bringing his case to the general public in an attempt to win an appeal. He's embraced the idea of citizen journalism (or perhaps citizen begging) and has launched a blog .

Scott points out that the location of the body is a crux issue. He quotes several of the jurors:

Juror #1, Greg Beratlis on Larry King Live, December 14, 2004:
"There's no bodies, it don't work. I spoke yesterday and I explained that if these bodies had been found any where else other than San Francisco Bay and, for that matter, right where Scott Peterson had described he had been fishing on Christmas Eve, we wouldn't be having this conversation."

Juror #9, Julie Zanartu on Hannity and Colmes with guest host Beckel, March 17, 2005 :
BECKEL: What was the single most important piece of evidence that made you decide that he was guilty?
ZANARTU: Exactly where he was fishing was where the bodies turned up. That was the bottom line.

Juror #8, John Guinasso on Larry King Live, March 16, 2005 :
KING: What, if anything, was the determining factor in this case, John?

 

GUINASSO: It's probably the most obvious, and that is where the bodies washed up. I can personally say for myself, if they would never have washed up, I could never have convicted Scott Peterson.
