Scott Peterson was just found guilty of first degree murder of his wife, Laci, and second degree murder of his unborn son, Conner. After days of jury shifts and changes and two jurors expelled, the newly constituted jury got down to business and found Scott guilty in less the five hours.
I've listened to various pundits discuss the case over the last five months and I think the quickness of the verdict concerned some that it would mean an acquittal. But I guess, the cad like attitude displayed by Scott in his telephone calls to his 'girlfriend' Amber while at memorial services for Laci and the fact that Laci's body was discovered just miles away from where Scott was fishing and that there wasn't enough time for Laci to have been abducted that Christmas eve morning led to the inevitable conclusion that the weight of the circumstantial evidence said - GUILTY!
I can't imagine spending five months on a jury like this or having to be sequestered for the last week and a half. More power to those who were able to get it right!
