Scott Peterson

Investigator Sam Reilly will also be called to testify, in that he was the first investigator on the scene. Shortly after the murder, Officer Reilly went to the defendant’s home at 2435 Damen Street, apt #2B and forced down Mr. John Hudsons’ and Dale Buckner’s door. While at the apartment, Officer Reilly Recovered a .38 revolver (matching the gun from the crime scene), a black leather jacket, and a newly registered Black Cadillac Sedan; which matched the description of the getaway car. Due to officer Reilly’s work, pertinent details of the defendant’s background and belongings have been brought to trial and will help us prove that the defendants did, beyond a reasonable doubt murder, and assist in murdering Mrs. Sara Lazar. Upon arrest, the defendant’s both refused to make a statement concerning the killing of Mrs. Lazar.

Christmas Eve of 2002, husband, Scott Peterson calls in his wife’s disappearance. His wife, Laci, was eight months pregnant. Four months after the disappearance, the remains of Laci and Conner were found a day apart washed up on the shore of Point Isabel State Park. The bodies were found a day apart. Scott was convicted of the murder of his wife and his unborn baby, but I am convinced that Scott should be walking the streets a free man. I believe he did not murder his expecting wife—his actions were justified by his shock, he was simply enjoying his last month of “non-daddy” freedom, and I think Scott was framed by Laci.

The prosecution reduced the charge from murder to manslaughter as they did not believe the requisite degree of reckless indifference or lack of mens rea were sufficient evidence to support the charge of murder. The use of discretion is outlined in the

Laci Peterson (Laci Denise Peterson, nee Rocha) Substitute teacher; on December 24, 2002, reported missing while pregnant at the age of 27; had partial remains found April 14, 2003; described as 5'1", about 140 pounds, white, with shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes, with dimples on both cheeks and a tattoo of a sunflower on her ankle; called "one of America's best-known murder victims" by the Modesto Bee; nicknamed "Jabber Jaws" and "J.J." by family, and "Cake Lady" and "Martha Stewart" by friends; erroneously referred to as "Lacy Peterson"; former resident of Modesto

The fifth aggravating circumstance reads, “The murder was committed to avoid or prevent arrest, to effect an escape, or to conceal the commission of a crime.” Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I feel that this one is fairly evident. Hickock and Smith are not the kind of criminals who murder people for fun. According to Mr. Smith’s testimony, “[Hickock]’d said it over and over, he’d drummed it

People tend to become confused on the differences between motive and evidence which are completely different in definition, yet have a few similarities as well when discussing how they tie into one another. Motive, as defined by Merriam Webster is “a reason for doing something”. For example, one’s motive for robbing a bank could be to pay of college debts. Evidence as defined by Merriam Webster is something which shows that something else exists or is true. For example, evidence to a murder could be a potential suspects fingerprints found on the gun used to execute a victim. How these two words, “evidence” and “motive”, words with completely different meanings can tie to each other is that in a case evidence could help find one’s motive for

When a defendant is accused of greater offenses, he has the right to have the court charge on lesser offenses included in the indictment, when there is a reasonable theory from the evidence that supports the defendant’s theory.

The message that Scott Westerfeld is trying to convey is that to live life to the fullest, you may have to take risks. This is shown by the evidence the author provides through Shay and Tally’s conversations. When Tally laughed and said “In only… two months and fifteen days,” Shay asked “Can’t we just wait until then?” Tally then responded with a sigh, saying “Sometimes I don’t think I can.” Shay follows up saying “Hey, might as well make the best of it.” In this piece of dialogue, the author portrays Tally as sad, someone who is jealous while trying to laugh out their sadness. Meanwhile Shay is her counterpart, with positive emotions. The author is telling the reader here to live life to the fullest, both through Shay’s words, and the tone and Shay’s expression. The
