you know, i generally believe scott peterson did it too. but i don't understand the unkind comments towards his family. even the worst monster out there has a mother and father, and its hardly unique or unusual for a mother or father to be true to their child no matter what. are they living in a fantasy world by not accepting their child's guilt? of course. can you fault them, at the most basic levels, for embracing that fantasy?

lady cop · Post by **lady cop** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 3:11 pm

there is a negative attitude towards the petersons because of certain behaviors they exhibited during the search for Laci and thereafter. i also understand that parents will stand by their child, no-one would fault them for that. but in this case they were obnoxious and deceitful as well, too much to detail here. so they earned a significant amount of emnity from the public as a whole. they were an unsympathetic lot on several levels.

Perhaps you are not familiar with what this family was up to including establishing 'their own' toll free tip line that when the Police checked it out they discovered tips implicating Scott we not forwarded to Police.

and then, after the bodies wash ashore ~ Jackie meeting Scott in a museum to slip him $10,000 Cash.

In his car on arrest credit cards in Jackies name in his posession, pesos, knives, gear, tools, his brother's drivers license and the list goes on and on.

This family is DIRTY with a capital D - they know Scott murdered Laci, it is not a matter of refusing to believe it - it is a matter of knowing it and covering for him.

I have not even scratched the surface in regards to the Peterson Clan ~ but beleive me when I say more Peterson's will come forward to denounce Scott.

Cass · Post by **Cass** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 6:07 pm

Hi tmbsgrl, I read Amber's book and enjoyed it.

it was an easy read written very matter-of-factly, she talked about her friend setting Scott up with her, how she vouched for him being a good guy and unmarried. She described their first date and then more time they spent together and how wonderful he was to her daughter.

She was floored to find out he was the 'same' scott peterson with the missing wife and she was freaked about taping the calls but she really wanted to get info out of scott to help find out what happened to Laci.

there were really no big revelations in the book, things I found interesting is how Laci's mom phoned and met with Amber and thanked her for helping. She also stayed with a friend of Laci's one night and they spent the whole night up talking about everything.

So nice family photos in the book of Amber and her daughter and baby son, also a modelling shoot she did.

I am glad I bought it ~ it floors me how people criticize & trash amber's book when they have not even read it

oh, i'm sure it was an easy read, done in crayons was it? i don't need to read it when i listened to her inarticulate unintelligible gibberish on the book tour. that's all i needed to hear. ...but that's another thread...i will really look forward to hearing something revealing some peterson family dynamics by an insider. the petersons will say she is lying and motivated by money. i can hardly wait.

LadyCop ` admittedly (even by herself) she is not a good public speaker, that does not mean she is not intelligent, she simply becomes tongue tied and panics. This happens to many people who are normally articulate.

Her book was not in crayon ~ what a mean thing to say!

then why trot her out for the dog and pony show? she was a total embarrassment....bring out the ghostwriter instead. i'm not sure, based on her responses, that amber even read the book. :rolleyes: ...and yes, i am 'mean' when someone tries to insult my intelligence with essentially a rewrite of everything that was already in the public domain. blatant money-grubbing. i don't feel badly about making fun of her at all. :p ...anyway, we have beaten this dead horse enough over the months. amber is history now. oh, do you happen to know to whom the judge awarded custody of the baby, her or the chiropractor?....and, to be fair, anne bird is money-grubbing too, but at least it will be some new info.

I think that was just part of the contract and they did not know how awkward she would be.. she was like a deer in the headlights.

She could have written this book, it is in plain language ~ I think a ghost writer would have done a better job. It would take no time at all to throw this together 200 pages, large font LOL, photos and basically just relating what happened in a narrative, no bells and whistles and no great analysis or tangents.

I would be interested in this book.. Amber's sorry Cass, I don't care much for Amber either..!! She just strikes me wrong. Granted she did her part in bringing that animal SP to justice. I still wouldn't trust her for one minute..!!

As far as the SP parent's they did obstruct justice. I live not far from them. They are not on any A list here in San Diego.. !! They would have done anything to keep there baby Scott out of prison. Whoops it didn't work..!!

I HOPE SP ROTS IN HELL..!! I'M SURE THERE WILL MANY OTHER PETERSON FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WILL ADMIT SP WAS AS GUILTY AS HELL.. !!

When you get the book, don't tell us anything, other than if it's worth reading..

probably not..tough to prove and the DA has to want to spend the resources. it seems the county in which the trial was held had to pay out $700,000. and may have to lay people off because of it. another reason to despise this POS peterson. people are going to lose their jobs!

So because it's "hard to prove" they won't get tried and either convicted or cleared, but will have a verdict delivered based on heresay, rumour and tittle-tattle? That sounds unacceptable. Also, to additionally censure someone because their trial cost money is objectionable on several levels.

When Jackie was on the stand they used kid gloves ~ they did not want to make her a sympathetic figure to the Jury, so when she made a feeble excuse for slipping Scott the cash at the museum, the prosecution did not even cross examine her on it.

For those who did not follow the trial, this is what Jackie said.

She wanted to give her Son John 10K for a vehicle he was selling to Scott but she got mixed up and withdrew it out of the wrong bank account. She did not draw it out of her account - she drew it out of Scott's by mistake.

So she was only meeting him in the museum to give him cash to repay him for her mistake.

Jackie is a business woman familiar with banking, does anyone here believe that she 'got mixed up' and took 10thousand out of Scott's account? If so theres a bridge in NY I would like to sell you :p

Why not just deposit the money back into the account the same way it came out? Why not give Scott a check to deposit?

When questioned on the 'tip line' they (lee peterson) said they only were passing on serious tips to police and they did not find those particular tips on Scott ~ serious. They had no idea that they it was actually a police detective that left the tip and it was a legitimate one that was called into the police line. The Peterson's burried it.

they won't be tried unless the DA decides to bring charges. and they have to feel they will win a conviction. oftentimes money does play a role in that decision. i don't censure scott for the cost of his trial, it was worth the money to get what i consider a correct verdict. however, if he had taken a plea the money would not have been spent and he wouldn't be looking at death row. another mis-step by geragos. of course you are entitled to your opinion on the verdict, but if you read the trial transcripts you would see an excellent circumstantial case was made aside from the salacious stuff. and circumstantial evidence is GOOD evidence.

Paul, like Carla, I too live near the Petersons....in San Diego.

I feel very sorry for the Peterson's. Who wouldn't feel sorry for the parents! However, the Peterson were very mean to the murdered woman's family and that is the only way I can express it. Just downright mean!

Not wanting to judge them too much.......Scott's family seemed to have no feeling's at all for the parents and family of Laci Peterson. None at all! Laci's had a wonderful loving family whereas The Peterson's were or seemed calculating! When Laci's mom and Dad went to their dead daughters home to get some of her personal things the Peterson's wanted them arrested. It goes on and on!

A lot of us here were following this case from day one. I live in the town where Scott Peterson was arrested and only 10 minutes from where he was arrested. Torrey Pines Golf Course. He was fleeing to Mexico in a newly bought Mercedes......with camping equipment, clothing and with

$10,000 his mom had given him! He had a his brother's drivers license with him and his wife's body had been found!

It's one thing to stand behind your children.....it's another to

blatantly deny, deny, deny!

The new book out by Anne Bird.....will be very interesting to read.

She is one of the three children that Scott's mother adopted out when they were newly born. Scott was her only child born into a marriage.

He......was her prize!

Nuff said,

From the Publisher

The story no one else can tell

for the first time, the sister of Scott Peterson comes forward with her account of his marriage and her brother's disturbing behavior?and how she slowly realized that her brother was capable of murder. The most chilling inside look at Scott Peterson from the first family member to open a public window on the Peterson family.

Blood Brother includes dozens of headline-making revelations and contains previously unpublished photos, e-mails, and letters, including Scott's bizarre letters to Anne from prison.

Woohoo!!!

Doesn't look like it LC !!!!! I don't think Anne is very much like her mom.

Leak's Smeaks! I'm wondering if this book is really going to have any information we don't already know! I mean it! IF and I say IF...this book really is tell's it like it was, is, then it'll outsell Amber's book by millions!

The most interesting thing is why or why didn't the State have Anne testify.

Maybe Geragos would say all was hearsay.....? Remember all those people saying how wonderful Scott was.....what a gentleman etc. ( I want to throw up here).......I think at the beginning maybe Anne didn't think he had done it....then after the episode with her baby sitter she started figuring him out. Also important is that I'm sure now that she and her 'late found' mother wasn't all she expected! I say again 'IF'......Anne makes any reference to 'mama'.....there could be a libel suit! Very touchy subject.....so think Anne may stick to

just talking about Scott.

I have to say.....I'm dying to read the book after her publisher's announced that in the book "she reveals, in shocking and riveting detail, the untold story of Scott, Laci, and the Peterson family"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA do we believe that??????? I want it to be TRUE!

DA, DA.... I think our equivalent is the CPS, a group who seem to produce some highly odd decisions from time to time (e.g. "woman prosecuted for holding apple whilst driving".

lady cop wrote: oftentimes money does play a role in that decision. i don't censure scott for the cost of his trial, it was worth the money to get what i consider a correct verdict. however, if he had taken a plea the money would not have been spent and he wouldn't be looking at death row. another mis-step by geragos.

His lawyer? I assume that he thought they had some sort of chance of getting off.

The money has been spent, and will presumably come back into the system in one way or another....

Maybe our definitions differ. I have no opinion on the verdict in this case, as I know next to nothing about the case.

kmhowe72 · Post by **kmhowe72** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 11:40 am

:-6 I don't think this book proves anything. Why you ask, I'll explain why??

For one thing the police said there was no evidence that their was a drowning involed. So how could Laci drown. For got sakes why would she be swimming in the pool in the morning with half her clothes on.

It said in the book that Scott was growing his goaty way before the bodies were found. And my hair as died orange a couple of times in the pool.

And if he said to his that the police were looking in the wrong place, well there you go. He didn't up and leave as soon as the first body was found. he waited.

I think this women just wanted to get back at Jacky Peterson, maybe she needs to see a theripist about that. Because even if she did have so called proof, why not write in a dairy. None of these reason is profound evidence of his guilt. Not like confession, or something she may have found. But she was jeoulous of the so called golden boy, and now that he's away she probably thought she be mommy's golden girl. I don't know if Scott Peterson is guilty or not. But he lied about an extra marital affair. Maybe he didn't want to face his pain of losing Laci , and needed the comfort of amber Frye who knows it doesn't meant he killed her.

Last night I watched her on greta and she said that Scott told her January he lost his family 18 months ago from that point. Maybe it meant he knew that conor and Laci weren't coming home for go. And really did lose his family. The women said 16 months but it really was 21 months in January not 18 or 16, she can even get the days right.

I think it was good the Lee Peterson told her that she wasn't welecome. I would have a hard time with that if one sibling did that to another. I mean if was my kids well then I would handle it different. But of corse my children don't starve for effection, that they would use something like that against another sibling. That's total betrayl. Maybe he guilty. But if he was ever proven not to be guilty Anne Bird will have alot of apoligizing to do. I am surprise Lee to did call the talk show when she was there and puplically reem her out. Like he did Nancy Grace that time.

:-5 Well I just saw Anne Bird on with Anderson Copper and there she was with her personal talking head Gloria Allred. They had her on for only aboit five minutes. I think she impressed anyone. I wrote Gloria Allred once hoping she could help me, but she rufused. I think it's because I don't live in CA. and I don't have the money. I used like her, but if I hear say this will be the first holidays with out her or seen that wolfy smile. I think I am going to get sick. It seem everytime I turn on a news channel there she is. Also Anee Bird , I have seen her on Dateline, anderson Cooper, greta, and I know she was on Oprea. Maybe she has been on otheres. Anyway any one now anymore scott Peterson Books. Maybe Jacky will now write won to courteract hers.

The battle of the books, so interesting.
