Convicted Murderer Scott Peterson Asking for Your Money
He’s the kind of guy no pregnant woman wants to meet in a back alley, and now Scott Peterson wants your money!
The father-to-be who killed his pregnant wife, Laci, says money from the state of California won’t be enough to cover his attempt to appeal his murder conviction. So his family is asking for donations on their Website.
Will you be sending some cash? Yeah, me neither. Murder is an inexcusable crime in and of itself, but there is something ultra creepy about a guy who kills his pregnant wife so he can run off to live the high life with his girlfriend.
But I think the real reason I hold Scott Peterson in such low esteem is the timing of his trial: right in the days and weeks after I learned I was pregnant with my own daughter back in 2004. As happy as I was to (finally) be with child, I was pretty miserable . . . and my own husband was there for every trip to the emergency room and changie-out of puke buckets.
Which is in direct opposition to the stories that came out about Scott Peterson. While his wife was pregnant, he was having an affair and plotting her murder. Kind of blows that whole “women are at their most irresistible while pregnant” theory out the window, huh?
Does the fact that he killed a pregnant woman make Peterson’s crimes seem more heinous? Would you put up cash to help his defense?

Leila commented on Jul 22 09 at 1:00 pmAbsolutely, it’s more heinous because he killed two people at the same time, and the people he was supposed to protect the most. I feel bad for Scott’s parents because they seem like nice people, but Scott is just a psychopath who doesn’t deserve any sympathy.
Maureen commented on Jul 22 09 at 1:45 pmLaci Peterson disappeared 1 day after I gave birth to my first child. I remember watching all the coverage… praying for her safe return. I think it’s disgusting that he is asking for money.
Brett Singer commented on Jul 22 09 at 2:33 pmI had forgotten about him completely. Amazing that his family is asking for money. I wonder if anyone will donate.
Marj commented on Jul 22 09 at 2:52 pmI think it’s gruesome that a convicted murderer is asking for donations.
Knitty commented on Jul 22 09 at 3:48 pmI don’t know about you ladies, but I’m totally heading over towards my checkbook as soon as I finish this post.
