Scott Peterson was sentenced to death today for the murder of his wife and second degree murder of their unborn son, Conner. Conner, who was heralded during the trial by mourners as someone who will be missed, never did get to see what life was all about... but apparently was valued just a smidge below his mother. While the lab results are not yet in, my guess is that this is because babies can be really cute sometimes. That or the local townsfolk of Redwood City really connected with Conner at a deep emotional level while he was still gestating. In case you didn't follow the case, Scott/Laci/Conner were from Modesto... so Redwood City can shove it up their collective ass. Anyway, this photo.

Crowds gathered around the courthouse today, and cheers went up as the death sentence was read. As you can see in this photo, some people understand that the reason murder is bad is because killing is bad; ergo, murdering murderers is not exactly a happy dealing of justice and closure.

However, there is this woman. I don't know her name, I don't know anything about her, all I know is that while everyone else is mourning the entire situation that leaves 2 (and for some of them 3) people dead... this woman is literally shaking her fists with glee. "Yay, death!" she may have cried... or perhaps "Chalk another one up for the killing state!"... though in reality she most likely was cheering something along the lines of how justice is somehow dealt to Scott better when he's dead than when he's bent over and being made 'pretty' by 37 different men all coincidentally named Bubba. Why is this woman cheering the death of someone she's never met? Because she *knows* that he is a murderer. Why's that? What evidence showed her that? NONE since this case was entirely circumstantial. That's right, in case you didn't follow the trial... there was never any evidence directly linked to Scott. In the end this call was made on "eh who else could have done it" and so they kill the "double murderer". How a total stranger can cheer for someone else's death based on an opinion that has literally no factual or evidential basis?

One word: Nutcase.
