My take on the Peterson case an verdict
I sit aside everything that was said at the trial other than the fact that his wife washed up at a location just a few miles from where he put himself. The reason I sit aside everything else that was said at the trial is because I think all of it proves nothing more than the man is a liar...and an adulterer.
The fact that his wife washed up a few miles from where he put himself...makes me think that he killed his wife...but I do not think that because I think that he killed his wife that the prosecution has presented a case that raises to the level that the law requires..."beyond a reasonable doubt". Thus I would vote to aquit.
I suspect that this new jury is going to vote guilty as they brought in a verdict within a few hours. I will not be surprised if they even vote for 1st degree murder.
I personally do not think that (assuming that he killed his wife) he is guilty of either 1st degree or 2nd degree murder...but instead manslaughter. In other words...some type of confrontation took place and he accidently killed her.
