Judge Imposes Death Penalty for PetersonNow, with the exception of several appeal attempts, he's a goner.REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — A California judge Wednesday finalized the death sentence for Scott Peterson, telling the convicted double-murderer his actions were "callous and cruel."
Earlier, Judge Alfred A. Delucchi denied a defense request for a new trial.
Wearing a black suit and waist shackles, Peterson entered the courtroom around 9 a.m. PST. His parents and the family of his wife Laci Peterson were present for the hearing.
Laci Peterson's father said Judge Delucchi's decision gave him a sense of closure.
"Our family is going to make it. We are stronger because of this and Scott got what he deserved," Ron Grantski told the press after the hearing.

Comments on Adios Scott
They say he'll have another 20 years at San Quentin at this rate (The CA average for appeals)

They just live in their nice private cells until finally succumbing to old age. Now if this was Texas Scott would have about five years until they warmed up "Old Sparky" for him.

If you read this post of mine

You'll see I'm heavily in favor of the DP.
I just don't know if I could have done it for Peterson.
Plead innocence (IMO important: if you plead guilty, they should expedite the death sentence)
No eyewitness
No forensic evidence that didn't have an explanation
Primarily a circumstantial evidence case.
I just couldn't put a person to death without more proof.

Interesting thing, though, in this case I don't have too many qualms about it, the dude's a sociopath.
