Judge Delucchi, who presides over the Scott Peterson case, announced that he would give the jury the option to convict on a lesser, second-degree murder charge. As opposed a first-degree murder conviction which carries the death penalty sentence, second-degree murder convictions carry a 15-year sentence. Do you think the judge did this because he feels Scott is guilty, and doesn't want a hung jury? In my opinion, a 15-year sentence could be as bad or worse than a death penalty sentence because the treatment he would most likely receive from other inmates wouldn't be so kind… I know Court TV has updates during the day on this trial, but I'm usually at work so I don't really get a chance to catch them. I did hear though that they're giving their anchor, Catherine Crier, two timeslots (5pm-6pm & 8pm-9pm) to talk about that day's events during closings which start 11/1. Hopefully we'll see justice served! Kimberly |

Kiyoung80, hi and welcome to Sew Whats New. I have not been able to keep up with the latest news on this case. I believe that the judge is indeed looking ahead to a hung jury. If it weren't for the U.S. election this would have been huge news. Hopefully, he will be convicted, but wait and see. Such little evidence and yet it is so obvious to so many. MaryW

Wow! They really did it! I felt that they gave a perfect decision, especially in the case of the baby. It will be interesting to see if they can bring themselves to give him the death penalty. Considering how fast they came up with this once the foreman was dismissed, I wonder how long it will take in the later process.
