Convicted Murderer Scott Peterson Has a Blog
Remember the name Scott Peterson? He was the California man found guilty of murdering his wife, Laci Peterson, who was 8-months pregnant with their child. In 2005 he was sentenced to death by lethal injection, but as of yet, he remains on death row in San Quentin State Prison. Yet somehow this convicted criminal has managed to set himself up a blog.
Peterson does not have access to the internet from inside his prison cell. Rather, he's had some help from the outside. An organization known as Canadians Against the Death Penalty have provided the blog for him in hopes that it will eventually change the law for the death penalty.
Peterson's blog features photos of himself and his wife Laci, both smiling. It also links visitors to his family's support site, and other resources with information about his case.
Prisoners are not permitted to have direct computer access, as officials say that could allow them the opportunity to threaten witnesses or orchestrate further crimes. However, like anything, there are ways around this. Supporters and verious commercial services have helped many of the state's 673 condemned inmates make the connection to the web. Many of the inmates have pen-pal postings and personalized web pages with their writings, artwork, and photos of themselves. Many of these sites also include declarations of innocense and pleas for friendship and money.
Some of the inmates use sites in the United States, but so far the biggest provider is the non-profit Canadian Coalition Against the Death Penalty, which has created web pages or pen-pal ads for more than 100 California death row inmates. Their service is absolutely free.
Civil libertarians applaud this kind of activity as the exercise of free speech by isolated people, however, not everyone is so accepting. Victims' rights activists have labeled it an unneccessary affront to the loved ones of those whose suffering led society to lock them up in the first place.
But with prisoners having mail privleges, it is nearly impossible to stop things from going out. And once mailed out of the prison, anyone on the outside could post the information on their behalf.

It's truly unfortunate that the residents of California have to feed Scott Peterson with their hard earned tax dollars. Rot away Scott!
Anyone who thinks this idiot is innocent or wants to help him needs help thmeselves.
I Dont know why all this sudden fuss and news of this? Scott peterson has had a blog up for atleast 3 years now!
Cmon Media reporters do you know your research?
: )
Scott,
I was just wondering what your relationship with Jesus is right now. Do you pray or read your Bible? Have you asked for forgiveness?
Too much hoopla for this lying killer. Just like OJ, the only difference is OJ walked free where as this idiot will die in prison. Rot Scott, when you stand before your creator you can not lie to him. Be prepared for the worst for what God can do to you mankind can't. You can lie but can not hide!
I think that the Death Penalty should be overturned. I think it is barbaric practice! No more or less barbaric than the crimes that these murderers commit. The only reason that these people are put to death is because Humankind's lust for vengance and nothing more. In summery, in light of this, I think that Death Row Imates have the right to communicate thier case either directly or indirectly to the public to plead their case. Killing murders dose not solve anything period!!!
Oh contrare. I have an idea . . . . ., lets take all the people that believe in the death penalty and exempt them from paying taxes that support cold blooded killers and let's get all you bleeding heart liberals who don't believe in the death penalty to support their pathetic lives! Better yet . . . , why don't you let the likes of Scott Peterson into your home under house arrest and you feed him, cloth him, provide shelter and entertainment for him. Whats the matter with you?
Yes, it is truly the lust for vengeance. Until you face a loved being murdered, raped, brutalized--- you have no say. Its easy for you to sit there and say- please dont kill these animals. Well, even the animal world thins those that arent right. Until you opt to pay for the incarceration for life of each one of these murdering dogs, shut up.
I bet your pro-choice aren't you?
The death penalty is like letting them off - to rest. Put him in an old mine shaft if the tax dollars are too much but don't execute the cretin.
Put bars at the top of the shaft and dangle some delicious delicacies with mouth watering aromas just short of his mits.
I am on Laci's families side. I actually tried sign her guest book today, but found out the family had to close it due to the disrespect of some guests. Will this family ever find peace. I hope Scott Peterson is miserable and only has time to think about what he did to his wife and child, not to mention everyone that knew and loved them. He is a piece of shit
I am also against the death penalty. It is just state sanctioned murder. As for Scott Peterson.......the case against him.....oh, there was NO CASE. He was convicted by the media. Just like back in the 1960's in Cleveland; Dr. Sam Shephard.
PETERSON UR AN ASSWHOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 4 KILLING UR WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD FUKIN LOSER UR DUMB 4 PIKIN DIS SKINNY BITCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAS IT WORTH IT?????/>< DUMB SHIT =))
Hey, Scotty...we have a tee time tomorrow at...oh, that's right, my bad -- I forgot that yur in jail for the rest of your life...oh well, I guess we'll have to play, have a few beers and a nice juicy steak afterward without you...
What this depraved maniac killer has decided to do with his free publicity, is to promote the insane notion that he has God's permission to exist. He said on aforementioned "blog," that he was, and I quote, "irritated" about something.
This thing, Scott Peterson, is not human. He is, in fact, a Satanic demon in a human body.
Why are these monsters permitted privileges and liberties that many hard-working people cannot even afford? Internet, 5 hour a day gym privileges so this monster can shape his physical appearance to attract women Satanic Slaves who are attracted to his depraved unquenchable thirst to get his malignant narcissistic needs met?
The whole system is suffering for the following reason:
TOLERANCE OF EVIL IS EVIL.
This creeps in us, first, as tolerance of weakness in ourselves. Stay alert. Watch your yourself. Those who do not decieve themselves cannot be decieved by others.
It doesn't matter how much sympathy Scott Peterson gets. He killed his wife - everyone knows it. The evidence is irrefutable tho his mother will spend her last breath trying to save him. I don't hope that he gets the death penalty which is a big waste of our courts' time, although when I hear about serial and mass murderers I pause. Peterson wasn't a serial murderer tho he IS despicable.
If he truly commited this crime than he deserves his punishment.
And you want everyone to listen to him plead his case? How many Americans (and others) would believe his lies? How many people have you met that are gullible.. Don't you think that there are enough stupid people in the world to let him walk??
They should drown him like his wife and baby..
What about their unborn child???
Who didn't have a chance to live, to make decisions?
Think about that
Death by hanging should be the way to execute!
who are we to kill human life god put us here and he know when to take us out but then again we cant have this criminal people in this world. We put them to jail but soon jails well come over populated then what are we going do?
its sad but yes they should be sentence to death by lethal injection.
You People have a Cold Heart for People Convicted of Crimes. What IF One of Your Family members got caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time, are you going to condemn them like you do this person? you people need to get a life, because I HAVE A PEN PAL WEBSITE that helps prisoners make friends with people in the community, so all this crap that someone on the outside needs help because they are helping someone that will be in prison for the rest of their life or die in prison for that matter, no it's YOU WHO NEEDS THE HELP! you guys are so cold hearted, that maybe someday YOU will get your day in court as well.
GET A LIFE!
Scott just got mad at Lacie and it was an accident. People fight, couples fight and argue and domestic violence is the main reason. So what do you think about Prince Charles and the Queen as people think she murdered Princess Diana just because she got pregnant by an Arab man.
Scoty took two lives. He is incapable of ever feelingh remorse for his actions..no criminal ever does and that is precisely why scott killed his wife and child, this is also why criminals kill....and. if they are ever released others would fall victim to this narssossistic h uman beings(yes they are still Human) that is what makes their choices so appalling and incredibly outrages. Capital death row i think was design for the sole purpose of making space for other killers. The jails would ran out of space otherwise and then where would you placed killers like Jeffry Dummer. It would be terrible to have no space in prison for people like that! So in conclusion if death row exists is for a good reason thats why it exists ..to serve a vital purpose which would be to prevent more killilngs from proven criminals.
