Mounting Evidence for Scott Peterson's Guilt
In the trial yesterday, officers presented testimony to how they knew Scott Peterson was the one. According to ABCNews.com,
the evidence is pretty conclusive:
Officer Derrick Letsinger said Monday that he didn't smell bleach and didn't notice any signs of a recent cleaning, he did say that he became skeptical after seeing a crumpled rug, dirty towels on the washing machine and a wet mop behind an otherwise "model home."
1. Dirty laundry on washing machine, other cleaning utensils near washing machine in a "model home." That's pretty damning stuff. But it gets worse:
Another officer, Matthew Spurlock, said there was something else that seemed suspicious: Peterson's alibi. Peterson told him he had been fishing alone on the bay the day his wife died, but could not say what he was trying to catch.
2. He didn't have a particular fish in mind when he went fishing. Everyone knows that an angler goes fishing for a specific type of fish each and every time he goes out. Anyone who says he's just going to catch what's biting is lying, and a potential murderer. Finally:
During his testimony, Letsinger said Peterson "threw his flashlight down on the ground," before mumbling a curse word. Spurlock testified he heard what appeared to be an expletive and that "it came through what sounded like gritted teeth."
3. Throwing a flashlight, cursing through gritted teeth.
Each tidbit is irrefutable, and when combined into a compelling narrative, we can see that Scott Peterson is
guilty. Who needs evidence? Let's burn him!
