In the first phase, known as the guilt phase, the jury deliberated 44 hours after the replacement of the last alternate.

In the punishment phase the jury took 11 1/2 hours to decide that Peterson should pay with his own life for the murder of his wife. In the death of Conner Peterson, the jury could not consider the death penalty due to the fact that they found Peterson guilty of 2nd degree, which in California is not elegible for the death penalty.

Did Scott Peterson kill other people besides Lacy and Connor?

Though there was a lot of speculation at the time of his arrest, nothing has been proved and there may not have been too much of an investigation. A co-ed disappeared from the same campus where Peterson was a student. At this late date there is probably little evidence and I doubt Scott Peterson would admit it even if had did it.


Is Scott Peterson innocent?

In real life there are very few true coincidences. For the circumstantial evidence in the Peterson case to be random and/or pure chance is ridiculous. The odds are astromnomical in fact. Peterson is exactly where he deserves to be. In a criminal case, circumstantial evidence, especially when there is much of it, is just as damning as physical evidence. It is given great weight in the courtroom, as it should be. There is no mystery to the Peterson case. The only person that would have benefited from Lacy and Conner's deaths was Scott Peterson. He never wanted to be a father, and he never acted like a husband either. He was a ticking timebomb and Lacy's pregnancy was the catylist that detonated it.

Does Scott Petersons half sister still have a relationship with the Petersons?

Less than 2 years before the death of Laci and Conner Peterson, Scott Peterson found out that he had an older half brother and half sister, both children of Scott's mother Jackie Peterson, that had been put up for adoption many years before Jackie and Lee had ever met. The new relationships had barely had time to solidify when Laci disappeared. As things began to heat up for Scott, he took refuge in his newly found half sister's house, which happened to be almost exactly where Peterson dumped Laci's body. Ann Byrd and her husband made room in their home for Scott and tried to be supportive of her brother. But before long, Scott began to show his true colors, and Ann was left with a truly horrible situation. Scott was making it very hard for his sister to support him, as he flirted with their attractive young babysitter, serving up 'flirtini's, while hundreds of volunteers were still out looking for his pregnant wife. Finally, things became strained between Ann and her husband, and eventually Scott found other places of refuge. But the real trouble was with Jackie and Ann. At the penalty phase of Peterson's trial, Jackie insisted Ann testify in court as to her brother's sterling behaviour. Ann felt certain that Scott was guilty and refused Jackie's request to testify. Jackie pitched a fit but Ann would not budge. It was too large of a rift for such a new relationship and eventually things fell apart between Ann and the Peterson's. The situation has not improved much, with both women in their respective corners. I would think it highly unlikely Jackie would ever apoligize. So at last account, the mother-daughter bonding was on hold indefinately.
