Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I can't understand how the prosecution could lose this one!! Man, if this turns out as bad as the OJ trial, I can't imagine the outrage (and perhaps a riot?)that will follow.....
A riot?:D Who would be rioting against who? Since the case is a circumstantial case, there is always a possibilty that the defense can show reasonable doubt.

I think that you are right but after having spent six weeks on a murder trial myself for the death of a pregnant woman also I know that you can not make a fair judgement unless you are in the courtroom everyday for the entire trial. There is so much not shown or reported in the news that we can't possibly make a fair call.

I don't know about you all, but it looks like the prosecution team on the Scott Peterson case, learned their strategy and tatcits from the OJ Simpson prosecution team.

I predict Scott will be 'scott-free' soon, regardless of all the evidence against him.


What say you?
Exactly! Judging from Court TV which runs a lot at my house while I do other things, the prosecution is bungling this trial and they don't have anything solid in they way of physical evidence. A hair wound around a pair of needle nose pliers, some evidence that he made several anchors in his storage facility at work and that's about it. His behavior is what condemns him the most. The day she went missing he did some really odd things - questioning cops about bringing in cadaver dogs-using the past tense when he talked about her, etc. Then, in early January, she went missing Dec 23 or 24th, so within two weeks he had thrown their wedding album in the trash, started moving boxes of storage items into the babies room, and so on and so on. Not like someone whose wife is missing, but someone who knows she isn't coming back. He sold her car, he began boxing up her clothes, and on and on. His conversations with Amber Fry were pretty telling too. He just plain acted guilty.

If the prosecution doesn't get it together, he's liable to walk away, free as bird.

MOD ACTION....

With 3 threads all about this I merged them together to cut down on confusion. I hope that this won't be a problem.

Yeah.

My topic was focused on the botched prosecution team aspect only.

But, whatever. It's your board. I'll submit to your decision. *throws up hands*

i actually care none at all for this case. it's just another local news story blown out of proportion. if his wife wasn't so photo-friendly, the level of care would be almost zero elsewheres in the country.

Yet, you take the time to click on this thread and post this. :scratch:
