If you read the VC, you probably don’t care about the Scott Peterson trial. It doesn’t raise any interesting legal issues, and worse, gets the uberannoying Nancy Grace on TV all the time. Still, it’s possibly worth noting that while some are suggesting that we may be heading towards an end of capital punishment in the United States, no one gave the memo to the jury in the Scott Peterson case. Of course, the judge can still reject the jury’s recommendation and sentence Peterson to life. And even if the judge agrees with the jury, most death penalty verdicts are overturned by appellate judges anyway. Still, worth noting.
