Scott Peterson Trial Transcripts Certified, Lengthy Appeals Will Begin


Redwood City, CA (LifeNews.com) -- The transcript of the proceedings in the Scott Peterson double murder trial has been certified as accurate. That action finalizes the court battle that resulted in his double murder conviction in the deaths of Laci and Conner Peterson and paves the way for the first round of appeals that are expected to take years to complete. A hearing on Friday to certify the documents was the last action in the case. Now those involved are preparing themselves for the next stage, knowing the conviction was not the end. "For us, I don't know that it's ever going to feel done," former prosecutor Birgit Fladager told the San Francisco Chronicle. Laci Peterson's mother, Sharon Rocha, attended Friday's hearing with longtime companion Ron Grantski. However, neither Scott Peterson nor his lead defense attorney Mark Geragos were present. "We thought we'd just come along and see what happens," Rocha told The Chronicle. "When we were coming off the freeway, I was feeling a little emotional, but I'm fine now." Scott Peterson was accused of murdering Laci Peterson on Christmas Eve 2002 and dumping her body in San Francisco Bay, which also resulted in the death of eight-month old unborn baby Conner. Peterson sits on death row after having been convicted of the double murder. His legal team is working on appeal of the conviction and sentence, but Scott's family is hoping to up the ante to free him. Read the complete story.

Scott Peterson is guilty of killing his wife and child. I am praying that he gets what he deserves in accordance with God's will. I am also praying for the salvation of his soul.
