FANTASTIC!! I knew he did it!! I think that he killed that other woman too.

I'm from NC (not far from Raleigh/Durham) - I was so afraid that the verdict would be NG as we have been hearing (locally) that the DA did not prove reasonalble doubt.

I do feel sorry for Liz Ratliff's girls, though but I do feel that in this case, lightning did strike twice!

I am so glad he was found guilty. I have been following this case on court tv from the beginning and I have to admit I was a little nervous when they went for all or nothing, 1st degree murder.

I absolutely loved it that they disproved Dr. Henri Lee's testimony that the blood in the stairway could have come from Mrs. Peterson "coughing up" blood!!!! That just proved he was testifying solely for the purpose of $$$ and would say anything that side wanted him to say - or paid him to say. I certainly hope if he comes up with some half-baked theory in the Laci Peterson case, he will be shot down just as effectively!!!!

I didn't know about the Henry Lee testimony--that's interesting. He has the reputation of being above that sort of thing, and yet I notice he's always available to any defense team as an expert witness for the right money. This just sort of proves that, since he should have (and no doubt did) know better! I hope he doesn't pull that sort of thing in the Scott Peterson case. It confuses jurors and could easily affect the verdict! It's shameful, IMO. :mad:

patsy

Henery Lee said during this trial that he MIGHT be testifing in the Scott Peterson trial. Does this mean MG isn't sure if Henry Lee will help the defense with his testimony, or the prosecution?

So interesting to see another such grisly true story about a family named Peterson.

Watch out Scott,your turn next!!

I was so happy when I heard this news. I think they had a lot less on on this Peterson than Scott and a lot of similarities. Michael Peterson had online conversations, but no proof of actual affair (like Scott Peterson). They both had insurance policies on the wives. But Michael Peterson wasn't as dumb as Scott to say those ridiculous, transparent lies on national television time and time again. I can't wait for Scott's trial. I am so curious what the police have and what ridiculousness the defense will come up with.

THANK GOODNESS.....JUSTICE WAS SERVED....


WUDGE---did you hear the verdict? ;)

[jlock]

I believe that Dr. Henri Lee lost all credibility after the O J Simpson trial

Thanks for the update; haven't had TV on all day. And, yes, I believe he killed his other wife, too.

[tylin]

Poco,
you siggy line is really something.

I'm so thankful the jury used common sense. Fingers crossed that the jury for the next Peterson case can do the same!

Justice was done today for Kathleen. May we have justice for Laci sooner than later. IMO

Dr. Lee USED to be above reproach concerning $$$$$$.....but things have changed....OR have become visible? I no longer value his opinion.

His "defenses" of MP were pathetic.

JUSTICE WAS DEFINITELY SERVED! What a relief!

John Douglas and Henry Lee are both following the money. Douglas sells his expert opinion for whoever buys it; he took Lee's lead.

And, I agree that Lee lost all crediblity at the Simpson trial. I'll NEVER forget what he said to Marsha Clark etal in the hallway: "see, I give a little to you and a little to them. It all works out."

I'm stunned that Peterson was found guilty. The prosecutor had the guts to take this on. I owe the guy an apology, I figured that he'd have lost this case due to the over charge.

[chiperoni]

river you are incredible. I love your posts.

[Silver Dollar]

Whoope! One down and two to go. Elizabeth and George need justice too.

One link on this site does not work; titled "Through the gate". Just click on the others instead.
His lifestyle has changed overnight, plus he will have to work. Can you see him actually working? This time, he has no choice.


"Hey, Inmate Peterson, remop that hall, you missed a spot!"

I agree. I think Lee has become somewhat of a trial whore.

[tthoman]

TALL COOL ONE: Well put!

RIVER: I did not know Lee had said that to Marsha. That's disgusting.

[Granny Magic]

Thank goodness!

Heard rather than watched most of this.

It seemed laughable that that amount of blood would have saturated the area it did from a "fall". Looks like the jury had common sense.

I couldn't watch the convicted murderer. He creeped me out. Not only the murder, but the dyed hair, that "look" on his face during trial.

Just desserts.

Elizabeth Ratliff, was not Michael Peterson's wife. She was a family friend. I believe he killed her because he was obsessed with her. Once her husband had died and she was a widow I think Peterson thought she would come running into his arms and that didn't happen. I believe he tried something with her the night she died and she totally rejected him so he killed her. Kathleen Peterson looked so much like Liz Ratliff and absolutely NOTHING like Peterson's first wife that I really think he was trying to replace Liz with Kathleen. I think the night she died she too rejected him by telling him she had found out about his little bi sexual trists. She told him to pack his bags and get a job because she wasn't supporting his lying ass anymore. I think that is when he attacked her.

That's exactly how I see it also.......did you read the articles on the links I gave in the other thread? After you access the link (if it's still viable) you are able to read the other articles on the front pages which reveal more...He had a HAIR-TRIGGER temper.
