There request or demand as you put it I call reasonable
In fact I beleive is should be the parents or closest next of kin that determines the penalty and not a jury in such cases.
Oh, so you believe a well rehearsed speech, complete with theatrics like gasping for breath and a total breakdown, should be allowed to influence a jury in detrement to the actual facts of a case??? That's crazy (not you, you're OK, just that concept.)
Now they're saying her life was in danger- what a crock of PR crap. From the time she started recording phone calls until Scott Peterson's arrest she was under police survellience and, in fact, Scott Peterson was never within twenty miles of her.
This whole thing has been ugly, all the way PAST the penalty phase of the trial to the book deals and Oprah appearance.
