Scott Peterson’s conviction for the murder of his wife Laci can be used as evidence that he murdered his wife Laci, says Fresno’s Fifth District Court of Appeals. California law prohibits murderers from collecting the life insurance of their victims, but Scotty’s attorneys argued that since his conviction is on appeal, it shouldn’t affect his eligibility. The judges called shenanigans and upheld a lower court’s ruling that the $250,000 in life insurance proceeds should go to Laci’s mom.
The court also pointed out that Scott’s attorneys didn’t offer a shred of evidence indicating Scott is innocent and thus qualified to receive the money. Incidentally, I recall that awhile back Scott’s mom offered $250,000 to anyone who could exonerate her angel. Moms are so resourceful. I bet she knows lots of ways to use vinegar for household chores, too.

In court, Braddy was wearing an electric shock device and knee brace and was surrounded by “extra police officers, all measures taken after Braddy escaped from the courthouse in 1984 when he choked a Miami-Dade County corrections officer.”
I found this article in a scanned vintage newspaper, it was part of a syndicated feature called “Chronology of the Year”, a veritable orgy of death statistics published in the U.S. at the end of 1901. It seems there were 131 recorded lynchings in the United States that year. We can be confident in the accuracy of that number, I surmise, because lynchings were so carefully documented by unbiased journalists and local law enforcement officials. It certainly puts one’s mind at ease to learn that only nine of the year’s 131 lynchings were motivated by racial prejudice. The remaining 122 executions were justified with various reasons including a lynching for forcing a white boy to commit a crime. “I swear, ma! The negro made me do it!”
