On top of that, why would he be interested in raising Amber's child and not be interested in raising his own? Maybe it was his in-laws. From what I have seen of Sharon Rocha and her "companion," I wouldn't enjoy their company, at all. I never saw an honest emotion from Sharon Rocha, ever.
On the other hand, I can't think of any excuses for Peterson's behavior during the investigation. Why would he develop such elaborate lies for Amber's sake? Did he think that she wouldn't catch wind of a case that was getting national attention?
If he was innocent, wouldn't he want to simplify his life dramatically? Wouldn't he want to jettison all excess baggage ASAP? Sharon's "companion" confronted him about his having an affair before she was murdered, if my memory serves. He himself went fishing on the same day that Peterson went fishing. Is there a connection there? Why was Scott's going fishing so bizarre and "What's his Name's" going fishing so unremarkable.
I didn't see anyone involved in this case whom I felt any real sympathy for. Something tells me that Lacy was a victim of a pathetic systemic family problem that Scott must have come to the conclusion that he could no longer endure.

Even if Peterson's conviction is upheld, by the time all his appeals are exhausted, experts estimate that some eighteen to twenty-five years will have passed.
Its sad when our justice system had degraded to that level. There was absolute reasonable doubt in Peterson's case. No evidence. Can't be any more reasonable than that.

I'm sorry but circumstantial evidence is not enough to warrant execution in my opinion.
