Are You Kidding Me?!

Convicted murderer Scott Peterson and his family are asking for donations in order to accumulate $95,000 towards the appeal of his conviction. He's sitting on death row in San Quentin State Penitentiary in California.

Are you kidding me?!

I'm sure his family and friends believe in his innocence. But they are let's be real about what he's asking. He's asking for people's hard earned money in an effort to go free and beat a double murder change in which his wife and unborn son were victims. He and his family are asking for $5 to $50 donations saying that the financial burden is light if enough people come to his defense.

Are you kidding me?!

With all that's going on with the economy and the world being upside down, does he really think enough people are going to pony up to try and set him free? Whether he's guilty or not doesn't matter. The fact that he could be and probably is guilty is enough to keep me from reaching into my pocket and giving him so much as a penny towards his defense. I'm all for a fair trial and the opportunity for someone to exhaust all resources in trying to prove their innocence. It's the American way. But asking the American people to pony up for your defense when you've already been convicted of such an forgivable crime is an out right insult to my intelligence and to the intelligence of anyone who followed the story.

Scott Peterson, you and your family are on your own on this one. Not enough people believe in your innocence to generate $95,000 dollars towards your defense. I, for one, do not believe in your innocence and believe that the jury got this one 100% right. Due process is your right and you should exercise it. But keep the American people, who have better things to do with their money and their time, out of it. The Supreme Court is going to determine your fate once and for all and you will get the punishment that has been handed down to you. In this day and time America is waking up to the money that we waste everyday. If you think people are going to pool their resources for you, you are sadly mistaken. I think you know that. I understand because you are a desperate man at this point, and you have nothing to lose. But please understand that you have lost and no one, especially the American people, are going to save you. So understand that with every passing second you are closer to having to answer for what happened to your wife and unborn son.

I have to ask one more time. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Until next time, have a good one.
