I was thinking along the same lines as elaine; perhaps it was an afterthought, and maybe he did not take into his consciousness that he was infact, killing his son along with her. Hard to say, one way or the other.
But none of us can climb inside his mind, and know what he was really thinking.
Kwillia, you're right. It's awful dayumed strange that a first-time father-to-be could be so cold concerning the heath and welfare of his unborn son.
That's just so out there, and maybe, just maybe it gives us some insight to what this guy is truly like on the inside.

I understand that the way the case was presented was that Scott supposedly wanted to kill Laci, but Conner was and has to be included in the act and the thought process. After all, Laci and Conner were inseparable. The planning and intent to murder one was in fact a plan to murder two. There is no way of getting around it.
Maybe his true intent was to kill the child to avoid any lengthy financial responsibility for the child. If this were the case, would it then have been second degree murder for the crime against Laci and first degree murder for the crime against Conner?

She was the 'real time' burden. She was in the way 'now'. The baby was secondary because it wasn't here yet. It would soon be an interference, but I fully believe he had emotionally disassociated himself from the baby and didn't consider it to be his son because it hadn't been born yet. I believe 1st degree for the baby would of been justifiable as well, but I'm thinking the jury didn't see any direct violence inflicted on the fetus, therefore, they picked 2nd degree.

I'll buy that arguement for two reasons:kwillia said:
During the time that led up to the trial, Scott Peterson did not display any interest about his unborn son; it was all a show, the running around from city to city, putting up posters inquiring about the whereabouts of his wife. All the time he was in public, he never once, that I can recall, said anything to the media: "Hey, I've got a SON out there somewhere, and I need to find my wife and OUR unborn child.
If you noticed, in the courtroom he displayed very little emotion for either his wifes' demise, nor did did he show any emotion of what it meant to him that his child had been born as she was leaving this world. If I recall correctly, even his attorney Geragos, never raised the issue of Scotts' son.
Kwillia makes a great point here, that the welfare of his unborn child was secondary; Laci was the primary issue to be dealt with.
I understand what you say. I just don’t buy it and I don’t understand the verdict, but hey that’s me. Maybe it was how the prosecution concentrated on the killing of Laci as being primary and the loss of the child as being incidental to that act. I simply think that the conviction for the murder of the child should have been of the same degree.
As I understood the case it was presented that the motive was Scott wanted to be able to return to an unencumbered lifestyle. He didn’t want any continued attachment to either and it seems financially bound. He didn’t want to give up half of what he had and he didn’t want to pay for the kid for whatever duration a divorce would have garnered. He was bent on the elimination of the complete package and as such murdered both of them in a premeditative manner.

It could very well be as you say. I wonder how the case would have proceeded if Scott Peterson was defending himself? How much influence did Mark Geragos have to exert on Peterson to go forward in the manner they did?Ken King said:
Another thing I'm curious about; I know that Attorney-Client privilege
is a private matter, but what did Geragos believe about his client?
Just as important, what did Geragos know? Did he know his client was guilty?
Wasn't there a case in Southern California, a few years back where a man kidnapped a little girl, molested and killed her, and just before the trial began, the attorney for the accused tried to cut a deal with the police, if this client led them to the burial site?
This attorney knew his client was guilty, guilty of murder, and yet defended him using bogus scenarios in order to obtain a not guilty verdict.
So, I ask again, how much did Geragos know?
