I don't mean to get flamed for this I just got to thinking. How could they charge him with 2 counts of murder? If they charge him with the unborn's death should'nt they charge all the abortion doctors also? Technicly its the same thing ain't it?

However, the pro-abortion people don't want logic and consistent reasoning brought into this.  It would expose the Truth, and we can't have that, can we?

It doesn't make any difference cause he'll walk. Just like OJ did.

I don't know; this guy isn't loaded like OJ.  He might not be able to buy an acquittal.

Actually, I heard about several pro-abortion groups that were actively campaigning against the double murder charge.

Maybe because Laci didn't choose to abort the child. She had no choice in the child's death.
That's about the only thing I can see the prosecution using.

Because 1 life/death sentence for murder is just as good as 2

Ladies and Germs, I present California Penal Code Section 187:

[b]"187.  (a) Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a
fetus, with malice aforethought.
  (b) This section shall not apply to any person who commits an act
that results in the death of a fetus if any of the following apply:
  (1) The act complied with the Therapeutic Abortion Act, Article 2
(commencing with Section 123400) of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of Division
106 of the Health and Safety Code.
  (2) The act was committed by a holder of a physician's and surgeon'
s certificate, as defined in the Business and Professions Code, in a
case where, to a medical certainty, the result of childbirth would be
death of the mother of the fetus or where her death from childbirth,
although not medically certain, would be substantially certain or
more likely than not.
  (3) The act was solicited, aided, abetted, or consented to by the
mother of the fetus.
  (c) Subdivision (b) shall not be construed to prohibit the
prosecution of any person under any other provision of law."[/b]

A fetus is not considered to be a full-fledged human being, but killing one is murder except under the narrow circumstances under which elective medical abortions are permitted.

I hope that clarifies things for you THOF.

I’m under the impression that in California, one plain old murder can only get you life imprisonment.

A second one can get you the gas chamber!!

That’s my recollection, anyway.

A single murder in the first degree can get you the DP in Cali.

See [url]http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=187-199[/url] - Particularly Section 189 for what consititutes first degree murder.

And we no longer use the gas chamber.  Execution is now by lethal injection or old age.

OJ had the "Dream Team" of attorneys, Peterson has a Public Defender:

For Peterson (no flame to you Rainman)

You have the right to remain silent, SO SHUT THE FUCK-UP!

If you want an attorney but can't afford one, we'll get the DUMBEST MUTHER-FUCKER WE CAN FIND FOR YA!

The 2nd murder charge is for a baby that could have survived without intensive care outside the womb.

Terry Nichols just got two charges added to his Oklahoma trial for the same thing.
