Reply #6: Well - let's look at his demographics for a minute. [View All]

[TwentyFive]

Scott Peterson was
-white
-married
-from an upper middle class family
-didn't finish college
-Stanislaus County resident (went for Bush)
-drove an SUV
-worked in a conservative industry (chemical)
-belonged to a country club

Regardless of Scott Peterson's political views....we know for sure that Scott worked/lived/socialized in a very CONSERVATIVE climate.

Perhaps all that family values talk made Scott feel angry at himself for not being strong enough to avoid all his affairs....and perhaps he feared divorcing Laci would ruin him socially and financially....since all those conservatives would turn their back on him.

I'd say conservatism did have a role in Scott Peterson thinking the easiest way out....was to make Laci quietly disappear.
