Peterson Taped Conversations Don't Show Much
Newsweek is reporting that the taped conversations between Amber Frey and Scott Peterson don't show much. And <a href=" Fox40 KTXL reports:
Police wiretap recordings allegedly show Peterson was cool and charming, told Amber he loved her, and then got down to business, asking if she would hand over potentially damaging photos of the two taken at a Fresno-area Christmas party before they became public.
But according to people who have heard the intercepts, they reveal little more than Peterson's obsession with the potentially embarrassing photos.
And defense attorney Jeralyn Merritt says she doubts calling Amber to the witness stand will help much either.
Jeralyn Merritt says, "Even if there was love chat where he says to her I was going to leave my wife and marry you, it's a far cry from murder and an even further cry from murdering his unborn child."
Gloria Allred says, "I think that if the prosecution chooses to call her, that means they think she has something to contribute to the case and they'll decide how it is relevant and what it bears upon."
Actually, we liked another of our comments on that show better. When asked if Amber was important to convicting Scott, we said, "If this were a menu, Amber would be a side dish."
As much as Amber and her lawyer would like to portray her as a victim of this crime she is not. She may have been victimized by Scott Peterson, but she is not a victim of the murder of Laci Peterson.
