Friday, October 24. 2008Scott's birthday... Today is Scott's Birthday, he is 36. Scott was only 30 when Laci and Conner were abducted. Today is a sad day for our family and Scott's supporters. It is sad that we can't celebrate Scott's birthday and it's sad that we can't celebrate with Laci and Conner on their birthdays. That is Scott's real loss. Conner would have been 5 this year. Conner was so real to us, we had seen his little face in the ultrasound pictures. All I can think about today is the injustice that's been done to my son. It is a real disservice to the memory of Laci and Conner. How could this happen? I look forward to when we can celebrate with Scott for all the birthdays he has missed. Scott's Mom Trackbacks

Dear Mrs. Peterson,
It happens because the justice system is broken. Look at the number of exonerations that are happening every day. How were innocent people convicted in the first place? That is the real question. I feel your son is innocent. Please try to hang in there. Cathy
Hi,
I have been a long-time advocate of Scott's innocence, after his conviction I lost all faith in our justice system. I was just talking today with a friend about the Peterson case, and it's appalling how few people realize that the evidence was 100% circumstantial, that not a shred of physical evidence was ever found. Happy Birthday Scott, you have many rational minded people on your side. This modern-day lynching is a shameful testament to the lack of progress in modern society, and to the complete failure of the "justice" system.
Happy Birthday dear Scott..may God help you prove your innocence..may God give you the strength to endure this injustice until you are fully exonerated..may God help you every step of the way and guide you to make the right decisions in your fight for justice for you, Laci and Conner..

Mrs. Peterson,
I remember the first of the two times we spoke, it must have been a year ago or more. I had just recently started to look into the facts regarding Scott's case and I knew something was wrong with this conviction. Although I was foolish to think that Scott would be trusting enough to forward my contact information to you, I still remember how wonderful and brave you were when you called me, as well as how I was honored that Scott could tell I wasn't some goof looking to write a book or sell a letter on EBAY. I have an Aunt who is one of my favorite people in the world, and she almost quit living, or at least participating , in life when my cousin, her daughter, died in an automobile accident. The courage, energy, and determination, that you have shown, in the middle of your personal health issues, stands alone in the strength of character I have ever witnessed. Of course every Mother who has seen her son sent to death row has dealt with horrible emotions. But you did not weaken, you did not crack; this steadfast determination showed those of us who were observing that you KNEW, you absolutely KNEW that Scott was innocent! I hate to say this, but if you had been "luke warm" about Scott's love for Laci, I probably would have just left it go. Instead, you rattled off dozens of facts, in a conversational tone, which proved to me that you were right. I looked at the last blog posting and it seems that many of the people who meant to wish Scott Happy Birthday posted their feelings on the previous post. Mrs.Peterson, I don't know what to say to you other than the fact that I can tell that many supporters of Scott are "all in". I'm sure you have heard the saying that the difference between ham and eggs is that the chicken is "interested" while the pig is "committed". I want you to know that I am one of the very many "pigs" determined to see this wrong righted. We will win. Good always trumps evil!
Jackie - I am so sorry for both you and Lee and the terrible sadness and helplessness you feel every day.
I too can't wait until Scott is out and can once again celebrate his birthday with his wonderful family! Happy Birthday Scott!!! Thinking of you! Hugs, Linda
Dear sweet Jackie.....
I read your post and cried for the all the lost moments, lost years and memories you never had a chance to build on with Scott, Laci and Conner. There aren't any words to console you or to make better the awful loss you have all suffered. What I can do is continue to pray that you find strength in knowing that one day Scott will be home with you where he belongs. Remember this day 36 years ago, that day of pure happiness and joy and know now what you didn't know then....that you were chosen for a reason to be Scott's parents and that he was chosen to be your son. God knew what he was doing on that day and he will guide you through the rest of these days until he brings Scott home to you again. God bless you all.
Happy Birthday Scott!
Today Taylor, Ella and I made you that German Chocolate cake, no wait (cough cough) I mean "German's" chocolate cake and celebrated your birthday in honor of you and your family. It breaks our hearts to see the pain that you and your family are in. Not only have you lost your family to a terrible heinous person(s) walking the streets but the life of freedom has been taken. Mrs. Jackie, remember they have taken Scott's freedom but they will never take Scott's soul or his loving spirit. You have raised a remarkable man. When the truth is finally seen and Scott is home he will be able to be with you and celebrate. Sadly injustice will still be there. The person(s) that committed this crime, MPD, Prosecutors all should feel shame for letting this happen. Words cannot express the disgust we feel. We love you and your family and we pray everyday that justice is served for the person(s) that have done this and Scott is home. We will do all that we can. Please remember to hold your head up high and continue to fight for justice. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. De, Trevor, Taylor and Ella P.S.: Mrs. Jackie, here is a dorky birthday joke you can pass on to Scott. He will know I just could not resist. Q. What did the bald man say when he got a comb for his birthday? A. Thanks. I'll never part with it!
Mrs. Peterson, I had so much doubt during Scott's trial, and now that I have read most of the case file, I know Scott could not have done this. I have faith the appeal court will see this injustice, I hope you will too. Stay strong, my thoughts are with you.

Dear Jacki,
I know how sad this day must be for you, Lee and your family not having Scott around to celebrate his birthday. Please wish Scott a Happy Birthday, even though it's not a very happy one for him being in the place he is. He should be home with his family. I pray for Scott, you, Lee and the family on an everyday basis and hope for the day when Scott is exonerated and back home with you all. Take care of yourself Jacki, I know that's easier said than done. Scott needs you to be there for him, so please keep your chin up. With Love, Dawn
Mrs. Peterson:
You don't know me, but I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am that you are so sad, and that you are not able to celebrate with Scott as you would like. I feel so much sadness for you, but still also feel like encouraging you not to give up. I will continue to be in prayer. God Bless You during this time. -Dee
Dear Jackie,
It was Friday, and I did not forget that it was also Scott's birthday. This comment from Robyn says it all: "Remember this day 36 years ago, that day of pure happiness and joy and know now what you didn't know then....that you were chosen for a reason to be Scott's parents and that he was chosen to be your son. God knew what he was doing on that day and he will guide you through the rest of these days until he brings Scott home to you again." Not so long ago, I searched out pictures of Scott as a very little boy. I wanted to know what Conner would have looked like. That's usually the way it works out when they are little. It breaks my heart. Our prayers and love are with you every day. I hope Scott had a peaceful birthday. With love, Pam
Hello Mrs. Peterson and Scott. I am sorry I am late on this. I have been in the hospital for the past few days and today is my first day home. Today, I am using my last names initial so no one will get confused between the two Linda's here.
So, Happy Birthday Scott. You have plenty of people on the outside who support you and are doing everything we can right a terrible wrong. When that day comes, you will have two birthday's to celebrate and then all of us have to get together and celebrate with you. You name the place, we will all be there.  
Jackie, I would stick by my son til the very last moment possible in a situation like this. I dont know if he is guilty or innocent, as the case was so goofed up that everyday people just watching the news like myself, just couldnt rightgully know for sure. I do think he was convicted because they didnt have anyone else to convict, but that doesnt make a man innocent or guilty.
What I do believe is that Scott genuinely feels sadness over the loss of his wife and son, and that you are still grieving the loss as well. I do look forward to seeing this retried, without the media zoo, a place and time where the facts can be laid out peacefully. I think its worth the money to let another entity have a crack at this case. The people really DO want to know what happened to Laci and Conner. We want to know who, what, and how.
I feel the only reason they convicted Scott was sadly because of the way he portayed himself at trial.
I believe he is innocent.
I always had a gut feeling Scott did not do this. After reading the facts on this web site it just really confirms it. It does not shock me that the police spread the lies (mis-truths) about Scott. That was the only way they could get a conviction. The media only wanted to sell the story so they jumped on the band wagon with the police. There are a lot of people in prison for crimes they did not commit and I believe Scott is one of them. I just hope it will all work out that he is free some day soon.

Dear Peterson Family,
From my understanding Scott is Innoncent yet was convicted and sentenced to death by lethal injection. Now I am in no form an expert but that is absoultely crazy. Not only has he dealt with the loss of his wife and son, but he got the blame for it. I don't understand! Obviously the police had some good reasoning and why they chose to charge Scott, but I do strongly believe there are many people in prison who are being punished for things the really didnt do. Its not fair at all, for them or their family. I also think that goes both ways their are people who should have been punished but werent and are livin their life free, example-who really killed Laci & Conner. By the way I was wondering about any other leads? Their had to be other suspects? I hope to become a police officer in a few years that has been my goal for the longest time now, and I am graduating from high school in a couple months. I know that I will not be perfect, and I think some of the police officers/detectives that worked on Scotts case may have had mixed feelings and maybe didnt think he was guilty yet with all the media that was involved I believe the were over powered by the media and also other people ahead of them who labeled Scott as guilty. I am truely sorry for the grief all of the family has had to suffer! My prayers are with you.
I was just going over your website all the pictures and facts about this case and the one thing that strikes me a real uneasy feeling is all the pictures off scott and laci,the way he looks at her you can just she how much he loves her i mean it is all over his face,hes always smiling and his eyes are just lit up with love and admiration for her there is no way I could or anyone else should think he would do any harm to her or his son.Good luck and remember god works in mysterious ways and he does things in weird ways but hopefully he is still on your side and thr truth always comes out in the end so just hang in there and you will be set free.
