People V. Scott Peterson

By Kayla Blevins, Liberty University, Class of 2020

September 2, 2020

Forty-seven-year-old Scott Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder of his wife, Laci, in 2005 and sentenced to death by lethal injection. He was also convicted of second-degree murder because of the death of his son, Conner, of whom Laci was still pregnant at the time of her death. However, Peterson argued to the California Supreme Court that his trial was flawed because of the media hype that encircled the case. The court rejected this but found serious errors when selecting jury members for the penalty phase - the trial court wrongly rejected potential jurors because they opposed the death penalty.

The problem is the potential jurors said they could overlook their personal opinions about the death penalty, nevertheless,the prosecution rejected them. The California Supreme Court agreed with Peterson because the precedent previously set by the United States Supreme Court asserts that potential jurors may not be considered ineligible to serve in capital murder cases because of their objections against the death penalty. (1) The California Supreme Court said this is precisely what occurred in Peterson’s penalty phase. Under the precedent set by the Supreme Court, even when one error occurs in a capital murder trial, there must be an “automatic reversal of any ensuing death penalty judgment.”(2) The California court believes numerous errors require they overturn Peterson's death penalty, but not his two murder convictions.

The California Court’s Opinion

According to Justice Kruger, the main author of the California court’s opinion, jurors are required to answer written questionnaires. The questionnaires ask the potential juror basic questions, like their opinion about the death penalty, because the courts desire someone capable of rightly judging the evidence presented in the case and not being swayed by their opinions.

Jurors can be excused through one of two “mechanisms.” (3) According to the opinion, the first “mechanism” is that a juror can be excused because the court or the council believes that he or she has a bias. (4) In a capital murder case, for example, the prospective juror is subject to excusal if they would be unable or unwilling to impose the death penalty if the defendant is found guilty. (5) Second, prospective jurors may be excused by the parties by means of peremptory challenge.(6) Each party is given a number of peremptory strikes set by law and allowed to choose from the remaining pool, up to the limit of their strikes, additional potential jurors they believe would be less favorably disposed to their side and to the verdict they seek. (7) The result of this process is a final jury of 12, plus alternates to guard against the need to excuse one or more jurors during the trial itself.(8)

The first mechanism is the focus of the California court in Peterson’s case, “The question is whether the process the trial court employed to remove jurors complied with the standards the United States Supreme Court has established for the disqualification of jurors for bias in a capital case.” (9)

Key Supreme Court Cases

In Witherspoon,the United States Supreme Court ruled that,

[A] sentence of death cannot be carried out if the jury that imposed or recommended it was chosen by excluding veniremen [potential jurors summoned for duty] for cause simply because they voiced general objections to the death penalty or expressed conscientious or religious scruples against its infliction. (10)

The reason is that “A man who opposes the death penalty, no less than one who favors it, can make the discretionary judgment entrusted to him by the State and can thus obey the oath he takes as a juror.  But a jury from which all such men have been excluded cannot perform the task demanded of it,” namely, to “express the conscience of the community on the ultimate question of life or death.” (11) In other words, “a criminal defendant has the right to an impartial jury drawn from a venire[potential jurors summoned for duty] that has not been tilted in favor of capital punishment by selective prosecutorial challenges for cause” based solely on general opposition to the death penalty. (12)

Witt, another case, acknowledges that states ensure murder cases are tried before juries who are “able to apply capital punishment within the framework state law prescribes.” (13) In Witt, the court held that trial courts may excuse a prospective juror for cause based on the juror’s views of capital punishment if those views “would ‘prevent or substantially impair the performance of his duties as a juror in accordance with his instructions and his oath.’”  (14) But to protect the right to trial by an impartial jury, a trial court may not remove jurors for cause based on views that do not greatly impair their ability to serve. (15) “[I]f prospective jurors are barred from jury service because of their views about capital punishment on ‘any broader basis’ than inability to follow the law or abide by their oaths, the death sentence cannot be carried out.” (16)

Witt and Witherspoon elucidates that potential jurors should not be disqualified from service just because they oppose the death penalty, “[N]ot all who oppose the death penalty are subject to removal for cause in capital cases; those who firmly believe that the death penalty is unjust may nevertheless serve as jurors in capital cases so long as they state clearly that they are willing to temporarily set aside their own beliefs in deference to the rule of law. (17) Neither may a juror be disqualified from service because he or she might “impose a higher threshold before concluding that the death penalty is appropriate.” (18) “The critical issue is whether a life-leaning prospective juror — that is, one generally (but not invariably) favoring life in prison instead of the death penalty as an appropriate punishment — can set aside his or her personal views about capital punishment and follow the law as the trial judge instructs.” (19)As long as a potential juror can obey the court’s instructions and rightly determine whether death is proper, based on a sincere consideration of aggravating and mitigating circumstances, the juror may not be excused for cause. (20)

The California court emphasized in the opinion they were not suggesting that a trial court errs when it exercises discretion to limit counsel’s opportunity to question prospective jurors directly. (21) The size of the venire was quite large – 1,500 people. It is reasonable for the court to have “tight controls” on the voir dire. (22) But sufficient inquiry must be made so only those properly excusable under the governing standards are properly dismissed, “Before granting a challenge for cause, the ‘court must have sufficient information regarding the prospective juror’s state of mind to permit a reliable determination as to whether the juror’s views would “prevent or substantially impair” performance as a capital juror.’”(23)Thus,trial courts are required to make “a conscientious attempt to determine a prospective juror’s views regarding capital punishment to ensure that any juror excused from jury service meets the constitutional standard.” (24)In this case, the California court found there were not enough inquiries made.

Peterson complained of numerous issues like his trial being in an area where he would likely have been found guilty, but the California court disagreed. He also complainedof evidence being flawed, like the admission of dog scent trailing evidence. But the court rejected that argument, “The dog-trailing evidence was not, as defendant claims, inherently unreliable; it rested on a solid foundation and could fairly be considered by the jury alongside whatever arguments against its significance and accuracy Peterson chose to muster.” (25)

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Terry Thornton said Peterson will stay in death row housing until the Stanislaus County District Attorney Birgit Fladager, decides if he wants to seek a new penalty phase trial.(26)

[katherine-mcnamara]

hi, dev! I hope you don't mind me asking this question, but as a gifmaker with prosopagnosia (face blindness), what draws you toward certain faces when it comes to giffing and roleplay?

i'm autistic, so i'm just innately curious about disability shaping and framing experiences with stuff in ways those without a disability might not consider/conceptualize initially. i also notice you tend to have a lot of muse for giffing katherine mcnamara - she seems to be a favorite of yours.

i hope you had a good weekend. it's.... sunday as im sending this. :D

Okay I passed the hell out so it's now Monday that I'm answering this and just I had a good weekend anon and I hope you did too!! And that this week is kind to you!

I don't mind questions at all! As an autistic person also I get the curiosity and always wonder about others experiences too with things!

Honestly what draws me to faces I tend to gif a lot of on personal time is I gravitate to people with kind looking faces if that makes sense? I've seen it described as soft features too so it's hard to describe. But I really seem to attach to faces that look kind? I also have a thing for redheads, which has become sort of a meme, love it though. I always feel bad when someone asks me how do i choose my favourites to gif when it's completely based on how I view kindness in their face, idk if there's a better way to describe it but hopefully listing some of my faves to gif and also to play/use might help which are:

Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Omari Hardwick, Daniel Ezra, Hande Ercel, Zahn McClarnon, Isaiah Mustafa, Ana Brenda Contreras, Willa Fitzgerald, Amala Paul, Lucy Hale, Theo James, Liam Hemsworth, Marina Ruy Barbosa, Emilia Jones, Connor Jessup, Shraddha Kapoor, Carl Clemons Hopkins, Aimee Carrero, Cody Fern, Kennedy Walsh, Cemre Baysel, Sophie Skelton, Katie LeClerc, Alicia Witt, Karrie Martin, Lewis Tan, Melisa Asli Pamuk, Ayca Aysin Turan, Aslihan Malbora, Harry Shum jr, Laura Marano, Jack Lowden, Jesse James Keitel, Jordan Calloway, Bridget Regan, Jenna Coleman, Scout Taylor Compton, David Ramsay, Shantel VanSanten, Jamie Campbell Bower, Merritt Patterson, Miray Daner, Taylor Cole, Briana Evigan, Laverne Cox, Ella Hunt, Peyton Alex Smith, Candice Patton, Jesus Castro, Shoshannah Stern, Daniel Wu, Iko Uwais, Burcu Özberk, George Robinson, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Ella Purnell, Jessica Stroup, Alexander Ludwig, Melisa Dongel, Macarena Achaga, Ashley Callingbull, Nicole Maines, Jessica Matten, Katherine Langford, Josephine Langford, Chanté Adams, Kiana Madeira, Laysla De Oliveira, Serkan Çayoğlu, Laura Harrier, Nicola Correia-Damude, Luca Hollestelle, Paris Jackson, Sophia Bush, Vanessa Morgan, Chella Man, Xuan Lu, Zion Moreno, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Coco Jones, Riley Voelkel, Aisha Dee, Bae Suzy, Kayla Compton, Christine Adams, Cress Williams

Katherine has been my favourite actress for years, and she also ended up playing my favourite character ever (Clary) so my attachment to her is extremely high and just keeps growing. Which I could write an essay on how people thought my attachment to her was adorable until it came out I was autistic and suddenly certain people found it creepy and disturbing and made me untrustworthy so there's that (:

You are right though I have infinite muse for her both to use in rp and to gif. I could gif her every second of every day and never get bored.

I hope this answered your question though sorry if I misunderstood!! <3
