Scott Peterson Blogs from Death Row

Convicted killer Scott Peterson is blogging from San Quentin Prison.

Through his family's website, Peterson is reaching out to those who may be sympathetic to him.

On the web you will find pages dedicated to Scott Peterson and his claims of innocence. Links to support Scott, and now his own thoughts and words.

Peterson's first blog from prison says in part, "I shall end with part of a legal decision I found that I think fits my wrongful conviction."

Sharon Rocha, Laci Peterson's mother says it's ridiculous that Peterson has access to the internet, "it isn't right that they should have access to the internet either direct access of through somebody else."

San Quentin officials issued this statement today "Inmates have a first amendment right of free speech and as long as no laws are being broken; CDCR has no opinion or position on this issue."

Criminal Defense Attorney Steven Feldman shared his views with Fox6 today saying, "I think its fairly unusual that a death row inmate would have the freedom to speak his or her mind in a public forum."

Feldman knows San Quentin's Death Row. He defended David Westerfield when Westerfield was tried and convicted of murdering Danielle Van Dam.

Feldman has visited Westerfield on death row and doesn't believe Peterson, who is under the same roof...is getting preferential treatment. "The press may focus on some small fact and it gets blown out of proportion. The idea that Scott Peterson is treated any differently than any other inmate I think is very very unlikely, particularly on Calfiornia's Death Row."

On CNN news today I read about Barack Obama and his visit to see soldiers. Sen. Barack Obama -- who has made ending the Iraq war a cornerstone of his run for the presidency -- huddled on Monday with Iraqi officials and U.S.-led coalition military commanders about the conflict, now in its sixth year. Obama met with Lt. Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of Multi-National Corps-Iraq; British Maj. Gen. Barney White Spunner, commander of Multi-National Division South East; and Maj. General Abdul Aziz, the Iraqi army's 14th Division commander. Obama then traveled to Baghdad, where he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Tariq al-Hashimi, a Sunni Arab who is of Iraq's two vice presidents. The senator was to hold talks later with Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S. troops in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq. An official with al-Maliki's office described the meeting as "very good and successful for both sides." Obama expressed his support for the Iraqi government and noted that the passage of important legislation -- such as laws addressing the production and distribution of oil revenue -- would help strengthen the country, the official said. I think Obama is really change bring among change for this country. He always do something positive that makes me want to vote for him that I think would bring some kind of change.

Today in the CNN news today i read,a child by the name of Madeline has been missing May 2007, The case will remain on hold unless new evidence emerges, The Associated Press reported.

Attorney-General Fernando Pinto Monteiro's office said the 14-month investigation uncovered no evidence of a crime by the three people named as suspects: Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry and local man Robert Murat.

Madeleine went missing in May 2007, a few days before her fourth birthday, during a family vacation in Portugal's southern Algarve region.

The McCanns now want their own private investigators to be given access to detectives' papers.
Madeleine was nearly four when she vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz as her parents dined in a tapas restaurant with friends nearby. Despite a huge police investigation and massive coverage in the Portuguese and British media, she has not been found.
Reflection;The parent should have been watching her better. It partly there fault i think honestly because there were having fun while there little was running around all bad.I hope Madeline is still alive and safe.

the article i read today that It is the second trip to Iraq for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and the latest leg of an overseas trip that began in Kuwait and Afghanistan and will go on to Jordan, Israel, the West Bank, Germany, France and Britain. The senator from Illinois first visited Iraq in 2006.

Obama, accompanied by two key Senate colleagues, arrived Monday afternoon in the southern city of Basra, according to U.S. Embassy spokesman Armand Cucciniello.

Obama met with Lt. Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of Multi-National Corps-Iraq; British Maj. Gen. Barney White Spunner, commander of Multi-National Division South East; and Maj. General Abdul Aziz, the Iraqi army's 14th Division commander.

Obama then traveled to Baghdad, where he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Tariq al-Hashimi, a Sunni Arab who is of Iraq's two vice presidents. The senator was to hold talks later with Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S. troops in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq

Today I read a article in the cnn news about that in San Quentin a California technical prison. There's like 5,400 inmates and a lot of the sufficient people that are there don’t have a GED or have finished there high school proficient. So the prison is giving the inmates more time and help so they can get a good education instead of being in the street gang banging.
