File Under: WTF?

Scott Peterson still seems to be quite the ladies man, even while on death row at San Quentin.  He hasn't had much time to sit in his cell and think about how killing his wife and their unborn son; he's been busy reading all of the letters he received from his female admirers.  Officials at San Quentin say that Scott Peterson has been getting an average of 25 letters a day.  Most of the letters are from women who tell him how good looking he is, and how they believe he's innocent.  Some are even mailing him marriage proposals.  If Scott is interested in meeting any of these women, the prison will send them a visitor's questionnaire to fill out and send back to the prison.  Once they are returned, prison officials will review them, and if the information meets their criteria for visitors, the women can come to San Quentin and meet Scott Peterson.

This isn't the first inmate that women have been after.I remember watching an episode of "Sixty Minutes" where they interviewed one of the Menendez brothers and his new wife.  She sent a letter to him, saying she thought he, too, was innocent, and one thing led to another and they got married.  They also got divorced after less than a year of marriage. 

I don't know what is crazier -- the fact that Scott Peterson could have a parade of potential suitors visiting him as he's on Death Row, or that fact that there are women out there so desparate for a husband that they're interested in a convicted murderer?  Are they that hard up for a man that they have to go looking for one on death row?  Gals, I don't think a man in San Quentin is really marriage material.  Whether or not the women think he's innocent, they all have to agree that Scott Peterson did testify on the witness stand that he wanted to get OUT of his marriage to Laci.  That should tell you something right there.

It's frightening on many levels, because look how many women DO this. What is it- the unattainability (and therefore low risk of being hurt)? Is it the drama? The feeling that one is "saving" another man's poor, downtrodden soul?

I can't believe how many people think this man is innocent. His actions immediately after Laci's disappearance said it all to me. He changed his appearance, tried to get a car in his mom's name, and lied in general.  The man is guilty.

And these women writing him? They need their heads examined.
