Probably because I have been told a lot that I look a little like Laci. I felt so bad that she was murdered and to this day-I am not saying that Scott isn't guilty. But I have read 3 books about the Laci Peterson trial and I just can not see where they got deep down hard evidence that Scott was guilty. I read the book that Amber wrote, I also read the one that Scott's lawyer wrote, and I read the one that his sister wrote. I believe that he did kill her and I am glad that he got the death penalty. But I just have not read or heard anywhere where it has deep down hard evidence. <br /><br />No one gang up on me or anything, lol. I have followed this series from day 1, I just would like in your face facts that just pops out at you like "THERE"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369625593490166322.post-5179041969286062612009-08-05T10:26:40.576+02:002009-08-05T10:26:40.576+02:00Teddyree,I am so sorry about your daughter.When I ...Teddyree,I am so sorry about your daughter.When I suggested these books for you I had no idea.I really hope that this doesn't bring up painful memories.Like Beth Holloway states "You will always be your daughter's mother" No one can take this away from you and the memories of the time you had together.Yvette Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361339301958932504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369625593490166322.post-46463148120218389252009-08-05T09:50:12.562+02:002009-08-05T09:50:12.562+02:00Your review of For Laci really touched me Yvette, ...Your review of For Laci really touched me Yvette, I'm going to see if I can get this one. Having had a daughter die (medical reasons not murder)I cannot imagine how horrific it would be to look at a headstone for your loved one & forever see the murderer's surname.

I didn't know Dr. Keith Ablow also wrote a book. I bet that one is especially interesting. Do you know if that one and Mrs. Rocha's books are in paperback?<br /><br />And I couldn't agree with you more about murdered wives having their husbands last name even after death. I was proud of my daughter for not changing her maiden name after she got married! Why should she? Why should any woman?<br /><br />You really hit on something there. I wonder how come I never heard that said before! Way to go Yvette!
