We're Not Quite Scott (Peterson) Free Yet - His Fan Club's Just Getting Warmed Up
The president of the Scott Peterson Fan Club says the group will support the convicted killer "till his dying day, no matter if it's by old age or lethal injection."
Angel Ruth Bostwick said the group has inundated the California jail where Peterson is housed with letters of support, and will continue to do so. "Scott is such a sweet, sexy, hunky man," said Bostwick. "There's no way he could have done all those awful things the police and prosecutors said he did.
"How on earth could the jury have believed all that circumstantial stuff? So he told his girlfriend he was in Paris on New Year's Eve. Who hasn't told a little white lie sometime in their life? You shouldn't have to die for it."
Sheriff's officials were flabbergasted that Peterson was getting any support from the public, or that there even was a fan club.
"Next thing you know, they'll be on Oprah or Jane Pauley, wiping away tears and lamenting the unfairness of it all," said sheriff's spokesman Wendell Washington. "Earth to the Scott Peterson Fan Club: The jury looked at the evidence and said he did it. Then they listened to more evidence, and recommended the death penalty. Seems pretty clear-cut to me, or to anyone with half a brain."
But Bostwick was adamant, saying the fan club will always support Peterson - or at least until the postage money runs out.
"We might even try to visit regularly, although that could be tough because most of us are based in Mississippi and Louisiana," Bostwick said. "But a road trip to the San Francisco area might be fun, especially during a southern summer.
"It's not like any of us want to marry him or anything - well, maybe two or three do,'' Bostwick added. "But we just want to make sure that Scott knows we're behind him. He didn't get off like O.J., and won't be out playing golf and looking for the real killers. We have a committee to find the real killer in Scott's case, but that takes time and money. Writing is easier."
