| STAR MAGAZINE May 28, 2003 Scott Peterson Flooded with Marriage Proposals in Jail HOW "sick" is this? Scott Peterson, accused of murdering his pretty wife Laci is being bombarded with letters from love-hungry ladies begging him to marry them! Sources inside Stanislaus County Jail in Modesto, Calif., say the handsome 30-year-old fertilizer salesman has received marriage proposals from desperate gals of all shapes and sizes since his arrest April 18.The kooky letters are delivered to the 6-foot-by-9-foot cell where Peterson is being housed alone to keep other prisoners from killing him in retaliation for the alleged murders of his wife Laci, 27, and their unborn son Conner. "Inmates look down on men accused of killing women and children," says Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department spokesman Kelly Huston. "We don't want some three-striker with nothing to lose trying to harm Scott while he is awaiting trial." Officials are so afraid that someone will get to their famous prisoner that guards are required to check in on him every 30 minutes. Pretty, dark-haired Laci, a substitute schoolteacher who was eight months pregnant, was reported missing from the couple's Modesto home last Christmas Eve. Peterson, who had joined in a frantic search for his wife, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder after the bodies of Laci and her baby washed ashore from San Francisco Bay in mid-April. Now, at a cost of $34,000 a year to taxpayers, the suspect spends his days peering from his cell at a TV set mounted in a corridor and shared by inmates in five other cells. He receives three meals a day and is allowed to shower every other day. Twice a week, two deputies escort Peterson to the jail roof, where he's given 90 minutes to walk, stretch or shoot a basketball. He gets to spend as long as he wants with his lawyers. And he can respond to love letters in his spare time. But none of his passionate penpals have been invited to see him. Peterson can have two personal visits every seven days. So far, he's only met with family members -- and none of his sicko fans. HOME INDEX INCONSISTENT STATEMENTS EVIDENCE-NEWS & STORIES MAGAZINE INDEX ALIBI-WITNESS LIST LACI SCOTT WIRETAPS |
