| Witness: Scott could be a teacher in jail Testifying today were Coni and Paul Fritz, the parents of Peterson's high school friend, Aaron Fritz, who was a witness Thursday. In brief turns on the stand, the Fritzes described Peterson as a respectful, mature student who worked for several high school charities and never hesitated to provide rides home from school for their son. "He volunteered for a lot of activities and we trusted him to drive our son around," Paul Fritz said. "All I can say is [he's] a first-class gentleman." The mother of one of Scott's closest friends told the jury that the man they convicted of murder could be a "great mentor and teacher" if he is allowed to live out his remaining days in jail. "Scott will make a positive contribution to whatever is dealt to him," Coni Fritz said, looking straight into the eyes of jurors who will recommend whether Peterson should be sentenced to death or to life in prison without the possibility of parole. "It's very important to know that he has a lot to contribute." His wife said that, despite Peterson's affluent parents, he was not spoiled or snobby. "I'm sure arrogance is not a word he even knows how to spell, because that's not who he is," Coni Fritz said. She looked at Peterson throughout her testimony and blew him a kiss as she left the witness stand. Prosecutor Dave Harris opted not to cross-examine the witnesses.
