| A lifelong friend of Jackie Peterson, Joanne Farmer, also referred to Peterson's father when asked about the potential for a death sentence. "I've watched Lee age about 20 years in the past two," she said. "I'm not sure how much more they can take." Joanne Farmer met Jackie when they attended the same Catholic School. They lived on opposite sides of town and would take the bus to school. Their bus routes converged at Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego, and the two girls would get hot chocolate and donuts, and feed the pigeons while waiting for their bus. Joanne said Jackie and Helen were very close, that Helen was "a dear, dear woman. Jackie is a lot like her, just sweet. Just the nicest person you ever want to meet." When Jackie's mother died, Joanne's mother took her under her wing. When her son, Craig Farmer, testified, he acknowledged he was closer to Peterson's brothers than the defendant himself, but said he had always been impressed by the loving, tight relationship he had with his father. "I wish I had a relationship like that with my dad," he said. HOME INDEX LACI CONNER WITNESS LIST TRIAL CASE INFO LACI'S FAMILY |
