Steve Nash, Amber Fry & Oprah

“ Off on a tangent ... I see Scott Peterson's ex-girlfriend Amber Frey is making the TV talk show rounds, boo-hooing as she promotes her book and relishes her victim status. Oh puh-leeze, somebody pass me a mop.
Being a victim has made Frey a celebrity. She must've learned from the Jessica Hahn model, and she's boo-hooing all the way to the bank. How anyone could want to profit from the murders of two people, I'll never know. ”

Thought you would want to know that Amber will be on Oprah today. Do you think the prosecution would have gotten a conviction without Amber's help ?

A lot of people think the prosecution would not have won without her. Give her credit for coming forward and being a witness and doing her civic duty. I don't know why she keeps wanting to remind people of the sordid episode she was involved in other than cashing in big time on her sudden celebrity status and crying all the way to the bank.

I do give her credit for helping law enforcement and thus the prosecution. I'll be eager to see how much of the money she makes off the book will be donated to causes that are related to this case. I plan on watching her today. I watched Oprah's show yesterday after reading your column and that's how I knew Amber was scheduled for todays show. Maybe she will answer some of the questions being posed by the media and their readers/viewers !

Here’s an intersting blog site discussing this issue:

You guys are all SO BLIND! Have you been following the case at all? I don't think you all should open your hearts and mouths on the topic, since you are all so blind to the facts that are right out there! First of all, I do agree that it is somewhat strange that Scott could be given a death sentence, despite no direct evidence that he killed Laci (ie fingerprints, blood, murder weapon etc), but there is no doubt THAT HE IN FACT KILLED HER! I can't believe all you women, who act as if you were in love with Scott without EVEN KNOWING HIM in person. The number one cause of death for pregnant women in America is domestic homicide. Can't you all women realize how easy it would be to kill your own 8 month pregnant, and highly vulnerable wife by smothering her in her sleep, or strangling her. I believe Scott killed Laci when she was lying a sleep in bed on Dec.23rd. That would have given him plenty of time to make sure things were covered up before he took the body to the Marina. Just because there is no evidence of a struggle, or blood at the crime scene, doesn't mean that a crime could not have been committed. If you pay attention to Scott's eyes when he is talking to the media, and his actions after Laci disappeared, it is clear that he shows no remorse, that it was a premeditated act (he had been planning on killing Laci for quite some time), AND he just can't keep his composture. He put himself where he belongs by talking too much, by lying so much and not even knowing HOW to lie without revealing too much. You can tell that Scott is proud of committing this crime that he planned in every detail. The good part is that the police, and the people around this case never gave up looking for clues even though they didn't have a direct cause of death, or a murder weapon. The police did look for other leads and theories, but NOTHING lead anywhere else but RIGHT BACK TO SCOTT HIMSELF. Amber Fry may not have been the reason why Scott killed Laci, but she was a part of his search for freedom from family life and fatherhood. Scott had been unfaithful several times before Amber came in the picture. Amber did a brave thing. Put yourself in the victims' position. Maybe your girlfriend would be killed by her man and there is NO explanation to HOW, or WHY a sweet girl was killed, someone like Laci who was loved by so many people. Now think, all the circumstancial evidence leads to her husband, the police have found evidence of anchors being made, there is a hair in a pair of needlenose pliers that looks like your friend's hair, there are all thee phonecalls to a mistress (even as the search for your friend is on!), the husband wants to sell (get rid of) all that is left of your friend: the house (furnished), the car. The husband stores junk in the baby's room. And can't tell you enough how suspicious this behaviour looks: CAN'T YOU SEE IT. It is written right in front of you. A grieving husband does not act like that PERIOD! Not while your wife and baby is still out there and has not yet been found. After Laci and Connor had been found...maybe...BUT this happened while nobody (but Scott) knew where they were. Scott could have committed the "perfect" murder, but there is no such thing as a perfect murder. The truth usually comes out sooner or later. Scott f**ked it up for himself by blabbing on and on. I am glad there is justice for those women who are victimized by their abusive. husbands
