SCOTT PETERSON: I WANT TO DIE
By Jim Nelson
Philandering wife-and-baby
murderer Scott
Peterson is obsessed
with killing himself,
The National Enquirer can reveal.
"I want to die!" Peterson told
a prison psychiatrist, according
to a police source.
After spending a year on San
Quentin prison's death row
following his conviction for
killing pregnant wife Laci and
their unborn son Conner, Peterson
would rather take his own life than
let the state of California — or some other inmate — do it for
him, the source says.
According to the insider, Peterson, 33, has become "a
pathetic basket case" since arriving at San Quentin last
March 17, with both his hands and legs shackled.
A day before, a judge had affirmed the death sentence for the former fertilizer salesman
from Modesto following California's
most highly-publicized criminal trial
since the O.J. Simpson case.
At a cost to taxpayers of $4 million,
jurors in Redwood City, Calif.,
returned a death penalty verdict
against Peterson, finding him guilty
of killing Laci, pictured, and Conner.
Peterson, who was having an affair
with blonde massage therapist
Amber Frey behind his wife's back,
dumped Laci's body in San Francisco
Bay on Christmas Eve 2002.
