I took life & life. I'm not sure if a dude offing his wife (pregnant and all) is a death penalty crime.

I think he gets life but it wouldn't bother me if he got the chamber.

There are so many weird things about how the trial went down though, including all the jurrors they kept kicking out. I think life/life are the best choices given the situation.

Like I said I am unsure but I would say multiple offenders, serial killers and the like. In Oregon we had a guy who kidnapped two little girls abused and then killed them. So people like that.

I wouldn't be bothered if he got it though, its just not how I would vote.

I don't get it? Killing your wife and unborn child isn't as horrific as killing random hitch hikers? How many random hitch hikers would he need to kill? What about if it was twins she was carrying? What about a pregnant random hitch hiker? What if he had killed his girlfriend after he killed his pregnant wife? What if he killed his pregnant wife and a pregnant girlfriend? Would that do it?

I think killing random people for no purpose other than to fulfill some type of need is worse, yes.

It should be pointed out that the jury decided that Petersen did not intend to kill the unborn child. I thought that was retarded but that's what they decided.

I chose Death & Life. I think he should get the death penalty, but the irony of a guy murdering his wife and child to be a bachelor again and then ending up getting raped my men the rest of his life is humorous.

It has already been determined that if sentenced to life he will spend 22 hours a day in a cell, alone. He will have 2 hours or exercise but this will be conducted with multiple gaurds.
