The X-Rated Prosecution

I meant to post this yesterday, but didn't have time. I think Scott Peterson's guilty as sin, but the prosecution is losing my confidence when it decides that it needs evidence like this to convict him:

Donald Toy, who works for satellite television provider Echostar, testified earlier that Peterson added the Playboy channel to the Petersons' satellite service on Jan. 8, 2003 -- about two weeks after Laci disappeared.

"After approximately five days it was dropped, and the TENXtsy channels were added," Toy added.

TENXtsy is a "24-hour, uncensored adult channel delivering the wildest and most explicit situation the adult world has to offer," according to the Dish Network Satellite TV Web site.

Prosecutors argued that when Laci Peterson ordered the couple's satellite service in March 2001, she did not include adult channels, and that her husband's pornography orders indicate he knew she was not going to return.

Let me get this straight. Is there an acceptable time period for Peterson to have waited before ordering porn? Is there a three month rule? Are the prosecutors really suggesting that Scott killed Laci because he wanted to watch porn?

Look, all this proves is that Peterson's a slimeball. The prosecution has plenty of evidence that helps it prove that he's a slimeball, and should help it prove that he's a murderer. You know, I always thought prosectors in California got a bad rap for the Rodney King and Reginald Denny cases, to say nothing about O.J. But maybe it's deserved if they're stuck to using this kind of evidence.
