While the judge read the charges, Peterson winced at one point, but expressed little emotion. Also inside the courtroom, a sketch artist captured an embrace between Laci's mother and Scott's mother. The Peterson family continues to stand by their son. But his in-laws would not say anything specific about him, instead they vowed to seek justice.

"She did not deserve to die ... and left in a water grave."
Laci's body and baby Conner washed up on a San Francisco bay shore last week. Its the same area where Scott said he had gone fishing the day Laci disappeared. Although investigators have not said how the mother-to-be was killed, court documents say they believe she was murdered inside the home she shared with her husband. The family thanked the many strangers and friends who have left notes and items for Laci and her baby Conner.
