PROSECUTOR DAVE HARRIS URGED THE JURY TO CHOSE THE DEATH PENALTY. IN CLOSING ARGUMENTS HE SAID TWO YEARS AGO PETERSON HAD A PLAN AND HE EXECUTED IT.

BRIDGE: Inside the courtroom the defense team had the last word. Peterson s lawyers reminded jurors of all witnesses who had come here to redwood city to testify to peterson s basic goodness.. and argued the 32-year-old s life was worth saving.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY MARK GERAGOS DESCRIBED WHAT PRISON MIGHT BE LIKE FOR PETERSON.

resonates with the jury it could be very could for the defense.. because scott peterson s life might be saved by this jury
LAST MONTH.. AFTER THE JUDGE REPLACED TWO JURORS.. IT TOOK THIS PANEL JUST TWO DAYS TO FIND PETERSON GUILTY OF MURDERING HIS WIFE LACI AND THEIR UNBORN SON.

Now, the builders of the 122- foot sailing ship have already marked an important milestone. Wednesday, a crane hoisted the boat from the pier where it was constructed, and lowered it into the Elizabeth River.
The schooner must still be outfitted with masts, but the auxiliary engines donated by Salem-based Carter Machinery and Caterpillar USA are already in place.

MeadWestvaco is looking at building a distribution center in the area that would consolidate warehousing and distribution. The center would mean a big increase in the truck and train traffic in the area. MeadWestvaco has scheduled a meeting with nearby landowners on Monday to talk about the project. Opponents of the project say there are other available industrial sites in the area that would be more suitable.
