Losers lament loss of something to do after Peterson verdict

[DS1]

Now that Scott Peterson has been convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and her fetus, some people in the city where he was tried are feeling a void: emotional in some cases, financial in others.

Some residents who regularly attended the trial say the conclusion of the real-life soap opera drama leaves a void in their lives.

Linda Torgeson didn't know anyone directly involved in the case but attended just about every day of the trial.

"I am going to miss it," the 54-year-old teacher said.

1. Unbelieveable. Good God.

No wonder our country is so damn fouled up. Our priorities are totally out of whack.

2. Retired Teacher??

Or did they let everyone out of school to watch this stupidity??

3. Disgusting

Before 9/11 it was Chandra Levy and I'm sure something else will fill the void after this. After all... CNN and FOX need viewers!

I was waiting on a building inspector the other day and had Good Morning America on... watching that day in and day out would seriously affect your mind. It was one terrible shocking thing after another. More ways to squeeze out any sense that people had left in their skulls.

4. This is absolutely beyond pathetic

Are we sure this isn't the media projecting its feelings onto real people?

5. Hey, people who miss the trial:

GET A LIFE.
