The Judge read the following excerpt to the jury, “He asked me several times if I was afraid, I started to panic! He pulled out his knife that he kept around his leg and brought it to my neck. I thought I’d never see my boys again.” – the prosecution hasn’t done a very good job to date of showing that Peterson was in the bathroom when she died or any details about how he may have killed her, however, with a letter such as this, it shows Peterson capable of such an act of violence and that could be enough to get the jury thinking guilty.

The most damaging testimony in the trial so far has been hearsay evidence in which witnesses report to the court alleged conversations that they have had with the victim – while this type of testimony is usually not allowed in trials, in this case it’s everything for the prosecution and we’ll soon see just how solid this foundation of sand is for them – the defense has promised a speedy case, hinting that they don’t have to disprove anything as there is no real case against their client.
