Scott Peterson and reverse racism

Michelle Malkin says that there’s no racism involved in the lack of attention being given to the death of Lisa Eatmon when the facts are very similar to the Scott and Laci Peterson media brouhaha, but with an important difference being that Lisa Eatmon is black.

I hate it as much as anyone when the left screams “racism” where none actually exists. But let’s get real here Michelle. The only reason anyone cared about Laci and Scott Peterson is because they were good looking preppy white people.

And I say it’s reverse racism because in criminal law the rights of the accused are paramount. Law enforcement and prosecutors when far beyond the call of duty to prosecute Scott Peterson when, as far as I can tell, the evidence against him was severely lacking. If Laci and Scott had been ugly black people from the ghetto (or ugly white trailer trash) there would have been no media attention and probably no trial.

This is not the same at all. This was a woman having an affair with a married man who was a known criminal. I'm not saying she deserved to die because obviously she did not. HOWEVER, to compare her to lace and Scott? Get real. Oh, and scott - white guy - got death penalty. Helloooooo
