I have no joy in Scott being given the death penalty, even though it was inevitable. I did immediately pray for him - which doesn't mean that I like him, or any other liar.

Frankly, what I think happened was that there was most probably an argument, and he may have shoved her or whatever. Instead of calling 911, he disposed of her. In my eyes, the crime was more for not seeking help for Laci & Connor, and trying to cover up the situation. Had he called 911, none of this would have happened in quite the spectacular fashion.
Alright, if the strangler doesn't suit you well, how about Bruno Hauptmann? The point is that everyone was so sure he was the killer, and yet the evidence didn't fit except for how the police and prosecution interpreted it.

It shouldn't matter what we "think" happened or that he "may have" killed her, what's important is that he did do it and it's not because of his reaction (or lack of) to her death and his extra-martial affair that proves his guilt.

If he's guilty, then justice is served, but if this was a miscarriage of justice, then there will be no closure for the family. The media is reason why this trial became such a spectacular sensation. This was the new ticket for ratings, and it sounds like the jury is ready to cash in too.
