Amber Frey, Ex-Mistress of Murderer Scott Peterson

Amber Dawn Frey was the mistress of convicted murderer Scott Peterson. Peterson was found guilty of killing his wife, Laci, and his unborn child in 2002. Freys six-week affair with Peterson was in the spotlight during the 2004 criminal trial. She was a key witness in his prosecution. Peterson is currently sentenced to death by lethal injection residing  on Death Row in San Quentin State Prison. The following accounts of Freys short-term relationship with Peterson come directly from Frey as she recounts the brief courtship and events leading up to Laci Petersons disappearance on the  Oprah Winfrey Show. Other details of Freys life have been disclosed mostly by family, friends, and opportunists.   Early Life of Frey Frey was born in Los Angeles, California, on February 10, 1975, to Ron and Brenda Frey, who divorced when she was five years old.  She graduated from Clovis High School in 1993 and attended Fresno City College where she achieved an associates degree in child development. She pursued additional training in massage therapy from Golden State College in Fresno, California. Frey and Peterson Get Connected Peterson and Frey were connected through Freys best friend, Shawn Sibley. Sibley had met Peterson at a business conference in Anaheim, California, in October 2002. Sibley says that Peterson told her he was single and wanted to meet an intelligent woman to have a long-term relationship with. Sibley told Frey about Peterson. Frey agreed to get connected over the phone. Peterson contacted Frey in early November and they made a date  to meet later in the month. The First Date On November 20, 2002, Frey met Peterson at a bar. There they shared champagne and strawberries then left to have dinner in a private room at a Japanese restaurant. Their conversation flowed easily and Amber felt Scott was easy to be around. After dinner, they went to a karaoke bar, sang, and slow-danced until the bar closed. They returned to Scott Petersons hotel room where they became intimate and ended up spending the night together. Relationship Sparks Amber described Peterson as being very romantic and solicitous towards her and her 20-month-old daughter, Ayianna, by including her child on some of their outings together. With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, Peterson explained to Amber that he would be on a fishing trip in Alaska. Up to this point, Peterson had not mentioned to Amber that he was married and that his wife was 7-months pregnant. Feelings Deepen The relationship continued to grow between Frey and Peterson. Peterson  made home-cooked meals for Frey and Ayianna. He took Ayianna Christmas tree shopping. The couple shared deep conversations about their lives and feelings.  Peterson bought presents for Frey that demonstrated his sensitivity toward thoughts she had shared with him. Frey recalled one such conversation that was centered on the importance of trust in relationships. During that conversation, Peterson told Frey that he had never been married. Marriage Exposed On December  6, 2002, Freys best friend, Sibley, discovered that Peterson was married and she threatened to expose him to Frey. Peterson explained to Shawn that he had lost his wife and although it was difficult for him to talk about, he would tell Frey. On December 9, he told Frey that he had been married and lost his wife but found it hard to talk about. Frey asked him if he was ready for a relationship with her, and Peterson enthusiastically stated that he was. Relationship Gets More Serious Frey and Peterson attended a formal Christmas party on December 14. Frey introduced Peterson to her friends as her boyfriend. Later that evening they had sex without using birth control. Peterson commented that he didnt want children and regretted not taking precautions. He told Frey that he would willingly raise her daughter as his own, but to prevent the possibility of Frey becoming pregnant, he was considering a vasectomy. Frey found his revelation disturbing since she wanted more of a family someday. Frey Learns of Petersons Deception Peterson told Frey he would be in Paris for New Years. He called her often during his travels. On December 29, Richard Byrd, a friend of Freys and also a Fresno homicide detective, informed Frey that Peterson was married and his pregnant wife was missing. Once informed of Petersons deception, Frey contacted the police and agreed to assist with the investigation by taping future phone conversations from Peterson. Petersons calls to Frey were sporadic over the holiday. One notable conversation occurred on December  31, when Peterson told Frey that he was in Paris at a bar with friends and described the awesome firework display at the  Eiffel Tower. Frey Maintains Contact With Peterson Meanwhile, Scott had reported  Laci missing at 6 p.m. on December  24, 2002, after he returned home from a fishing trip at the Berkeley Marina. On January 6, Peterson admitted to Frey about his marriage and his wifes disappearance. He talked about the investigation and his innocence in murdering his wife. The following month, on February 19, Frey told Peterson they should stop talking until things were resolved with the murder of his wife. Peterson agreed. On April 18, 2003, Peterson was arrested and  charged with two  felony  counts of murder with premeditation and special circumstances: the  first-degree murder  of Laci, and the  second-degree murder  of his unborn child. He pled not guilty. Media Catches on to Frey-Peterson Affair In May 2003, Frey hired celebrity lawyer, Gloria Allred, to help with the hounding news media. Rumors and speculations about Frey were running wild even though she was tight-lipped and in seclusion. David Hans Schmidt, a promoter, surfaced with a paid-subscription website of nude pictures of Frey taken at the Clovis modeling agency in 1999. Frey filed suit against him, stating that she never signed an agreement to give up her rights to the photographs. Eventually, Schmidt was barred from commercially exploiting photos of Frey. In August 2004, Frey testified at Petersons  trial. The intimate details of their six-week relationship were revealed by her and the contents of the taped conversations were made public. Frey Post-Script After her relationship with Peterson, Frey began dating long-time friend Dr. David Markovich in early 2003, a Fresno chiropractor, with whom she had a child, Justin Dean.   In 2006, Frey married Robert Hernandez, a member of law enforcement, in Fresno, California. The couple divorced in 2008. She works as a massage therapist and is a writer known for  Amber Frey: Witness for the Prosecution  published in 2005,  The Murder of Laci Peterson  in 2017.

Matthew Nutt Mr. Bema APENGLISH/11 November 20, 2012 Final Draft In the pamphlets â€Å"The Crisis† and â€Å"The Word and the Silence† Thomas Paine and Subcomandante Marcos formulated arguments based on the struggle between oppressive regimes and the commoners suffering it. Their purpose was to influence a justification to revolt in the common people as well as to establish how they needed to fight the oppression. The rhetorical devices used by Thomas Paine and Marcos can be compared in the sense that they both display anaphora, loaded language, and a credibility ethos to create an emotional, and inspiring tone to help their audience embrace revolt in a positive way. After coming to these conclusions, I was able to extrapolate a new insight on†¦show more content†¦They both establish an emotional tone of anger by stressing that the fight stretched to all people and that their suffering would continue unless they prolonged fighting. This tone helped the commoners embrace revolt by explaining to the commoners that their suff ering is caused by the oppressive government which in turn invokes anger into people which then gained a reaction from the people who now desired more battle. In addition, this device helped them in contributing to the cause by establishing their place in the battle to be no different from the common man. This is proven where Paine stated â€Å"the far and the near†¦Ã¢â‚¬  showing that he too was a part of the American Revolution even though he was ‘far’. Marcos did the same when he stated â€Å"look with disdain and repugnance at our past† which proved his understanding of what the Mexican government had done to the people. The second rhetorical strategy implemented by these two authors was loaded language, a strategy that incorporates emotion into diction. Throughout their essays they used emotion in their diction with their purpose of influence in mind. Marcos used this strategy when he stated â€Å"today we say we are indigenous, and we say it like gi ants.

A P Why Sammy Quit Essay - 677 Words

In the short story called A P by John Updike, our main character Sammy is described as being a checkout clerk at the local grocery store. Sammy quits his job for many reasons. Sammy does not want to be referred as a sheep, someone that follows, instead he wishes to do things on his own. Sammy begins the story by describing the three girls in bathing suits who have walked into the A P grocery store. The girl who catches his attention is a chunky girl in a plaid green two-piece swimsuit. As Sammy continues to observe the girls, his interest seems to focus only on the girl who leads the other two into the store. Sammy refers to the girl he likes as Queenie,someone showing poise and leadership, while the other girls†¦show more content†¦And what Sammy said about the bees, its true too. Bees arent independent, they follow and take orders from the queen bee. Sammy notices how all of the customers also act like sheep, which gets on his nerves.The next paragraph shifts to the next character, Sammys co-worker, Stokesie. Stokesie is twenty-two, married, and has two children. Even though Stokesie plays a small part in the story, I believe that Updike included this character for a reason. This story isnt only based on calling people sheep, but also has to do with change. Change plays an important part in our life. We were all once little kids, small and naive. As a kid, we didnt know any better but to do exactly what we were told. We become prone to following orders without knowing whether they are good or bad. Gradually, we become knowledgeable about the difference between right and wrong. Through experience, we develop into a better person. With knowledge and experience, we learn to excel. However, some people are still stuck in the past because they havent learned anything. Sammy knows what he wants to do and be. He doesnt want to work a t A P for the rest of his life. Sammy isnt the type of person who would simply follow, he has his own ideas and believes in what he stands up for.

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx Essay - 2047 Words

Since the inception of communism in the early 1840’s, the idea has created turmoil and instilled fear in both the western world and eastern world alike. This philosophy, created by Karl Marx in his novel The Communist Manifesto has started wars, created a massive decline in productivity and destroyed the liberty of many deserving citizens. Leaders of communism, including Hugo Chavez and Joseph Stalin, have perfected the art of exploitation of the mind through mob mentality, or the human tendency to take on certain emotional, violent behaviors in large groups. Arthur Miller in the play The Crucible and Ray Bradbury in his novel Fahrenheit 451 critique the negative effects of communism, especially the mob mentality its leaders create in†¦show more content†¦Ignorance allows the government to be able to assume all power. In order to continuously keep citizens from knowledge and questioning any of the government’s motives, the government places a widespread ban o n books in order to prevent anyone from gaining knowledge.

These widespread teachings and lack of true knowledge lead to a mob mentality, out-casting and showing violence toward anyone who shows interest in education and reading. This mentality is shown in Captain Beatty’s explanation, â€Å"Surely you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally ‘bright’, and did most of the reciting and answering while all the others sat like so many leaden idols, hating him.

Rhetorical Devices In The First Oration With Catilia

After the French and Indian war, the British monarch decided to tax the colonies to pay off the debts from the recent war. Taxes were placed on nearly everything the colonists needed or could sell. This angered the colonists, thus tensions were rapidly rising between the colonists and the British monarch. Many considered the concept of independence a radical idea and very dangerous. Others were tired of being taken advantage of the British. A man by the name of Patrick Henry believed it was time to fight for independence. He further expressed his thoughts through a speech given at the Virginia Provincial Convention. This speech was similar to another speech written by a man called Marcus Cicero, in the way it used rhetorical elements to†¦show more content†¦In this case Henry is asking the colonists to ask themselves what they want, and if they would want to live life at the expense of their freedom. He’s trying to get the colonists to understand the difference betwee n liberty and freedom. Liberty is fought for and is a cause for freedom. Liberty also, is being allowed to do something. Freedom is to be rid of being under the control of something or something. We are free to speak, bear arms and to choose our religion, as a result of the Bill of Rights that was later written. The principles and rights listed in the Bill of Rights were ideas that Henry was trying to get the colonists to fight for. Henry is able to effectively cause the colonists take into account that he is asking the colonists to fight for freedom from the British monarchy and government. Another example would be in the second paragraph of his speech. â€Å"Is this the part of the wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who having eyes see not, and having ears hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?† (Henry 102). Here Henry is asking if the colonists are willing to fight in a possibly long and difficult battle for their worldly freedom from a higher authority. He wants the colonists to think about their actions and if they are going to stand to the side and let the British government take away their rights. In this way he is able to get

Gustave Courbet Biography Outline1 Biography2 Key Ideas of Works3 Famous Paintings3.1 The Stone Breakers3.2 The Origin of the World3.3 The Desperate Man3.4 The Burial at Ornans3.5 The Sleepers Biography Gustave Courbet was a known artist whose drawings and paintings were a Realistic revolt against the time’s Romantic clamor. Born in 1819 in a town-a-like village of Ornans, which is situated in the very center of France, the painter was the first child in a multi-child family. The family had a farm and was quite financially secure hence, Gustave didn’t have to work hard to earn a living. His artistic talent was discovered at an early age when he drew his first landscape sketches and daily rural routine. His first artistic education was conducted in Besancon (1837) where he had the first attempts to paint. Later on, in 1840 he headed to Paris to study law which had been advised by his father. He studied hard, even though he didn’t finish his legal education since he decided to change the major and give in himself to arts. His father was fond of the son’s desire to become an artist and assured him that he would do anything in his power to help Gustave achieve his goals. So it happened. Having moved to the capital, the young painter worked for Steuben and Hesse. However, working with the two didn’t satisfy his needs since he was aiming at creating a unique style of painting which would oppose the dominating Romanticism. Therefore, Gustave decided to teach himself by redoing and copying famous pictures. For this, he would spend days and nights in museums, the Louver in particular, where he would try to follow the artistry and techniques of such painters as Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Rubens and many others. Having created a vast range of Realistic pictures and impacted Parisian social issue, he was exiled to Switzerland in the early 70s, after having spent 6 months in prison, where he passed away at the age of 58.

He believed that: ï‚ ·The Art’s primordial purpose is to reflect the reality giving it a shade of fantasy by exposing everything in a new light; ï‚ ·An artist cannot and will not be truly free unless they break the chains of old canons which are to tame what should be liberated; ï‚ ·Realism is a key to reveal the true essence of life, and it has to depict it the way it is without camouflaging or decorating life’s flaws; ï‚ ·History is a great teacher and is to be used as an allegory to current events in order to give a lesson, not to fascinate. Famous Paintings The first works of the artist comprised Odalisque and Lelia (1842) which were created as an inspiration from Hugo’s and Sand’s writings. Two years later, he decided to exclude himself from such influences and create ‘art for the sake of art’ by changing his style to complete Realism. His next works were Self-Portrait with Black Dog, The Sculptor, and in 1845 he produced Desperate Man and, three years later, The Man with a Pipe. Apart from working on portraits and life situations depiction, Gustave was also known for painting magnificent landscapes and rural life sceneries which were mostly inspired by his town, Ornans (After Dinner At Ornans, 1849) and his constant travels through Belgium and the Netherlands. At the beginning of the 50s, the painter’s most famous pictures Peasants of Flagey, The Stone Breakers, and A Burial at Ornans established his name and enrolled him to a list of most influential artists of the time. Those works opened a new dimension of Realism that was gruesome and factual since all scenes were a subject of historical significance. Even though later Courbet didn’t get as much attention as for his previous pictures, he still was at the peak of popularity for producing The Sleeping Spinner (1853), Young Ladies on the Banks of the Seine (1857), Sleep (1866) and a series of historical paintings. .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 , .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .postImageUrl , .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 , .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80:hover , .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80:visited , .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80:active { border:0!important; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80:active , .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80 .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ud4457dacb00754c08756fe6f88c06b80:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Henri Toulouse LautrecThe Stone Breakers It is the first Courbet’s acknowledged work displayed in 1849. The picture shows a couple of workers, a young boy and a senior man, who mine stones while resembling monuments themselves. The social implication of the painting is the distress and relentlessness felt by the artist towards high social classes and the mercy alongside pity towards mere blue-collars. The Origin of the World Painted in 1866, the picture is only one of the many artist’s works depicting nude female body parts. First banned for its profanity, it has roamed through different private collections from the 1870s to 1995. Even though the work doesn’t seem to have any social implication or, depict a historically significant subject, it’s seen as a masterpiece of copying techniques since it resembles famous works of Titian and Caravaggio. Some critics believe that the painting is an attempt of Courbet to discard the long-lasting question of human existence and origin and to amplify the female role in the French society of the 1800s. The Desperate Man The Desperate Man is a self-portrait 1845 painting that designates the artist’s transition from Romanticism to Realism. Depicting himself who stares back at a viewer, Courbet tries to tell the audience his story as a young Parisian painter that has brought him to despair and possible insanity. Here, the author is ready to question the very nature of art, fight against canons and follow his one and only goal – to liberate artists from the chains of social and public influences. The Burial at Ornans This 20-foot-long picture is a definite magnum opus of Gustave Courbet. No wonder, this work caused furor back in the days. For order by the Parisian City Counsel to be presented at an 1851 exhibition, the artist depicts scenery of a middle-class funeral with portraits of ‘vulgar’ and ‘inappropriately looking’ people. While painting everything black and incorporating sadness as the main instrument on the picture, Gustave Courbet officially entered the domain of Realism. The Sleepers The Sleepers is another specimen of Courbet’s series nudities. The picture was painted in 1866 and was banned right away till the end of 1988. The work depicts two women petting on a bed while they are surrounded by expensive pieces of jewelry. The significance of the picture is in the absence of romantic and mythological subjects like Cupid, seashells, etc. making this artwork distaste for that time.
