- If convicted killer Scott Peterson is innocent as the formidable group the Innocence Project believes, then what kind of evidence could they have to make their case that he didn't kill his wife Laci and their unborn son in 2002? NewsNation national correspondent Laura Ingle and NewsNation legal analyst Sara Azari, a criminal trial attorney and host of "The Presumption" podcast, join “CUOMO” to discuss.

A lot on naysayers here. How about lets wait to see the evidence and case before determining anything?
Agree. Innocence project must have good reasons to be testing this. let them.
We heard evidence at the trial. He is guilty. He lied about everything.
Blue on,
Apparently not all the evidence was heard🤷🏿♂️
@@bluemoon2675, a liar does not necessarily mean a guilty person exists.
Otherwise, we'd all be murderers.
@bluemoon2675
His lies were to and about Amber. He did not lie about everything. You think it would be wise for him to reveal to police a fling with a girl when his wife goes missing? Look what happened when the public found out about her. They automatically believed he was guilty and lost all support. People were no longer looking do Laci, and police hitched the case from the beginning.
I am not saying if he is guilty or innocent, but at the time I remember being curious as to how he could be given the death penalty based on circumstantial evidence.
One of the Jurors said what cinched it for them was that Lacey’s body washed up not far from where he was “fishing”.
@@MsRotorwings It obviously looks very compelling, but it is still circumstantial. The number of people who have been found guilty in this manner, and are later proven innocent is disturbing to me. Again, I am not trying argue that he is innocent. I am not discounting the possibility though.
@@MsRotorwings
Laci had two ribs fractured at the time of death or shortly thereafter that is not consistent with the whole "soft kill" theory. Her shoulder bone was injured well after death. Then, there is the missing neck, which isn't consistent with any known disarticulation in aqueous environments. How about Laci's uterus that was at least 10 cm smaller than it should have been? So that explains the incision to remove Conner. The injured 9th rib, also postmortemis in the same location where such an incision would have been made. To top it off. Scott couldn't have killed Laci. Conners GA is proof of that. Conner was determined to be alive until Jan 3rd by both the States expert and the Medical examiner? Furthermore, Dr Charles March testified there is no way that Scott and Laci Peterson's unborn baby could have died any earlier than Dec. 29, 2002. Dr Alison Galloway the States own expert and forensic anthropologist, determined the baby could have even been alive as far along as Jan 14th. How is he guilty if Laci was alive after the 24th?
@@Ottawa411 most cases are circumstantial. A case being entirely circumstantial does not mean that it isn’t a strong case.
The first cause of death in pregnant women in the USA is murder by the sperm provider. Look it up.
Cheating doesn't make a killer. Cops not doing their due diligence happens more often than you would hope or think.
No person should be locked up for something they didn't do.
I don’t know if he’s guilty or not but it’s hard to remember a case so poorly handled. Ignoring/hiding exculpatory evidence?
If Laci’s DNA was in that burned van, and the LA Innocence Project proves it, how much do you want to bet all these angry people in the comments who know he’s guilty won’t change their minds. It’s mental how unwilling people are to change their minds in the face of scientific proof.
@@steelhurricane4041 He did it.
@charlotteinfj4412
No evidence Scott transferred Laci's body from the truck to the boat in broad daylight? And why didn't a single witness see or hear him killing Laci or transporting her body anywhere?
All forensic testing came back negative for biological evidence of a dead body in any alleged crime scene? They even tested the water in the boat, negative results.

Conners body was above the water break and high tide line if he was in the ocean? his left ear get permanently flattened against his head, and a rectangular piece of material was over it?
No animal feeding on Conner whatsoever?
Plastic wrap get knotted around his neck that had to be cut off, not far from a plastic bag which was never tested? Dr. Cyril Wecht, who examined Conner's body but who did not testify, told Greta van Susteren that Conner's head measured 28 cm circumference and his neck measured 20 cm (On the Record, October 27, 2004). 28 cm = 11.02360 inches; 20 cm = 7.87400 inches. He confirmed the measurements in another interview with Fox News, and expressed his disbelief that the twine accidentally wrapped around Conner's neck. He also conjectured about the baby being in a bag.
Laci's uterus was at least 10 cm (3.9") smaller than it should have been? Certainly explains why the incision to remove Conner was not visible on her body, and the injured 9th rib, postmortem injury is in the same location where such an incision would have been made.
Police ignored evidence, tips and sightings that point in a completely different direction.
Isn't it standard police practice to track down a missing person's last known whereabouts? It's not like they didn't have credible eyewitnesses that seen her walking on the 24th. Some called multiple times. Police ignored them. Sounds like tunnel vision and incompetence led to her death since the science proves she was alive after that day.
No cadaver scent of Laci being dead in the boat, warehouse, truck, or home.
Nobody has to be "floored". If innocence project thinks there is something to be checked .. I support them.
Why did Scott have a disguise with $12,000 in cash at the Mexican border? Innocent people don't run!
It’s not the innocence project. It’s the Los Angeles innocence project. Different organization.
From the IP website:
The Innocence Project is a founding member (along with several longtime partners) of the Innocence Network, an affiliation of independent organizations working to overturn wrongful convictions and improve the criminal justice system.
The LAIP is one of three innocence projects, in the Innocence Network, in California. The NY based IP is not accepting cases in California. They refer anyone seeking assistance to contact their local, affiliated IPs.
@@valerierodger I keep telling people that and they still get it wrong.
LA Innocence project is not affiliated with the National Innocence project which refused to take Scott Peterson's case. LA Innocence project is only 2 years old and is affiliated with a 4th rate law school in the Los Angeles area.
Wrong
The Innocence Project is a founding member (along with several longtime partners) of the Innocence Network, an affiliation of independent organizations working to overturn wrongful convictions and improve the criminal justice system. The Los Angeles Innocence Project is part of these organizations.

That man is so guilty!! This is disgusting
How is he guilty?
@@mananimal3644 oh i followed the case when she dissappeared 15 yrs ago. There was massive information happening on this case so i think i believe he is guilty from then. It was so obvious then.
@@Mom99004have you watched the A&E special? It’s goes into detail about how the media spread misinformation and how the investigation ignored contradictory evidence and how the prosecutions case was circumstantial except hair. The boat being a secret was false. The main investigator ignored eye witness testimony placing Laci at the boat/warehouse. It was a Christmas surprise not a secret murder plot. They were wrong about her time of death, didn’t know where or how. And the motive itself was weak. He lied and cheated… but murder?
It will be interesting to see, if physical evidence proves Laci was in the burglars van, if anyone who “knows” he did it will stop to wonder if they actually based their knowledge off of misinformation, emotion and assumptions.
I feel bad for Laci’s family.
@mom8175
Might have seemed obvious if you listened to the media and public opinion.
Many are under the impression there was this insurmountable amount of circumstantial evidence. The truth is, there wasn't. The media played a huge part relaying things were simply not true or accurate. Not entirely all theories fault. Police were responsible for leaking things that were false. It creates baseless theories, and widespread conjecture.
Examples....
The prosecutions theory hinged on Laci being dumped in the bay. Their own expert could not explain why Laci or Conner where found where they were. He couldn't produce any scientific data to prove the States theory.
Conner was alive well after the 24th.
Conners body was above the water break and high tide line
No animal feeding on Conner.
Plastic wrap get knotted around his neck that had to be cut off, not far from a plastic bag which was never tested.
His left ear was permanently flattened against the head, and a rectangular piece of material was over his ear.
No evidence of Laci being dead in any alleged crime scene.
No cadaver scent of Laci being dead in the boat, warehouse, truck, or home.
No witnesses seen Scott transferring a body in broad daylight and no witnesses ever seen anything that could have been a body in the boat.
Laci's injuries or bodily conditions are not consistent with the State's theory.
Laci's uterus was at least 10 cm (3.9") smaller than it should have been? Certainly explains why the incision to remove Conner was not visible on her body, and the injured 9th rib, postmortem injury is in the same location where such an incision would have been made.
Laci's 4th, 5th, and 6th cervical vertebrae were missing. The State had no explanation for this.
Yhe vertebrae column will not disarticulate.
The SF Medical examine told the lead detective that it would be highly unlikely that 32 lbs would submerge the body. It would just float. He also said the currents would likely take the body out to sea. She was found nearly 4 months later. How do currents flowing Southbound at 4 knots place either body where they were found.
No evidence proving Scott made more than a single anchor. Detective Brocchini was more than happy to fabricate that lie. Media ran with it.
Evidence concludes Laci was alive and dismembered. Conner was handled well after her disappearance. Unless someone can give a compelling explanation as to how SP committed this murder with these facts alone, I would love to hear it.

He sold her car before she was found
So that makes him guilty?
@@mananimal3644, exactly.
Sure, the guy's a narcissist, so that's what narcissist's do. He could have thought she was dead. He's probably a sociopath too. But there are a _lot_ of those types of people walking around, and most of them aren't murderers. I believe people wanted Scott hanged because he's so cold and void of emotion. And the fact that he cheated on his pregnant wife and lied throughout the process. But that also doesn't make him a murderer.
I don't even like the guy. He grew up a spoiled brat who had the luxury of playing golf at Torre Pines C.C. He had everything gifted to him. He's a smug narcissist/sociopath. But there was always something that bugged me about this case.
First, it was Nancy (dis)Grace's performance from almost day one that set me off. She found Peterson guilty from almost second one of this case. Which could have poisoned a potential jury pool, of course.
Then the police "accidentally" erased a jailhouse phone conversation between those burglars Lacy confronted and others that could have exonerated Peterson.
Then there's the eyewitnesses, plural, who all said they saw Lacy and her Golden Retriever walking a day _after_ she was alleged to have been killed.
And lastly, when the defense tried to perform a demonstration for the jury where the boat was concerned, they weren't allowed to present that evidence; the demonstration was how every time they tried to throw a fake body the same weight as Lacy's over that boat, that boat capsized. That wasn't allowed as evidence. But instead, they were allowed to perform the same task, only in the parking lot of the courthouse, where buoyancy wasn't a thing because it wasn't done in water but instead on asphalt. Which, of course, makes the outcome different.
Sure, the guy _looks_ guilty. But that doesn't mean he _is_ guilty. Other than just being a bad human being. And the last time I checked, that's still not a crime, although lately, it sure seems like we're pushing for it.
@@mananimal3644 umm why would you do that while your wife is missing he was trying to get rid of the house too once he was on the cops radar I think someone told him to get rid of assets not his of course
Out of necessity because the Modesto PD refused to return his truck to him. Laci hated that Land Rover anyway. They were planning on selling it and getting her a newer vehicle.
They had his truck for work and he sold her car bc he still needed to work
Speaking of reputations
Lol I was thinking that too
I still thinks he’s guilty, but I don’t trust law enforcement in these high profile cases. They are under tremendous pressure to make an arrest and will take the path of least resistance. Any evidence undermining their narrative will be ignored.
The MPD was incompetent.
The lead detective ( Grogan )in this case, even testified
" Laci sightings were not a priority ".
Pwc. SP
"In the area within a 1 mile radius of Laci’s house there were 26 sightings. Within a 3 mile radius, there were an additional 7. This is a total of 33. What possible excuse did MPD have for not investigating each and every one of these sightings to determine exactly what was seen by each of the witnesses?
Grogan excuses the MPD failure to follow up on tips by citing Karen Servas’ 10:18 timeline for finding McK. Even if Karen Servas’ timeline were accurate, which it is not, MPD did not have information about her reinvented timeline until January 3. The detectives did nothing to confirm that her time source was valid.
Grogan also says tips were not followed up because phone records indicate that Scott was still in his neighborhood at 10:08. This theory did not take shape until shortly before trial. Two prosecution witnesses stated that cell phone records were not designed to be used to identify location.
Grogan also uses the excuse that tips were not investigated because witnesses reported Laci wearing black pants and her body was found wearing tan pants. MPD did not have this information until mid-April when Laci’s body was found.
Then Grogan indicates that sightings outside of the park were discounted because Laci was planning to walk in the park. This is blatantly false and Grogan knew it. Grogan had been present on December 26 when Chris Boyer interviewed Scott Peterson at his home. Scott clearly stated that Laci sometimes walked in the neighborhood. He told Boyer, in Grogan’s presence that Laci had walked on Sunday, December 22, in the neighborhood."
The police did not follow the leads. Once Amber Frye came forward, it was all over for Scott. This man was sentenced to death, because he cheated on his wife. The burglary happened across the street, at the same time Laci disappeared. None of the witnesses who called in, to say they say her walking the dog, were followed up with. None were brought in for questioning. The police gave the press the info of where Scott when fishing.. Perfect place for someone to dump the bodies. Now, we are hearing of a van that was found, burned, with human blood in it, soon after she disappeared.. By the way, a van was used in the burglary across the street. Scott was arrested at a golf course. Yet they said he was leaving the country.. That makes sense.. I'm going to flea but stop to play golf first. Scott was railroaded and thankfully, the death sentence was overturned. I hope Scott gets justice, and I hope there's justice for Laci and Connor too.
The burglary happened on the 26th.
The van that was seen that supposedly belonged to the burglars was described as white. The burned out van was orange. Do you think the burglars threw a coat of paint on it before they set it on fire?
😂😂😂
@sophie8394 The burglary did not happen on the 26th.
Mark Geragos: Okay. And then he said that, what was on the call sheet was that she witnessed a burglary on Covena, correct? 459 is a Penal Code Section for burglary?
Craig Grogan: Yes.
Mark Geragos: On 12:24 at 11:40 a.m.?
Craig Grogan: That's what it says.
Mark Geragos: Okay. And she said she saw the van and the safe being removed from the house, correct?
Craig Grogan: That's what it says.
FLADAGER: The reports, in the course of that interview, is there any indication at all by Miss Jackson that she said she saw a safe?
GROGAN: No.
FLADAGER: Is there any indication at all in that interview that Ms. Jackson claimed to have witnessed a burglary?
GROGAN: No. It indicates that she made observations. And then she heard about the burglary and thought that the two individuals or these other vehicles and the burglary may be related.
FLADAGER: Is that because she saw a van?
GROGAN: Yes, it appears so.
FLADAGER: And that she saw three short, dark-skinned males by the van?
GROGAN: Yes.
FLADAGER: In the video that we saw of the traffic on Covena and on La Loma and Encina, do you recall seeing a number of different vans driving around in the traffic?
GROGAN: Yes, I think there is a few of them.

Lol. It's right in the tip. Why are you posting that BS AGAIN!

On December 27th, 2002 at 1830 hours, I received information from Detective Blom and police clerk Gallagher of information on this burglary. I was provided with a copy of the police report along with a separate typed page that indicated that at 1610 hours on 12-27-02, a Diane Jackson (via Sergeant Ed Steele) said she witnessed the 459 (the California burglary statute) on Covena on 12-24-02 at 1140 hours. She saw the van and a safe being removed from the house.
He was texting his girlfriend during his dead pregnant wife’s public vigil.
Being a cheater doesn't make you a murderer.
Actually called her and said he was in paris and the crowd was tourists. The crowd was the mourners at the vigil!
No that guy needs to stay right where he is
Yes, he was in Paris! I remember!
So that is conclusive evidence he murdered his wife?
Aren't there more deserving people who they should be working to free?
Well I think so. Peterson was a slam dunk!
Click bait the Innocence Project did not pickup this case the LA Innocence Project did 2 different organizations
The Innocence Project isn’t accepting cases in Arizona, California, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. They direct those requesting assistance in those states to contact their local IP organizations.
From their website:
The crime occurred in the United States, but not in: Arizona, California, Illinois, Michigan, or Ohio. Our intake is currently closed to these states. Please write to the local innocence organizations in those states for assistance.
The LAIP is a member of the Innocence Project Network. One of 70 operating in every state and 12 other countries.
On January 18, 2024, the Los Angeles Innocence Project filed motions seeking DNA testing and post-conviction discovery on behalf of its client, Scott Peterson. Any and all inquiries about Mr. Peterson’s case should be directed to the Los Angeles Innocence Project, a non-profit organization wholly independent of the Innocence Project.

Apparently some people don’t understand that the New York based IP cannot answer questions pertaining to the Scott Peterson case. Hence why they put out a statement. Likely because they had a lot of kooks bothering them.
He is guilty. So much evidence. I can’t believe the innocent project is taking this caes
How is he guilty?
Just because the MSM said it, doesn't make it TRUE.
Motivation, method and mendacity well-established at trial.@@mananimal3644
No evidence. No dna. No confession.
There was blood and hair DNA evidence. You and his original lawyer may deny it but the Innocence project actually wants more testing so you will have to reverse your lies to support your boy.@@spencer_jackson542
I think people can't see the reason behind this recent action, because their emotions prevents them from doing so,which is understandable btw.
Now just to clarify... I think he's guilty and the jury got it right... however, if their guilty verdict was reached based upon misinformation or corruption or bad science then, it's not a fair and true verdict.
We don't want murders to walk free but we don't innocent people locked up either!!!
we can't be happy or comfortable to convict people on faulty evidence, errors or corruption...
This is how we protect people who are truly innocent from wrongful convictions, we must have some way to protect them,
we must have the highest standards in seeking a conviction, even if it means that we don't get the verdict we want.
This isn't about defending murders...it's about protecting the innocent and about protecting and ensuring freedom and true justice...
Scott may be guilty of murder but not every person who is accused and convicted is guilty, and it's those people, who we need to protect.
It's a very dangerous precedent to lower the high standard required to covict in order to achieve the outcome we want, we must not go down that road.
If his case meets the standard for retrial then, he should have a retrial and those of us who believe he is guilty, shouldn't fear that process,
because if the evidence is legitimate then it should stand up to the test again, if not then whether we like it or not, he shouldn't have been found guilty.. even if we "know" he did it.
There must be enough evidence to prove that verdict again, which I believe there is, we must do things right.
We must protect freedom, fairness and justice above all things and not allow our standards to be lowered for a desired outcome thats not true justice, we must meet the standard necessary to remove a person's freedom and life from them this is why they are doing this.
Inadmissable evidence to Jury's. I believe Juries should see all evidence.

Great explanation of this case and others like it.
Thank you for this thoughtful post. I wish the dyed-in-the-wool SP supporters who deem him to be innocent would be mature, fair and respectful of varying opinions, then we wouldn't have to bypass the truly obnoxious and meanspirited ones that permeate these channels. It gets tedious.

"In almost half of the cases that the Innocence Project takes on, the clients' guilt is reconfirmed by DNA testing. Of all the cases taken on by the Innocence Project so far, about 43% of clients were proven innocent, 42% were confirmed guilty, and evidence was inconclusive and not probative in 15% of cases."

They didn't. The LA Innocence Project did.
That’s not how it works. They look at whether or not, there is new evidence that may exonerate somebody. They are roughly equally as likely to confirm a conviction as to exonerate.

Sara forgot to put in Scott's state anf federal constitutional rights were violated. When you're taken to the police station for questioning you're told you're Miranda rights and you have to sign a form because you don't have a lawyer present.
Scott is guilty no doubt
I don’t think burglars are murders , not accusing anyone, just saying
But can be. Just saying.
How did Laci get into the bay? If whoever killed her wanted to frame Scott - they would have put her on the shore not in the bay with weights. They would not have known she would have washed up to the shore 4 months later. Also they would need a boat.

@@Silence_Duder_Gooder Ah, thanks for clarifying. My bad.

Reputation matters
So do facts
It’s an Innocence Project, just like the 70 other Innocence Projects inside and outside the US that are members of the Innocence Network. Affiliated, but operate independently from each other.
Also a lot of exculpatory evidence was hidden and wiped under the rug by the prosecution. Such as the sightings of Lacy walking the dog that gave Peterson an alibi, or it being nearly impossible to dump a body weighed down with anchors in the water in broad daylight from that tiny boat which would capsize if you lean over the side with a weighed down body... That is why prosecution refused to replicate the tiny boat body dumping scenario for starters...The cadaver dog evidence was also highly questionable. All you have to sent Peterson to death row is that he is a lying adulterer pos. We would atleast have to send half of the world to death row if those are the requirements.
Why didn't Geragos follow up on the sightings of Laci and the dog?
I hope I get picked for the Jury because I dont believe Innocent Project has a full deck...Peterson is guilty.
dk how that works, if there will be a new jury
Maybe you don't know what they know.
@@aok4418 C'mon man?, this could have been on "Columbo" 1970s episode....and Lt Columbo would have asked " why would you go fishing on Christmas Eve?"...I can see Lt Columbo standing at the vigil, and then have convicted murderer' Peterson phone tower records in hand, who he called, and the Christmas photo with Amber Frey....Convicted Murderer Peterson was done with his wife, but she didn't know it................add all of the items surrounding her disapperance( like why wasn't Convicted Murderer Peterson with Amber Frey ...........................on Christmas Eve? Because he had to go fishing......!!!!!!!!
@@MarsAveSo
All of that, and you didn't list a single incriminating thing.
@@MarsAveSopeople do go out on Christmas Eve.
He’s guilty of a lot of stuff like being a POS but he did not do this. I’ve been saying it forever!
He did it. No evidence on anyone else.
I've always believed he was wrongfully convicted.
Me too, and I don't even like the guy.
Nothing at all points to anyone but him and he is a liar and circumstances sure make it seem like him. Why would it be wrongfully?
@@blackjesus804, because the police screwed the pooch; that's why. They got tunnel vision; they got lazy; that's why.
I've seen other cases that also seemed like slam dunks that turned out to be wrong. So this isn't a new phenomenon or anything.
The media had him guilty from day one, especially their lead mouthpiece, Nancy (dis)Grace. Also, this was not long after the O.J. case, and people were still raw about the outcome of that case and still wanted their pound of flesh. And Scott was a good choice, because he was a Cad, to be sure.
A perfect scapegoat.
Me too.
@@blackjesus804Because he didn't kill his wife. Wouldn't you call it wrongfully?
what follow ups stemmed froom inter view
I think the innocence project should first have the defendant take a lie detector test first before they represent them.
They aren’t reliable. Not admissible for trial. If they did that in order to take his case, they would have to do it on every case. With the unreliability of the test, that would totally screw up the LAIP program. Horrible idea.
U don’t need one to know he’s guilty tho
🤣
Right... a lie detector that is most often inconclusive and has no way of detecting if someone is lying. C'mon!
@@aok4418 have you done research on it??
I hope you happy with her 😢 Chris 🖤
Innocence project: an extraneous hair, for instance, could come from anywhere, totally unrelated to the murder. People they get out sometimes murder again.
And sometimes the innocent go to jail.
When the innocence project takes on a case, it is about as lkely that the conviction will be confirmed as it is that the defendant will be exonerated, with a small percentage remaining undetermined.
Guilty then. . .guilty now!
is this the one where he is a horrible husband and there are four witnesses that see her walking her dog, proving him innocent? is this the one where one of the robbery crew she interrupted bragged about killing her then framing the horrible husband by dumping her where he had been?
There were over a dozen witnesses that had scene Laci after Scott left. Police ignored them. At least 10 of those witnesses described her down even to the breed of her dog.
Here is one one witness.
who lived in Modesto, saw something that really concerned him near the corner of Scenic Drive and Claus Road as he was driving with Elizabeth Harshman between 2 and 4 p.m. on the afternoon of December 24. He saw a young pregnant woman being forced into a van. After driving past this scene, Harshman was so upset that he turned around and went back to the spot hoping to find the van still there and hoping to get more information about the license plate number. Tge DA tried to hide this information and police did not follow up.
He called police (911 MPD) that same day.
Tried again December 28.
December 28, he also called the Laci tip line twice. His first call on this date was listed incorrectly under the name Harsh and was given Bates Stamp number 14789. The call was given to Detective Holmes. Harsh(man) said that he had called 3 or 4 days earlier on the day that he had seen a pregnant young woman being pushed into a van. There had been a man standing over her as she squatted to urinate with her back up against a chain-link fence. The man was described as 30’s, tall, thin, with ponytail, dirty blonde to gray hair, scrubby looking. When she finished, the woman was shepherded back to the driver’s door of the car, where another man’s arm was seen pulling her into the car. He said the young woman was wearing black pants and a red shirt. He said she had a scared look on her face."
Jan 3rd, he went to the Command Post in the park and relayed this to the officer on duty. Over
40,000 pages in the discovery and nothing about this report was in it.
February 2003, Harshman’s wife spoke to a relative of hers who lived in New York about the sighting of Laci Peterson near the corner of Scenic and Claus. Mrs. Harshman’s relative shared this story with an NYPD detective. This NYPD detective was so concerned that he contacted the MPD and spoke personally to Detective Grogan on February 14, 2003. What did Grogan do with the information? Nothing at all.
Pre-trial hearings in May of 2004, DA Investigator Kevin Bertalotto noticed the Harshman tip and insisted that Grogan call Tom Harshman and speak to him personally. Grogan did this on May 18, 2004.
It wasn't her. There was an another pregant women in the area, also with a dog. It's not "over a dozen witnesses" like some wants you to believe, it was a women who got confused with the date.
@@charlotteinfj4412
They couldn't find another woman who walked that day that could have been mistaken for Laci. Police lied.
@@aok4418 There was another pregnant women. The police didn't lied and even one of his sister said he is a psycho.
@@charlotteinfj4412 Who was it? Go ahead and provide the name of this woman.
He kills his wife and baby and he wants to take off to Mexico to hide because he was innocent😂😂😂
@@foad2286 I'm not lying he changed his hair to blonde his parents gave him $15,000 or something in cash and his car was packed you think what you want and that's ok
@@foad2286 maybe every movie is wrong I don't know that's all they showed on the movie was he was at the Mexico border you might be right I don't know
Presumptive or assumptive evidence ca evidence code 600 to 800 sections can be admissable in a trial. In my opinion starie decisis let the decision stand
Regardless of guilty or not guilty in this matter, I think as I look back on how that case was handled, media wise, how all this information was out there daily similar to OJ though this did not allow cameras it did have personalities on tv EVERY NIGHT on Larry King, like Nancy Grace and others who were basically doing their own case on TV commenting on his demeanor and actions and body language in the court room or during an interview etc...all this while the JURY was not sequestered they were in constant contact with media, some were dismissed, one who was an alternate who was put in, she seemed like she had a personal vendetta to get him no matter what, in an interview outside the court after the verdict, she said "we got you Scott" sorry but that is an issue of "fair trial" when you do 24/7 news coverage of it, guilty or not. The reason the death penalty was removed was certain jurors view of the death penalty coming into the case that had not been looked at. And also using things like his reactions and emotional conduct is not a way to judge, sorry, guilty or not you can't go on that. I mean Casey Anthony walked out free and she killed her daughter, and was clubbing while she was missing? So, we don't use a person's demeanor in one case but do in another?
He’s innocent ‼️
in his smiles in pictures there doesn't seem to be genuinely happy emotions behind the smiles. but i say that knowing he was convicted
He didn't do it💯
Well Cuomo, you should have deeply analyzed this case yourself. I have known he is innocent a long time.

So everyone forgot his lover ??? Guilty!! Sara is Chris favorite girl 🙃
I will always believe that Lacey was missing head/limbs due to those anchor weights..being tied to her neck and limbs and after time, animal activity, the tides and decomposition..they broke free..then baby Connor was expelled 😞 either during or after..I will never think
But, there was no evidence of additional anchors. Brocchini fabricated that nonsense. The media ran with it.
The Forensic Anthropologist also said this
Limbs
GERAGOS: And if I understand correctly, as far as Laci Peterson, your opinion that she was in a marine environment for three to six months. This disarticulation that you talk about, is that something that you have seen before?
GALLOWAY: Yes.
GERAGOS: And disarticulation basically just means that certain portions of the body end up being separated from the torso?
GALLOWAY: That's correct.
GERAGOS: Okay. And that happens as a natural phenomenon when -- or as a process of decomposition?
GALLOWAY: That's correct.
GERAGOS: And there is nothing that connects that necessarily to weights or anything else; isn't that correct?
GALLOWAY: As far as I know, there is nothing.
GERAGOS: There is nothing that connects --
GALLOWAY: That I have seen that would connect it to anything other than decomposition.
GERAGOS: Okay. And that's based upon your examination of the skeletal remains and the autopsy of the remains of Laci Peterson; is that correct?
GALLOWAY: That's correct.
😢😢😢😮
I always thought since day one this man was innocent.
Why don't you think he is guilty?
Since day one the police dismissed many leads to focus only on him.@@bluemoon2675
Why?
He told his lover he was a widow months before Lacey was even missing!

Nothing is a slam dunk
Scott Peterson is literally a better person than Trump LOL
I’d vote for either one over Biden
Move on Donald you weirdo
They are both better than Biden!
Gull dern troll infestation up in here. Yeee hawww
🤠
I'm a Trump supporter because he can bring down both evil political parties that only care about themselves and not the people. But sadly, most people don't want to help other people. So we have to tear down the system to rebuild. It's all too far gone. Similar structure, divided powers. But the whole system needs restructured which isn't possible with the current population.
Scott Peterson and The Anchor Project thank you.
Thank you to a double murderer and these enablers ??! What is wrong with you man ?
@@charlotteinfj4412
It doesn't make sense believe Scott was looking at $20.99 umbrella stand decorated in sunflowers, and a $6.99 fleece scarf from the Gap. And don't say say this was Scott. He didn't mention any of this to police.
Over a dozen eyewitnesses had seen Laci that day. Most of them described her and her dog. And NO, police did not find a pregnant woman that walked that day that could have been mistaken for Laci.
Then there is Russell Graybill, who told officers on 12-27-02 that the gate was open and McKenzie was not on the property when he delivered mail to their house between 10:35 and 10:50 that morning. The MPD claimed that Laci had gone missing before Karen Servas put the dog back in the yard and closed the gate. That information alone shows that Laci was walking McKenzie when Graybill devered the mail.
Otherwise, the gate would have been closed, and McKenzie would have been barking at him.
Free Scott
Innocent 💯 . Free scott now!! Frame job.
Framed by who?

They killed his wife and child?@@ScottPetersonandKarenReadarein
