LA Innocence Project takes up notorious case of convicted wife-killer Scott Peterson

[Anonymous]

Who could possibly believe this?

"Scott Peterson filing says Laci witnessed a crime and was killed to “shut her up,” and those responsible framed her husband."

I think he's as innocent as O.J. Simpson.

Publicity stunt.

There is a documentary about him— can’t remember what streaming service. It talks about how the house, like, right across the street was burgled the morning she went missing and no one really looked into a possible connection. I feel like there was something else too. I didn’t watch that closely but I remember thinking when I watched that it was pretty huge evidence. It did make me question his guilt.

I’m not questioning his guilt because I think he’s a good guy. I remember when this trial was on thinking that there should be some crime in just seeming so much like a guy who would kill his pregnant wife.

I saw the documentary a few years ago and I was swayed enough by it to consider his innocence. Im not certain he killed her nor am I certain he’s innocent but I’ll also be interested in what they uncover.

I used to work in a church alongside his SIL (Janey Peterson) who is always quoted in articles, defending that he would ever kill his wife Laci.

She was a very kind + seemingly logical woman who seemed stable emotionally to me, but I admit once Scott was accused of murder I believed that he did it & started questioning this woman’s common sense.

She moved from San Diego shortly after he was convicted but prior I do recall her saying only great things about Laci so I knew that she wasn’t biased in her belief.
At least that is what I hope!

Anyway I have always thought he was guilty but I also think it is a slippery slope to base guilt on circumstantial evidence only theoretically.

So I also look forward to any new developments in the case.

This group (the LA Innocence Project) is a spin-off group from the main, most well-known one and doesn’t necessarily have the same standards to take a case.

That doesn’t mean the LA group doesn’t have good reasons, but people are attributing extra credibility because they think “The” Innocence Project is advocating for him.

I felt the same way after watching the documentary ("The Murder of Laci Peterson") -- like, I think he's probably guilty, but I don't think the evidence proved he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; the jury was certainly swayed by the fact that he had an affair. While there are so many coincidences that point to his guilt, there are also a lot of things that seemingly were not followed up on by the police. I hope the Innocent Project will run these to ground.

This.

Such nonsense and a waste of resources

Scott Peterson’s entire family stood staunchly behind him all along. Larry King said that his father paid over 7 figures for Mark Geragos’s fees. I still remember the crowd jeering at the parents as they exited the courthouse after the verdict was announced.

His mom is a real jerk, and repeatedly degraded Laci's reputation and character. They deserve the jeers.

Even if this is the case the LAIP surely seems to be a respectably staffed organization, and not some schlock group of idiots - not that you are saying that. I doubt they would take on this case for publicity for example (as another PP claims). And they most certainly have other wrongfully incarcerated individuals who need their help and attention, so my only conclusion is they have good cause to at least seriously review the case.
