I know that Scott Peterson did a lot of questionable things during his wife’s Laci’s disappearance as well as after her + Conner’s death.
First he claimed he played golf, then he said he actually went fishing. He bought a new boat and Laci & Conner’s dead bodies were discovered in the area where he had been fishing. It was also strange how he tried to sell his house as well as Laci’s vehicle shortly afterward. And of course, having an affair while your wife is due to have your first baby is not a good look at all. However, these are ALL circumstantial things. Sure Scott is a lying, cheating rat of a husband. But to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt would be actual evidence presented linking him directly to the crime. Not simply basing his conviction on his nefarious behavior. |
Luckily the legal standard isn't "actual" evidence. |
Keep in mind that reasonable doubt doesn’t mean all doubt. I think he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. |

On what obscure planet are these people living on where Scott Peterson and the Ramseys are innocent?!
Sell me a space ship so I can go there in live in oblivion. |
They had a first year philosophy course and discovered Descartes, nothing exists and nothing is certain. |
| I wish they would publicly reveal any “new” evidence discovered. |
He and Laci could have been in a bad stage in their marriage. Perhaps they were staying together temporarily because she was expecting. This could explain his affair and his seemingly blasé attitude after she disappeared. And while his actions made him appear suspect to some people, they do not necessarily point to him as a cold blooded murderer. Playing Devil’s Advocate here, while I feel Scott likely did kill his wife, I don’t know as a juror on his case if the evidence was strong enough to put him behind bars. |

What a tremendous waste of LAIP funds. Will not donate to this local project again.

Why on earth would any killer go thru the trouble of abducting a heavily pregnant woman and taking her out to sea to dispose of her body? A random killer would’ve left her in the house |
You clearly know nothing whatsoever about The Innocence Project. |
Because tweakers. Apparently, they are completely unpredictable and do random things. I hear OJ is still looking for his tweakers. |
They should reopen the case of the family who died hiking in California. It was probably tweakers. |
I’ve sat on several juries (DC resident, not a lawyer; they love me) and have been reminded several times that circumstantial evidence IS actual evidence. It isn’t a lesser kind of evidence; it just involves more dot-connection. Hardly any crimes are solved based on direct evidence, eg eye witness testimony or video of the crime. |
| Tweakers are lazy. They would not go to the trouble of dumping Lacy in the ocean. Scott 100% is guilty. He had motive. Everything he did adds up to his guilt. |
