The public opinion and even the police opinion is driven by the media unfortunately. People wanted to take the words of Amber very seriously as if she’s some moral paragon of virtue. She saw no problem with being a mistress to a married man with a pregnant wife at home |
He and Chris Watts remind me so much of each other. |
The murder of Laci Peterson on A&E and YouTube is a great watch. Breaks down the entire case via timeline |
Why do you think she was dismembered? She was strangled. The body was disposed in the water. The body decomposed. That’s it. |
I watched the series.
The only thing that gave me pause at all was the robbery across the street. The police should have spent more time on that. Their timeline seemed completely suspicious given that there would have been a huge police presence and media coverage all around the home on the day they say it occurred. There is no way burglars would do that. The police didn’t seem to do a thorough job there. I do think he’s guilty though. Who takes some crappy boat out by himself Christmas Eve all day when you have a pregnant wife at home? That’s just not normal behavior. And his wife’s body just so happens to wash up there? He had homemade anchors? Super sketchy. Also he claimed it was too cold for him to play golf like he said he was going to do. If it’s too cold for golf, it’s definitely too cold to go out on a boat. Also, he clearly was not a neat freak, so why did he wash his clothes as soon as he got home? Also, all of his calls to Amber after Laci’s death? Even a man cheating on his wife wouldn’t continue to call after all that happened. That was just weird. I’m so glad they got all that on tape. Memories fade, but those tapes are forever. I just wished the detectives tied up the loose ends with the robbery better. |
That’s an awful thing to say. Amber Frey didn’t know he was married, she thought he was widowed. As soon as she learned the truth, she contacted the police and started recording Scott and cooperating with them fully. She did absolutely nothing wrong and has been attacked relentlessly for years. That said, Scott’s cold, deceptive character as demonstrated on those tapes is likely why he was convicted. The jury hated him. We all hate him. He’s an awful person. I don’t know whether he’s guilty. I think I would vote to acquit because the prosecution proved he was a terrible person: a liar, a cheater, indifferent to Laci and Conner’s fate. But I don’t think the evidence proves that Scott killed Laci. I’m always suspicious when law enforcement resists DNA testing. It’s so much more advanced than it was at the time of the murder. If they really firmly believe Scott did it, they should want those results. A lot of the arguments in this thread show how personality based this conviction was. For example, if you need to hire an expensive attorney you might be looking at what you could sell. That Scott wanted to sell Laci’s car again demonstrates what a pig he is, but it’s not evidence of murder. |
His damning, cold-blooded words are on tape. The Scott defenders have a collective screw loose. |
What about him fleeing toward Mexico? Was he just in the mood for a vacation? I don't think so. The fact that he dyed his hair blond and fled toward Mexico supports a consciousness of guilt. If he were innocent, he would have been in Modesto supporting the investigation. But he's an arrogant prick who always has his nose in the air, even after 20 years in the slammer. He's an absolute pig, and he should rot in jail. |
NP. I think he did it. But I get why he has blonde hair. He was probably getting recognized everywhere he went and just probably wanted to get by unnoticed. He also spent a lot of time in San Diego with a sibling. So again, the fact that he was in San Diego was actually pretty normal for him at that point. There are enough other things that point to him being guilty, no need to grasp at straws. |
She didnt know he was married. He told her his wife was dead. |
I see no reason to drag Amber through the mud. She didn't know she was a mistress. She thought he was her boyfriend. He told her that he lost his wife and this would be the first Christmas without her, and that was before she was dead. And when she did know who he was because of all the media coverage, she went to the police and the audio recordings she helped to facilitate are likely a large part of why he is in prison today. |
+1. He watched too many episodes of Criminal Minds and thought he could write his own script. He could have just divorced Laci and paid child support. His kid would have been an adult by now. Moron x 1,000 000. |
Their families have a lot of similarities, too. Both choose not to believe the truth about what they did. |
What is the town of Modesto like? |
Dying his hair, using someone elses ID, carrying $15k in cash along with a giant bag of viagra while fleeing to mexico is not "grasping at straws". |
