If I remember correctly, the prevailing opinion was that he was guilty. It was a very public case. I could see an innocent person running in that situation. He had had an affair, which made him look guilty, even though all the evidence against him was circumstantial.



Including the fact that he told his ap his wife was dead shortly before she disappeared.

There's a show about the case that is all about defending him. I watched a couple eps on Hulu. I stopped because I think he's guilty, but obviously there are people who defend him. I find it hard to believe.

Yeah, this sums it up. It was all circumstantial, which is often enough to convict and was in this instance. I wonder what the defense will be or what new evidence was uncovered. The only somewhat plausible defense from my recollection was that there were a history of recent break-ins in the neighborhood around the time of her murder and these were committed by two really sketchy guys. Something to that effect.

Hard to believe with the boat purchase, the anchors, where the body was found....

The Innocence Project does such fabulous work!

Certainly hope they can free Scott from unjust imprisonment as soon as possible.

Interesting. I can't see any scenario where Scott is innocent, but I look forward to hearing more.

Certainly going to be fascinating to learn what new evidence there is.

Interesting. I'll be keeping an eye on it. They must have something that makes them think hes innocent.

Not many details yet, but I always assumed he was guilty. For the Innocence Project to get involved does that give anyone else pause to think...."hmmm maybe he is innocent?" If not Scott then the last 20 years have been wasted with any possible suspects being long gone.
