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.

Ahh so you trust a police patsy? Amber was a poor massage therapist and surely made a killing (no pun intended) from this charade. I don’t trust her farther than I can spit.

I’m not saying Scott is Husband of the Year. He isn’t but the entire trial weighed on the testimony of Amber Frey. I never liked or trusted Amber or thought she was being honest.

I also always believed Scott was innocent. It makes no sense why he wouldn’t confess after all these years since he was sentenced to life anyway. I don’t think he was a sociopath who would dismember and behead his wife and wrap twine around his sons neck without leaving a trace.

I think Laci was being nosy and walked in to the confront the house robbers across the street and they kidnapped her.

You think an 8 month pregnant woman is going to investigate a possible crime alone? She could walk back home and call the police?

I just don’t buy that marine life and anchors could do all of that and tie twine tightly around the baby’s neck. That all sounds like it was done before they were dumped in the bay. A 160 lb Laci would wash up on the bay if she were in one piece. The sick bastard or bastards that did this really made sure the body was cut up so it wouldn’t wash up to shore quickly.

The state shut down any forensics pathologists who said Lacis body was not butchered by marine life or water

You’re ignoring evidence that doesn’t support your theory.

Scott also didn’t offer up this well known tradition as the reason he would have been fishing.

I do. People don’t always have the instincts they should have. Recently, an older woman in Sterling was run over and killed after she tried to confront the guy who was stealing her car.

Yes, It's a tradition to coincidentally fish where your wife's body was dumped. It is more efficient than driving to a different body of water for the fishing.

It was broadcast everywhere that he was fishing there and the cops were heavily focused on him. That could have made it the perfect place for the killer to dump the body after the fact.

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.

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.

Scott can be a sociopath who did not care about Laci and Conner without necessarily being the killer. No one wants to go to prison. Fleeing because you fear prison means you fear prison. It doesn’t mean you definitely did the crime. I don’t know whether he did it. I’m not arguing that he’s innocent. I don’t think the state made their case and I don’t like the opposition to most of the DNA testing. I realize there are people in this thread arguing that he’s without a doubt not guilty and saying nasty things about Amber Frey. I’m not on board with that. At all. I just have some doubt and would like to see the testing done.
