It's to increase their profile and raise money. Are there people in the prison system who were wrongly convicted? Sure. But there aren't enough of those truly just railroaded to keep these groups in business. So these organizations love to take on high profile cases that are decades old. They try to poke holes in evidence that was collected eons ago, and can make retrying the case very difficult, especially when the witnesses and the people who originally worked on the case for the government are long gone. It's a classic case of something that started with good intentions, but has become scam-like in order to sustain itself. See, also, the Southern Poverty Law Center.

• He told his GF, Amber Frey that his wife was “lost” on Dec. 9th so it is pretty clear to me that he was already planning Laci’s demise ahead of time. I don’t think this proves that. First, Scott slept with Amber only four times before Laci went missing. I find it hard to believe that he would have killed his 8 month pregnant wife over someone he just started sleeping with. I do understand that the “lost” language is damning, but men like Scott make up all kinds of tall tales to tell women what they want to hear. He was making up all kinds of crap, like details of European travel that never took place, and so on.
Also:
• It cannot be a mere coincidence that Laci and Conner’s bodies were found 90 min. away so close to where Scott claimed to have gone fishing the day Laci went missing.
I mean, c’mon.
The mere fact that the location was 1.5 hrs. away AND they were found……or rather washed up……so close to where Scott went fishing 🎣 is just too obvious. The body was found months later. Early on in the case, details were broadcast about his whereabouts, so it would have been very easy for whoever killed her to go dump the body there after the fact. They’ve interviewed the guy who saw Scott push his boat off the doc at the marina, and he’s say that Scott’s boat was empty.

There was a home invasion going on across the street. Laci was a victim of wrong place wrong time and so was Scott. Scott telling his mistress he’ll soon leave his wife and she will be gone soon doesn’t mean he killed her. It means he’s an Ahole and a cheater which lots of guys are

Will conclude the docuseries later on tonight when my Aunt comes over so we can watch it together.
I remember how everyone jumped to the assumption of him being guilty once it came to light that he was in an extramarital affair.
I admit - I jumped on that bandwagon too.
Now I am trying to watch the docuseries w/a more open + mature mindset.
I attended a Women’s Bible Study (in-home fellowship) at Scott Peterson’s older brother’s home in 1999-2000 where his SIL Janey was the leader in San Diego.
The home was lovely, they were living in it rent-free from his Dad.
Janey was very down-to-earth and her two sons (Elementary aged at the time) were extremely well-behaved for their age.
I haven’t spoken to their family since ‘00 when I stopped attending the Bible studies (due to college scheduling) but I heard through my church group that later on Janey became an attorney in order to help Scott.
They have long since moved from the house & thankfully no lookiloos ever drive by it.
It helps that the house is on the edge of a suburban culdesac.
My parents still live across the st.
In the docuseries I see that Janey is featured and that she is still standing by Scott.
I always liked her and found her not only a great Christian role-model for our church but also very levelheaded as well so am trying to be fair.
However certain things this doc shows have not painted Scott in a positive light.
