Scott Peterson Speaks for the First Time in Decades: See Footage.
Scott Peterson, the man whose name became synonymous with one of the most notorious murder cases of the early 2000s, is breaking his silence after more than two decades. In a new three-part docuseries, Face to Face with Scott Peterson, Peterson will give his first on-camera comments since his conviction for the murder of his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Conner.
As detailed in a press release for the upcoming series, "It was a case that captivated the country. At eight months pregnant, Laci Peterson went missing on Christmas Eve, 2002. As the investigation unfolded, her husband, Scott, was revealed to be a liar, a cheater, and ultimately a murderer. The world’s media hung on every moment of the trial, and Scott was convicted and sentenced to death. Case closed. Or is it?"
While many still believe the jury’s verdict was correct, Scott’s family, along with experts close to the case, have spent over two decades pursuing new information. They are determined to uncover inconsistencies in the evidence and explore alternative theories surrounding Laci’s death, according to the release.
The docuseries' teaser trailer, which you can view above, shows Director Shareen Anderson asking Scott Peterson, via video chat, why anyone should care about his side of the story today. The full answer is promised in the series premiere on August 20.
