Scott Peterson Murder Case Revisited
20 Years Later, New Documentaries Re-Examine Evidence
In December 2002, 27-year-old Laci Peterson was eight months pregnant when she vanished from her Modesto, California, home. Ten weeks later, Laci's body washed ashore in San Francisco Bay, and her unborn son, Conner, was found nearby. Her husband, Scott Peterson, became the prime suspect and was subsequently convicted of murder in 2004.
Los Angeles Innocence Project Reopens Case
Two decades after the high-profile trial, the Los Angeles Innocence Project has re-opened the case, claiming that vital evidence was ignored or withheld during the original investigation. The organization is now working to exonerate Peterson, who has maintained his innocence throughout his imprisonment.
New Documentaries Shed Light on Controversies
In the wake of the Innocence Project's involvement, several documentaries have delved into the complexities of the Peterson case. These documentaries present new perspectives and raise questions about the original investigation and trial.
Key Points Raised in Documentaries:
- Allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and suppression of evidence
- Discrepancies in witness testimony and forensic evidence
- Potential involvement of other suspects who were not fully investigated
