This week we finish our 2 part series on the Scott Peterson trial. On December 24th, 2002 Laci Peterson was 8 ½ months pregnant, and she and husband Scott were preparing for the birth of their first son, Conner. Scott decided to go fishing for the day while Laci made preparations for Christmas festivities with family.
She disappeared that morning and was never seen alive again, the bodies of Laci and Conner found later in the San Francisco bay where Scott had been fishing that day.
We are taking a look at the events that led to Laci and Conner’s murder, the trial, and examining the facts of the case to decide once and for all whether Scott is innocent and wrongfully convicted or guilty and where he needs to be.
