By all accounts, Scott Peterson had a high-powered, experienced defense team. His parents were able to pay the price and they got a "big name" attorney. In all my research and of the 5 books on the Peterson case that I have personally read, all evidence waspresented at trial.
Unfortunately for Peterson, as the prosecution proceeded into the case, it was very difficult even for a defense team like Peterson's, to refute the facts. The prosecution built the case and presented it piece by piece, or should I say brick by brick, and those bricks could not be brought down by the defense, it was just too strong.
The biggest brick of all was one of Peterson's own making, and her name was Amber Frey. Some people think that circumstancial evidence is unimportant and should be disreguarded. Nothing could be further from the truth. Circumstancial evidence can be very damning, and for Scott Peterson it most certainly was.
