Scott Peterson was convicted in 2005 of murdering his pregnant wife Laci in 2002. He remains on Death Row in 2017, although appeals continue. The circumstantial evidence and the attempts to dispose of the body supported the prosecution's theory of her murder. There was only tenuous physical evidence to suggest Scott as her killer.

Does anyone think Scott Peterson will confess?

The likelihood that Scott Peterson will confess is extremely small. Peterson's personality type dictates that he stick to his story. He has his staunch supporters (his mother for one) and the facade must be maintained. Peterson is laboring under the illusion that just because he says it, that makes it true. Unfortunately, this does not change the facts. The only illusion Scott Peterson ever had was that being innocent meant he could never be convicted. Like many more, he has now found out that this is not true. The state spent $11 million, including $1 million on a search of the bay which proved, like the rest of the evidence, that his wife's body was not there at that time. The only 'evidence' the state ever offered against him was that he knew Laci Peterson. Nothing else was ever proven. None of the evidence fits the state's case or any variation of it. All of the evidence fits a failed fetal abduction. Scott Peterson cannot offer any evidence about the crime since he knows nothing about it. In this he is joined by the Modesto PD who ignored all evidence which led away from him - which was all that there was. Scott Peterson cannot confess because he is not guilty.


Is Scott Peterson innocent?

In real life there are very few true coincidences. For the circumstantial evidence in the Peterson case to be random and/or pure chance is ridiculous. The odds are astromnomical in fact. Peterson is exactly where he deserves to be. In a criminal case, circumstantial evidence, especially when there is much of it, is just as damning as physical evidence. It is given great weight in the courtroom, as it should be. There is no mystery to the Peterson case. The only person that would have benefited from Lacy and Conner's deaths was Scott Peterson. He never wanted to be a father, and he never acted like a husband either. He was a ticking timebomb and Lacy's pregnancy was the catylist that detonated it.
