Scott peterson why did he do it

Janey Peterson's theory is that Laci had a confrontation with men whom evidence shows were robbing the house across the street on the morning she went missing. That theory was part of Peterson's trial and his appeal but has previously been rejected by the court. The burglars denied any involvement in the case and were cleared by a police investigation. Janey Peterson believes they killed Laci and framed Peterson by disposing of her body 90 miles away in an area where Peterson happened to be fishing at the time.

Peterson's defense team plans to make this argument. Much of Peterson's case hinged on his affair with massage therapist Amber Frey , who testified that she was unaware that Peterson was married. She also said Peterson told her that his wife had died. Janey Peterson was asked if she believed Peterson being an adulterer could be a motive for murder.

Scott Peterson will attend court virtually from California's San Quentin State Prison Wednesday as his legal team fights for a new trial. They have argued Peterson's previous trial was flawed, claiming one of the jurors lied about her history of domestic abuse in order to get selected on the case and convict him.

In August , a California judge was deciding whether or not to give Peterson a new trial in the death of Laci. His next court date is slated for late September to determine whether there was juror misconduct in his original trial.

Scott and Laci had one child together, a son named Conner, who was murdered by Scott while he was still in the womb. Scott was a "serial philanderer" who cheated on his wife at least three times before she disappeared, according to the East Bay Times. Defense attorney Mark Geragos said during the initial trial that Laci knew of at least two of Scott's affairs. Scott had already been on at least four dates with massage therapist Amber Frey before his wife's murder. Geragos asserted that Scott was forthcoming about his infidelities, presenting email evidence to the court.

The bodies were identified several days after they were found. On that same day, Scott Peterson was arrested and charged. He pleaded not guilty. It just defies logic. Investigators said Scott Peterson bought a brand new boat 15 days before his wife disappeared, and that he had researched ocean currents and could not identify the kinds of fish he was trying to catch on the day that he says Laci Peterson was home alone.

Scott told me he was not married. She said that she believes the intense focus on his affair compromised the initial investigation into what happened to Laci Peterson. They couldn't tell you where it happened. Scott Peterson said that his wife was home at the time and multiple witnesses claim to have seen Laci Peterson walking the dog in the neighborhood.

Investigators later caught the men who broke into the house and interviewed them. The police determined that the men did not abduct Laci Peterson. Brocchini also said that the investigators found another local pregnant woman had walked her golden retriever on the same day Laci Peterson disappeared.
