Scott Peterson continues to maintain his innocence and has given his first news interview in decades after his conviction for killing wife Laci and son Conner.
For years, Scott Peterson said he didn't kill his pregnant wife Laci or their unborn son, Conner. But prosecutors say he did and that the evidence is 'overwhelming.' Peterson, convicted in 2004, returned to the headlines this year after the Los Angeles Innocence Project announced it would take up his latest appeal. He also broke his silence after two decades in a 'Face to Face with Scott Peterson' interview streaming on Peacock.
When Frey learned of Laci's disappearance, she became a witness for the prosecution and revealed Peterson claimed to her that he was a widower — before Laci's death. She started recording her phone calls with him, including one in which he said he didn't want to be a father and was considering a vasectomy.
Peterson, who has always maintained his innocence despite a conviction at trial and two decades of failed appeals, is still hoping he can convince a court he didn't kill Laci, who was 8 months pregnant with their son Conner. 'If I have a chance to show people what the truth is, and if they are willing to accept it, it would be the biggest thing that I can accomplish right now,' Peterson claims in the interview. 'Because I didn’t kill my family.
However, even if he does get a new trial, prosecutors could use the Peacock interview against him as evidence of a motive, Rahmani said. 'And at a minimum, the jury will hate him because he cheated on his pregnant wife and showed little remorse when she disappeared,' he added. Peterson previously declined to discuss his case with Fox News Digital, citing the pending appeal.
