Just accept the fact that the guy had a love affair, fantasized about living a new life with his new lover and snapped when probably confronted by his wife.
This sounds very sleezy laweryly, but it's a bedrock of our legal system: just because he killed her doesn't make a guilty conviction proper.

I agree 100%, just because someone may have done something doesn't mean that it's been proven without reasonable doubt that they did it. That's how I feel about the two cases discussed here and the Adnan case.

People just don't really grasp what "beyond a reasonable doubt" means, and I mean that in terms of jurors who are told what it means explicitly in a trial over and over again will base their vote on less than a preponderance often.
Beyond a reasonable doubt is HARD, and it's supposed to be.

I don't think they met the burden of proof on that one.
And that was a big part of their case. That and a motive that may nor may not have been legitimate.
He probably did it, but I don't think there was enough meat in their arguments there to say that he did it "beyond a reasonable doubt". Which is scary AF.

Elizabeth Ratliff wasn't Peterson's wife!!! She was his neighbor. He was the last person to see her alive - she "fell down" a staircase, too.
He's still a POS.

There isn't one single shred of evidence linking him to her murder.
So where's the evidence that another person killed her? Is there a forensic evidence left at the house by the assumed murderer? Finger prints, hair, footprints, etc. Where is it? Yep, I'll wait. And OJ is innocent, too.

That's b/c he couldn't, it was already too late.

So you were a witness? Oh wow. Tell me more how it happened.

I don’t think either are innocent but if I had one bullet, Scott would get it.

that's not how you investigate a crime. You don't just assume the husband did it because there's no evidence of the contrary. Posted on 6/15/22 at 9:08 am to Palomitz

What? He had plenty of time to. He was arrested 4 months later
. Get your facts straight before you start rambling on about nothing. I'm not saying he not a piece of shite but no reason he should have been convicted of this crime.Posted on 6/15/22 at 9:27 am to member12
Both did it, both are guilty

That's exactly what they did. From the word go. Scott Peterson was a liar, a cheater, and a true POS...but he wasn't a killer. Just a big dumb ox, trying to get as much strange as possible while selling fertilizer out of a shed.

I’m really thinking Scott did not do it. Listened to a podcast with a ton of information I had never heard. There is a lot of evidence (eye witnesses) who saw Laci on the 24th walking the dog. If that was the case then Scott couldn’t have killed her. He wouldn’t have had time to kill her later that day. She was reported missing shortly after he got home. I think the house across the street was robbed that day (not on the 26th when the street was overtaken with media vans and cameras) and she walked up as it was happening. They took her and killed her and they didn’t do it right away.

Both were pieces of shite, but Michael Peterson was a sociopath nut job...

Scott had the sketchy timeline and the violent crime issue in his neighborhood. Was that overlooked?
No. That dude is guilty.

Did Micheal’s drunk wife fall down a curved staircase and he was convicted due to major prosecutor misconduct?
I personally buy the owl theory.

Scott Peterson’s guilty conviction is due to his skin color. OJ Simpson’s acquittal is due to his skin color.

Both likely guilty, but I wouldn't be able to vote to convict if I was on either jury.

It's terrifying that someone like you could possibly sit on a jury one day.
