Two Docs Bring Scott Peterson and the Murder of Laci Peterson Back Into the Spotlight. Which Is More Truthful?


Two separate docuseries examining the murder of Laci Peterson—which Scott Peterson was convicted of—have dropped on Netflix and Peacock, respectively.

In 2004, 12 jurors — backed by a horde of blood-thirsty Americans, who had followed the case on television day and night — found Scott Peterson guilty of the murders of his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Connor. Twenty years later, the convicted murderer is back before the court of public opinion with two new docuseries, with starkly opposing points of view, aimed at relitigating the case and swaying streaming audiences. It also has Modesto detectives Al Brocchini and Jon Buehler, talking about their investigation, particularly how they worked with Amber to record phone calls where Scott continued to lie about being married even after Laci went missing.
