The Murder of Laci Peterson

With the appearance of Scott Peterson's girlfriend, Amber Frey, media attention on the case escalates.

After the bodies of Laci Peterson and her child turn up in San Francisco Bay, police arrest Scott Peterson, who quickly becomes a national villain.

The prosecution asks for the death penalty for the murders of Laci and Conner Peterson, while the defense claims Scott Peterson is "stone cold innocent."

The jury wrestles with the facts in the Peterson case and produces a verdict that many people welcome.
