Scott Peterson Proclaims Innocence In New Documentary

Scott Peterson, who was convicted of murder in the deaths of his wife and unborn son nearly 20 years ago, is speaking out in a new documentary to assert his innocence. In a clip from the unreleased documentary 'Face to Face with Scott Peterson,' he adamantly states, 'Cause I didn’t kill my family.' Peterson was found guilty of first-degree murder for his wife Laci's death and second-degree murder for the death of their unborn son, Conner, in a highly publicized trial in 2004.

The case dates back to December 2002 when Peterson reported his pregnant wife missing from their Modesto, California home. Tragically, less than four months later, the bodies of Laci and Conner were discovered washed up in San Francisco Bay. Prosecutors alleged that Peterson's motive for the murders was to escape married life and impending fatherhood.
