- 0:14Speaker 2: the same sentence. Scott Peterson Innocence Project. You know, I've
- 0:23Speaker 2: disagreed with a lot of cases, and this project has
- 0:26Speaker 2: handled over the years the way that they handled it.

- 1:42Speaker 5: We just had a call from our son.
- 1:44Speaker 6: In law said he left this morning and nine thirty
- 1:46Speaker 6: to play Dollie that home about a half hour ago.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Nowhere around she went to walked the dog with walked.
- 1:54Speaker 4: It Dicky in that heart chet and eight minute pregnant,
- 1:58Speaker 4: he said, pardons.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Okay, okay, joining me an all star panel to make
- 2:09Speaker 2: sense of what we know right now, including Christine Lazar
- 2:13Speaker 2: joining US investigative reporter kkel CBS. They're in La who's
- 2:18Speaker 2: been on a story all over the story, But first
- 2:22Speaker 2: let me go to the director and founder of the
- 2:25Speaker 2: Cold Case Research Institute, star of a hit series Zone
- 2:30Speaker 2: seven podcast, Cheryl McCollum. Did you hear what I just heard?
- 2:35Speaker 6: Absolutely?
- 2:36Speaker 1: Okay?
- 2:37Speaker 2: This is a lightning around that means yes, no, if
- 2:39Speaker 2: you can contain yourself.
- 2:40Speaker 1: If not, I understand.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Did I not hear on one but two occasions? And
- 2:47Speaker 2: Rod Grantsky may he rest in peace. I'm on one
- 2:50Speaker 2: call that Scott Peterson, Lacy's husband told him that he
- 2:57Speaker 2: was golfing that morning.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Did you hear that?
- 2:59Speaker 6: Because I heard that loud and clear twice.
- 3:01Speaker 2: You know what, Cheryl McCollum, I know what I did
- 3:04Speaker 2: this morning. I woke up super early. I made a
- 3:08Speaker 2: shake from my son, and oven baked bacon for.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Him and Lucy. I took food to my mom.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I fed the cats and the dogs and everybody, and
- 3:22Speaker 2: then they went to school.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I know exactly what happened this morning. Now, how is it?
- 3:28Speaker 1: At first he thought he was playing golf, and then
- 3:31Speaker 1: that change to he.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Was fishing the morning his wife disappears fishing in the
- 3:38Speaker 2: rain and the cold on Christmas Eve.
- 3:41Speaker 1: In San Francisco. Babe, were her body turns up?
- 3:45Speaker 6: Why?
- 3:45Speaker 4: Because I think he realized they'd got my tag at
- 3:48Speaker 4: the marina when I came in, and he also had
- 3:51Speaker 4: to pay a fee that gives you a timestamp receipt.
- 3:55Speaker 4: He knew that was something they were going to be
- 3:57Speaker 4: able to prove.
- 3:58Speaker 6: He had no choice put the change statement.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Cheryl. My question was, why did he say he was
- 4:04Speaker 1: playing golf?
- 4:05Speaker 6: Because he law the night before that that's what he
- 4:09Speaker 6: was going to be doing, so he had already put
- 4:11Speaker 6: that in the universe.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Del Carson, high profile lawyer joining me out of Jacksonville.
- 4:15Speaker 1: What I like about Carson.
- 4:16Speaker 2: It's not only is he high profile defense attorney. Don't
- 4:18Speaker 2: like that as much, but former FBI and former cop
- 4:23Speaker 2: in Miami Dade. Never a lack of business for cops
- 4:28Speaker 2: in Miami Dade. Author of Arrest Proof Yourself. You can
- 4:32Speaker 2: find him at del Carson.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Law dot com. Okay Dell.
- 4:36Speaker 2: He said he was playing golf because he was lying,
- 4:40Speaker 2: because then he changes story to fishing based on what
- 4:43Speaker 2: Cheryl McCollum just said. He was busted going in and
- 4:46Speaker 2: out of the marina. Look, I don't care that there
- 4:50Speaker 2: is a guard gate when I take the children drop
- 4:54Speaker 2: off a pickup. I don't care if I'm spotted. Why
- 4:57Speaker 2: did he care?
- 4:58Speaker 3: I know the answer to this, and it is quite simple.
- 5:01Speaker 3: He's talking to his father in law. And any person
- 5:06Speaker 3: who would leave the night before Christmas or the day
- 5:09Speaker 3: before Christmas and go out fishing with his pregnant eight
- 5:13Speaker 3: month old wife home by herself is not to be
- 5:17Speaker 3: believed with anything. He says. How could a man do
- 5:21Speaker 3: such a thing, And he certainly doesn't want to be
- 5:23Speaker 3: called out by his father in law for being the
- 5:26Speaker 3: absolute incredible liar that he is.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Another thing, let me go to Christine Lazar and by
- 5:34Speaker 2: the way, I agree with you Dale Carson. Now it's
- 5:37Speaker 2: a cold day in h double l that Dale Carson,
- 5:41Speaker 2: who has won a lot of Jerry trials, says a
- 5:44Speaker 2: defendant is lying. Normally he takes their side, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 2: no matter what. Christinazar joining me, investigator reporter ca cal Cbs.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Christina Zar. Also the theory goes on that Lacy.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Peterson, Now this is according to Scott Peterson, think he's
- 6:05Speaker 2: got a reason to lie, got an his skin in
- 6:07Speaker 2: the game, got a dog in the fight.
- 6:09Speaker 1: He says she was going for a walk in the park.
- 6:12Speaker 1: But isn't it true?
- 6:14Speaker 2: Christine Lazarre that one of the several doctors monitoring Lacey's
- 6:20Speaker 2: pregnancy testified at the original trial that Lacy had called
- 6:26Speaker 2: the hero clinic complaining about being dizzy when she walked,
- 6:31Speaker 2: and this doctor told her not to exercise or do
- 6:36Speaker 2: it late in the day when she had plenty on
- 6:39Speaker 2: her tummy and was hydrated.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Now that doctor was doctor Tina A.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Drockey, and she was under direct examination by prosecutor David Harris.
- 6:50Speaker 2: She called again November the eighth, claiming she had shortness
- 6:54Speaker 2: of breath.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Again she was told don't.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Exercise early in the day. Isn't that true, Christine Lazare.
- 7:04Speaker 6: Yes.
- 7:04Speaker 7: So at the time of the trial, I was a
- 7:07Speaker 7: reporter in Fresno and they sent me up to Redwood
- 7:09Speaker 7: City to cover it because, as you may remember, Scott
- 7:13Speaker 7: Peterson's mistress, Amber Fry, was from the Fresno area.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Okay, wait, just stop right there, Christine Wazar, I think
- 7:20Speaker 2: my head is physically going to blow off because everything
- 7:24Speaker 2: you just said is true. But now I'm talking about
- 7:28Speaker 2: Lacey short of Bread. The doctor says she wasn't going
- 7:30Speaker 2: to walk in the morning, and you brought up the
- 7:33Speaker 2: F word Amber Fry, who happens to be a very
- 7:36Speaker 2: lovely lady.
- 7:37Speaker 1: By the way, YE spent time with her and her lawyer, who.
- 7:40Speaker 2: I admire a lot, Gloria Allread. I mean, okay, go ahead,
- 7:47Speaker 2: I think my head is still attached to my neck.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Go ahead, Christine.
- 7:51Speaker 7: Well you know, look, I mean that really was the
- 7:54Speaker 7: I guess you could say, smoking gun of that trial
- 7:57Speaker 7: when we all sat around and listened to those audio
- 7:59Speaker 7: tes Scott Peterson saying that he's at the Eiffel Tower,
- 8:04Speaker 7: when in reality he's at a vigil for his missing wife,
- 8:08Speaker 7: who was pregnant with his first child, his unborn child.
- 8:12Speaker 7: Those memories of listening to those tapes will always stick
- 8:15Speaker 7: with me being in that trial. When this first came
- 8:20Speaker 7: out that the Innocence Project was taking on this case,
- 8:23Speaker 7: all my colleagues wanted to know what it was like
- 8:25Speaker 7: covering that trial. And I will also say, and I know, Nancy,
- 8:28Speaker 7: you were there. One of the things we all talked
- 8:31Speaker 7: about was Scott's demeanor and how he walked into that
- 8:34Speaker 7: courtroom every day with a swagger and a smirk on
- 8:38Speaker 7: his face, like.
- 8:39Speaker 1: A cocky soob that was a star quarterback of his
- 8:42Speaker 1: own murder trial. That's what it was like, I mean, all.
- 8:46Speaker 7: Puffed up, yes, And it was hard to wrap your
- 8:48Speaker 7: brain around the fact that even if he was innocent,
- 8:52Speaker 7: he has a wife who is dead and his first
- 8:54Speaker 7: child who died with her, and so it was hard
- 8:58Speaker 7: to reconcile his behavior with the crime that we were
- 9:02Speaker 7: all there.
- 9:03Speaker 2: For, you know, changing a story from how could you
- 9:08Speaker 2: get that wrong? The day your wife goes missing? And oh,
- 9:12Speaker 2: Cheryl McCollum, correct me, wasn't that her father, stepfather Ron
- 9:17Speaker 2: grant Ski, calling in, not her husband?
- 9:21Speaker 6: So he didn't even make the call.
- 9:23Speaker 4: He's showing no concern.
- 9:25Speaker 1: There's so much there.
- 9:26Speaker 2: But do you remember that, Cheryl McCollum, I was out
- 9:29Speaker 2: in Redwood City covering the trial live, but I was
- 9:33Speaker 2: in Atlanta, as were you, in New York much of
- 9:36Speaker 2: the time when the investigation was going on.
- 9:39Speaker 1: And I will never forget the moment. I remember where
- 9:42Speaker 1: I was.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I was standing in the lobby of my apartment building
- 9:45Speaker 2: in New York, about eight blocks from the Court, TV
- 9:49Speaker 2: studios and HLM, and the photo of Scott Peterson comes
- 9:55Speaker 2: out with his hand on his mistress, Amber Fryes rear
- 9:59Speaker 2: in and she had on this beautiful red Christmas dress
- 10:04Speaker 2: and he was dressed up to go to her Christmas
- 10:07Speaker 2: party while Lacey, eight months pregnant, stayed home with her
- 10:11Speaker 2: feet up because she was feeling bad. Point feet up,
- 10:16Speaker 2: Cheryl McCollum, last count you had.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Two children feet up.
- 10:20Speaker 2: She was so heavily pregnant she had to put her
- 10:24Speaker 2: feet up all the time and was told directly by
- 10:29Speaker 2: multiple doctors do not walk in the morning, if at all,
- 10:33Speaker 2: because she was getting dizzy to the point of thinking
- 10:35Speaker 2: she was going to pass out when she would go
- 10:37Speaker 2: for a walk.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Absolutely, So, do you remember that feeling where your ankles
- 10:41Speaker 4: are swelling up. You don't even feel like getting up,
- 10:43Speaker 4: much less walking. But she was told not to do
- 10:46Speaker 4: it because she was at risk for doing that. She
- 10:49Speaker 4: needed to rest. But Nancy, the pre and post behavior
- 10:53Speaker 4: here is something we've talked about a lot. So not
- 10:56Speaker 4: only is he having an affair, he is doing so
- 10:59Speaker 4: where he is maintaining the relationship with Amber fryar Fry
- 11:04Speaker 4: after Lacy goes missing. That to me is critical because
- 11:08Speaker 4: people always say, well, just because you're having a bear
- 11:10Speaker 4: doesn't make you a murderer. Absolutely, But that behavior after
- 11:15Speaker 4: she went missing, where he's calling Amber during the candlelight
- 11:19Speaker 4: vigil for Lacy and Connor, and he's explaining, oh, I'm
- 11:22Speaker 4: watching these fireworks and I'm thinking of you. He's not
- 11:25Speaker 4: searching for her, he's not desperate to find her and
- 11:29Speaker 4: his unborn child. He is trying to maintain a relationship
- 11:33Speaker 4: with somebody he's only known for weeks.
- 11:36Speaker 2: You know, Cheryl, you just brought to my mind who
- 11:39Speaker 2: I consider to be a friend, Lacey's mother, Sharon Roche,
- 11:43Speaker 2: and I will never forget. And I guess, Christine Lazar,
- 11:45Speaker 2: you were in the courtroom for this. I had been
- 11:48Speaker 2: out front. I've been doing something for either it had
- 11:53Speaker 2: to be for court TV. And I raced back in
- 11:57Speaker 2: and all I could get was a very bad.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Row seat, and I was happy to get it all
- 12:03Speaker 1: the way in the back of the courtroom, and I'm short.
- 12:07Speaker 2: I had to take my backpack off and sit on
- 12:10Speaker 2: top of my backpack to see Sharon Roachell on the stand.
- 12:14Speaker 2: I remember she on this beautiful yellow outfit and when
- 12:19Speaker 2: she was describing burying Lacey her bones of course, because
- 12:26Speaker 2: she was skeletonized by the time she washed ashore. Lacey
- 12:31Speaker 2: was buried holding Connor, her baby in her arms, and
- 12:37Speaker 2: I will never forget her. Looking over at Scott Peterson
- 12:42Speaker 2: and I am reminded of a truth. And the truth
- 12:47Speaker 2: is those most vested in a true verdict are the
- 12:52Speaker 2: victim's family, and they Lacey's family is convinced Scott Peterson
- 12:59Speaker 2: is guilty.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Now the innocence project is coming in full steam after
- 13:24Speaker 2: multiple appeals climbing there's a new evidence. But speaking of
- 13:28Speaker 2: Sharon Rochel, listen to this.
- 13:30Speaker 8: I would like to thank all of you for being
- 13:32Speaker 8: here and helpings is trying to find our daughter. I
- 13:39Speaker 8: would just like to send a message out there that
- 13:42Speaker 8: whoever has her, please please please let her go.
- 13:45Speaker 9: Bring her back her so much, Please close our back.
- 13:57Speaker 8: We want her and our grandson home safely and immediately,
- 14:02Speaker 8: So please bring her.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Back to us.
- 14:04Speaker 2: You hear Ron Grantskey breaking down in the background, and
- 14:07Speaker 2: I can tell you Ron Grantskey was very, very emotional.
- 14:13Speaker 2: He loved Lacey so much he could hardly ever speak
- 14:19Speaker 2: before the cameras. Reminded me a lot of my dad,
- 14:23Speaker 2: very sentimental, could hardly get through three sentences straight without
- 14:28Speaker 2: breaking down and crying about Lacy. And now this and
- 14:31Speaker 2: Sharon Roach has to live through the whole thing again
- 14:34Speaker 2: and more from Sharon Roache.
- 14:36Speaker 8: Lacy was just a loving, happy, generous, vivacious person. She
- 14:43Speaker 8: just Lacey loves life, she loves people, she loves entertaining.
- 14:47Speaker 8: She's happy, she's She and Scott are just so much
- 14:53Speaker 8: in love. They're just I think everybody envies their relationship.
- 14:57Speaker 1: They're just perfect together.
- 15:00Speaker 8: They have a wonderful life.
- 15:01Speaker 9: They're looking forward to having their baby.
- 15:03Speaker 8: They've waited a long time, they tried for a long
- 15:05Speaker 8: time to have a baby, and she finally became pregnant
- 15:09Speaker 8: and this is just the center of her worlds to
- 15:13Speaker 8: have her baby and be with her husband.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Now, that is what Sharon Roach thought before this. Listen.
- 15:20Speaker 10: I met Scott Peterson November twentieth, two thousand and two.
- 15:25Speaker 10: I was introduced to him. I was told he was unmarried.
- 15:29Speaker 10: Scott told me he was not married. We did have
- 15:34Speaker 10: a romantic relationship. When I discovered he was involved in
- 15:38Speaker 10: the Lacy Peterson disappearance case, I immediately contacted the Modesto
- 15:44Speaker 10: Police department. Although I couldn't have sold or sold the
- 15:51Speaker 10: photos of Scott and I to tabloids, I knew this
- 15:55Speaker 10: was not the right thing to do. For fear of
- 15:58Speaker 10: jeopardizing the case or the police investigation. I will not
- 16:02Speaker 10: comment further.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Yeah, Amberfrey was dragged through the mud, tarred and feathered
- 16:07Speaker 2: over having a relationship with sex relationship with Peterson, But
- 16:11Speaker 2: I believe.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Her that she did not know he was married.
- 16:15Speaker 2: She could have made probably at least one hundred grand
- 16:19Speaker 2: of selling those photos of her story, she didn't do it.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Listen to more of Amberfry.
- 16:24Speaker 10: I am very sorry for Macy's family and the pain
- 16:30Speaker 10: that this has caused them, and I pray for her
- 16:36Speaker 10: safe return as well. I would appreciate to my friends
- 16:42Speaker 10: and acquaintances to refrain from talking about me to the
- 16:48Speaker 10: media for profit or recognization. I am a single mother
- 16:56Speaker 10: of a twenty three month old child, and.
- 17:00Speaker 1: I asked to respect my hypocy.
- 17:03Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Of course, her life turned upside down and she was
- 17:06Speaker 2: again tard and feathered on cross examination when she bravely
- 17:11Speaker 2: took the stand in court. But you know what to
- 17:13Speaker 2: Karen Start joining me renowned psychologists joining us out of Manhattan.
- 17:18Speaker 2: You can find her at Karenstart dot com. That's Karen
- 17:20Speaker 2: with a C in case you tried to find her. Karen,
- 17:23Speaker 2: did you hear Sharon Roach say that Lacey loved entertaining? Okay, Karen,
- 17:30Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember. You and I worked
- 17:33Speaker 2: on this case together.
- 17:35Speaker 1: You were with me night after night after night during
- 17:38Speaker 1: the trial on air, and.
- 17:40Speaker 2: I remember telling you that I had gone to Lacey's
- 17:44Speaker 2: home and actually got to look inside, and it looked
- 17:48Speaker 2: like I could tell she loved her home. It was decorated.
- 17:52Speaker 2: I could tell on a budget, but it was so
- 17:55Speaker 2: perfectly done. I'm getting to a point. Be a cold
- 18:01Speaker 2: day an h E double l that David Lynch, my
- 18:06Speaker 2: husband that you told me to marry.
- 18:09Speaker 1: By the way, would go out.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Remember Lacey was expecting all the family to come to
- 18:15Speaker 2: her place and was getting it all ready.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I mean she was having everything, getting her everything ready
- 18:22Speaker 1: for Christmas. It was December twenty four.
- 18:26Speaker 2: It would be a cold day in hell that David
- 18:29Speaker 2: Lynch would leave when I was trying to get the
- 18:31Speaker 2: house ready and cook a turkey and homemade dressing and
- 18:35Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah, get all the presents, wrap, everything done.
- 18:39Speaker 2: No way he would be there trying to help me,
- 18:42Speaker 2: and with her pregnant. No way was he going to
- 18:45Speaker 2: go golfing or fishing.
- 18:47Speaker 11: Nancy. She was eight months pregnant and told that she
- 18:51Speaker 11: should not be exercising or doing any undue labor while
- 18:56Speaker 11: she was pregnant at that point. And he was out golfing.
- 19:01Speaker 11: Oh wait, no, he wasn't golfing.
- 19:03Speaker 3: He was fishing.
- 19:04Speaker 11: And do you remember the interview that they had with
- 19:08Speaker 11: him when he picked up a call. He was so nonchalant.
- 19:12Speaker 11: You would never ever guess that this man had lost
- 19:15Speaker 11: his wife and his child.
- 19:16Speaker 2: You know, the only newly discovered evidence there is to
- 19:21Speaker 2: be found at this point is to tell me exactly
- 19:25Speaker 2: how he murdered his wife.
- 19:27Speaker 1: To doctor Todd M.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Barr joining me board certified anatomic clinical forensic pathologists featured
- 19:33Speaker 2: in thin Places Essays from in between doctor Barr, thank
- 19:37Speaker 2: you for being with us. The defense has thrown out
- 19:40Speaker 2: so many, many, many different theories as to who murdered Lacy.
- 19:46Speaker 1: They said a thing. They said a Hawaiian gang did it.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Then they said some other kind of gang did it.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Then they said oh.
- 19:56Speaker 2: One of the theories was that some when a kidnapped
- 19:59Speaker 2: Lace and cut her open to take baby Connor for
- 20:04Speaker 2: their own. But yet when she was found there was
- 20:07Speaker 2: no indication of that, although she was largely skeletonized. But
- 20:11Speaker 2: the state's theory, which was backed up by medical examiners,
- 20:16Speaker 2: was that over time, weeks and weeks and weeks in
- 20:20Speaker 2: the San Francisco Bay, the last portion of a woman's
- 20:25Speaker 2: body to decompose would be that thick uterine wall the womb,
- 20:30Speaker 2: and that in the end it did deteriorate and baby
- 20:35Speaker 2: Connor just floated out. Because while she was largely decomposed,
- 20:41Speaker 2: baby Connor looked like a little one of those little plastic,
- 20:45Speaker 2: shiny baby dolls that you get at a store.
- 20:48Speaker 12: Sure, I mean, the fact that the baby was in
- 20:52Speaker 12: utero was very protective, you know, in the in the
- 20:56Speaker 12: cold waters of the San Francisco Bay, you know, that
- 21:00Speaker 12: slows down decomposition. Now, of course, Lacey's body is exposed
- 21:05Speaker 12: to all the elements, including animal predation, you know, animals
- 21:10Speaker 12: or fish that might be you know, gnawing on her flesh,
- 21:13Speaker 12: which will actually promote the acceleration of her decomposition. So, yes,
- 21:20Speaker 12: I agree that the baby would have been the last one,
- 21:23Speaker 12: the last one out, so to speak, and would have
- 21:26Speaker 12: been relatively well preserved at that point.
- 21:29Speaker 2: So would there have been any evidence left that someone
- 21:33Speaker 2: had cut her stomach open? I mean, if they had
- 21:36Speaker 2: done that, they would have tried to get Connor out
- 21:38Speaker 2: he was still in there.
- 21:39Speaker 12: Yeah, And I would think that if somebody was you know,
- 21:43Speaker 12: not a surgical person, that was trying to open up
- 21:47Speaker 12: her abdomen to take the baby out, it's very possible
- 21:50Speaker 12: that the baby would have sustained some sort of injury
- 21:55Speaker 12: in the process, you know. I mean it's a tight
- 21:58Speaker 12: space in the uterus, so when you're trying to cut
- 22:01Speaker 12: a baby out, there very well could have been evidence
- 22:05Speaker 12: that the baby sustained some sort of sharp force injury
- 22:08Speaker 12: from someone trying to extract the baby.
- 22:11Speaker 2: A homemade ccerean. Yeah, the baby is cut out of
- 22:15Speaker 2: the stomach. But you're right, you would have expected Connor
- 22:19Speaker 2: to have some sort of cutting or injury or something.
- 22:23Speaker 1: He had nothing.
- 22:24Speaker 12: Yes, unless it was done by an obgyn, you know
- 22:28Speaker 12: that knew what they were doing exactly. Most of us
- 22:31Speaker 12: would wouldn't know where to make the first cut.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Even as a medical doctor.
- 22:35Speaker 12: Myself, I wouldn't. I wouldn't know how to do a
- 22:37Speaker 12: Sysyrian section because I'm not trained as an obgyn.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Yeah. I try to tell people that all the time.
- 22:42Speaker 2: I'm like, you want me to write your will, Yeah,
- 22:44Speaker 2: I'll try. But that's like asking an ear doctor to
- 22:47Speaker 2: perform open heart surgery. But okay, guys, we are hearing
- 22:52Speaker 2: that the Innocence Project has actually taken on Scott Peterson's case.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Now to Cristado Zar joining US investigator reporter KKL CBS LA.
- 23:03Speaker 1: I understand that they claim there.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Was blood spatter evidence that quote might have exonerated him
- 23:11Speaker 2: and other suspects who were quote overlooked.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Is that what they're basing this on.
- 23:16Speaker 7: You know, they're not saying a lot, but that is
- 23:19Speaker 7: what they are pointing to, that there was some sort
- 23:21Speaker 7: of blood spatter evidence inside this burned out van. And
- 23:26Speaker 7: as you may remember, there was a talk that there
- 23:28Speaker 7: was a robbery in the area right before she went missing,
- 23:32Speaker 7: and could that be linked to her disappearance. Again, in trial,
- 23:37Speaker 7: the prosecution kind of pushed that aside and said those
- 23:40Speaker 7: were completely unrelated.
- 23:42Speaker 4: But the emphasis right now is on that van.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Well, well, you're talking about a robbery. I thought it
- 23:47Speaker 1: was a burglary.
- 23:48Speaker 7: Yes, correct, I'm.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Sorry, kind of caddy cornered to Lacey's home there on
- 23:52Speaker 2: Covena And I believe the reason prosecutors discount it is
- 23:57Speaker 2: because they caught the burglars and interviewed them at length
- 24:00Speaker 2: and polygraph them and decided, yeah, that's not what happened.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Is that the burglary you're talking about?
- 24:08Speaker 12: Yes?
- 24:09Speaker 7: And I will say here in LA this is all
- 24:11Speaker 7: anybody seems to be talking about. And a lot of people,
- 24:14Speaker 7: if you look in the comment section, if you hear
- 24:17Speaker 7: the responses to the stories we've been doing, a lot
- 24:19Speaker 7: of people very upset with the Innocent Project, feeling like
- 24:22Speaker 7: this is a case that is not worthy of their
- 24:24Speaker 7: time and attention. Most people I talk to say they
- 24:28Speaker 7: believe Scott Peterson did it. There was a lot of
- 24:32Speaker 7: circumstantial evidence in the trial. But one thing that we
- 24:35Speaker 7: kept saying as reporters covering it back in four if
- 24:39Speaker 7: not him, then who all signs seem to point to
- 24:43Speaker 7: Scott Peterson? And I will say, after covering that trial
- 24:46Speaker 7: and walking away from it, I did feel like the
- 24:48Speaker 7: jury made the right decision.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Well, the thing is this, we're just touching on some
- 24:54Speaker 2: of the evidence right now, just a tiny tiny bit
- 24:57Speaker 2: of it that I that through the trial, I heard
- 25:02Speaker 2: the evidence. I like many people agree Peterson murdered his
- 25:07Speaker 2: wife and unborn child. As to the Innocence Project, they
- 25:11Speaker 2: actually do fine work in many cases. There are wrongfully
- 25:18Speaker 2: convicted people in our country and they need to be released,
- 25:22Speaker 2: and they need to be exonerated. There are cases out
- 25:26Speaker 2: there that desperately need the Innocence Project. So why latch
- 25:31Speaker 2: on to Scott Peterson's case like a tick, sucking the
- 25:34Speaker 2: blood out of it? Why time stories with Nancy Greece, Guys,
- 25:55Speaker 2: speaking of guilt, We've been talking about the mistress and
- 26:00Speaker 2: I kind of hate to even refer to her that
- 26:02Speaker 2: way because she's a very nice lady with a new
- 26:05Speaker 2: life and a new family.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Listen to this This is the call Cheryl McCallum refer.
- 26:10Speaker 2: To where, even after Lacey is missing, of course dead,
- 26:17Speaker 2: you hear him continuing to lie just to get laid
- 26:20Speaker 2: what one more time?
- 26:21Speaker 1: Listen ever, ever, ever.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Hear me?
- 26:37Speaker 3: Ever there there? Every happy here?
- 26:46Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 26:49Speaker 11: Right there?
- 26:50Speaker 1: Yes, I wish you could.
- 26:54Speaker 8: Eye.
- 26:55Speaker 2: I think that you're there.
- 26:56Speaker 13: I'm my you.
- 26:57Speaker 3: The idle power is unreal. It's huge.
- 27:03Speaker 1: It's that huge.
- 27:05Speaker 3: Remember, ever you're there. I can't hear right now, but
- 27:10Speaker 3: I'll call you on your knees.
- 27:13Speaker 2: Ever Okay, Cheryl McCollum. My chest is hurting now. At
- 27:24Speaker 2: first I thought my head was going to blow off.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Now I think I might be having a heart attack.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Did you hear that?
- 27:29Speaker 8: Oh?
- 27:29Speaker 1: It's so near the Eiffel Tower, and.
- 27:32Speaker 2: The celebration is quote unreal. The crowd is huge. There
- 27:36Speaker 2: was a huge crowd. But wasn't he had his wife's
- 27:39Speaker 2: vigil when he did that.
- 27:41Speaker 4: He was literally standing also the side during the candlelight vigil.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Keith again wanting to keep the relationship with ambergoing, and
- 27:50Speaker 4: that thing. It's so crazy to me, even if you're
- 27:54Speaker 4: having an affair, and even if you're having a great
- 27:56Speaker 4: time with this person, that you just meant weeks ago.
- 27:59Speaker 4: If you're wife legitimately goes missing and she's pregnant with
- 28:04Speaker 4: your unborn child, it seems like your focus would flip
- 28:08Speaker 4: because again, your parents are going to be hurting. Her
- 28:11Speaker 4: parents are going to be scared to death and hurting siblings.
- 28:15Speaker 4: You've got other people involved with your marriage that are
- 28:18Speaker 4: going to be connected to Lacey and love her.
- 28:21Speaker 6: And here's the thing.
- 28:22Speaker 4: His mother in law turned on him and understood that
- 28:25Speaker 4: he was a liar and did something to Lacey. His
- 28:28Speaker 4: best friend distanced himself because he's like, look, his alibi
- 28:32Speaker 4: is not making any sense to me. Nobody supported him,
- 28:36Speaker 4: that knew him, no one. So everything that he started
- 28:40Speaker 4: to do again, there's some things you're right about, Nancy, that.
- 28:43Speaker 6: We don't have.
- 28:44Speaker 4: We don't have the cause of death or at the
- 28:46Speaker 4: time of death, or a weapon, but there's things we
- 28:48Speaker 4: do have. We've got hair impliers on his boats that
- 28:53Speaker 4: we know Lacy never went on.
- 28:55Speaker 6: He's the one that said, oh, you're probably going to
- 28:57Speaker 6: find blood in my truck. He gave them that. He's
- 29:01Speaker 6: the one that told it. Dad, I might be pulling
- 29:04Speaker 6: an OJ.
- 29:05Speaker 4: I mean, everything he did gave us reason to look
- 29:08Speaker 4: at him, especially when he goes on Dan Sawyer and
- 29:11Speaker 4: is talking about her in past ten where they.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Were still searching for her.
- 29:15Speaker 2: You know, Dale Carson joining me, high profile defense attorney
- 29:18Speaker 2: joining us out of Jacksonville, former FBI and beat cop
- 29:22Speaker 2: in Miami, Dade del Carson, I want to hear what
- 29:26Speaker 2: you think about the changing defense theories and about this
- 29:31Speaker 2: blood spatter, But first let me ask you something about
- 29:34Speaker 2: the Nocence Project, which I have long held in esteem.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I don't believe you have ever heard me rant and
- 29:40Speaker 1: rave about.
- 29:41Speaker 2: The Nisons Project, because they have actually led to some
- 29:45Speaker 2: exonerations that were desperately needed by Lady Justice. So deal Carson.
- 29:53Speaker 2: What I find very curious is you heard Christine Lazar.
- 29:58Speaker 2: She's a very well known and respected investigative reporter joining
- 30:05Speaker 2: us out of.
- 30:05Speaker 1: KKEL CBS LA.
- 30:07Speaker 2: She said that the Innocence Project has not revealed what
- 30:12Speaker 2: the quote new evidence is. Why if it's new evidence, man,
- 30:17Speaker 2: and it was proven Scott Peterson isson, I would be
- 30:20Speaker 2: shouting from the rooftops.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Well, I took the opportuite to read the appeal essentially,
- 30:27Speaker 3: and it's fairly lengthy, but there are just points that
- 30:31Speaker 3: you've already mentioned frankly, the two burglars. They've been interviewed,
- 30:36Speaker 3: a van with a mattress in it that had blood
- 30:38Speaker 3: in it, the argument that the dog was out and
- 30:41Speaker 3: Lacey'd been walking the dog and she was abducted by
- 30:45Speaker 3: these individuals. I mean, it's fairly laid out, and the
- 30:49Speaker 3: Innocent Project does an excellent job where it's needed. I
- 30:52Speaker 3: think this is more of a publicity stab than it
- 30:55Speaker 3: is anything else, and I don't think it's particularly necessary.
- 30:58Speaker 3: I think it's a waste of their resources and energies
- 31:02Speaker 3: on something is fairly clear. I mean, the most interesting
- 31:05Speaker 3: thing to me from an investigative perspective is the fact
- 31:08Speaker 3: that her head and her hands were missing. Those are
- 31:11Speaker 3: identity clues, and there's only one person who would do
- 31:15Speaker 3: something like that and we all know who that is.
- 31:18Speaker 3: So yes, in any large, major case, there's going to
- 31:21Speaker 3: be evidence, just as there was the Atlantic kid killings
- 31:24Speaker 3: that I was involved with, where there's additional evidence that
- 31:28Speaker 3: shows up years later. But that doesn't mean that the
- 31:31Speaker 3: individuals who's been convicted is somehow innocent.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Can I point something out.
- 31:36Speaker 2: A legal aspect that I think will immediately quash this
- 31:39Speaker 2: appeal newly discovered means newly discovered the van and the
- 31:46Speaker 2: plus purported sidings of Lacey before he disappearance. We're known
- 31:52Speaker 2: at the time of trial. This is not newly discovered.
- 31:57Speaker 2: I'm only curious regarding the blood. The project is asking
- 32:02Speaker 2: DNA testing to be done on blood and that previously
- 32:06Speaker 2: unheard interviews with witnesses.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Be re examined. There is nothing new.
- 32:13Speaker 2: I mean, am I missing something, Christine wis are the
- 32:16Speaker 2: blood they're talking about the blood spatter they're referring to,
- 32:20Speaker 2: if it exists, would have been in that van.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Is that the blood they're talking about.
- 32:24Speaker 7: Well, look, I mean they're not saying a lot. They're
- 32:26Speaker 7: not giving us specifics.
- 32:28Speaker 14: A lot of this is just us trying to read
- 32:31Speaker 14: between the lines and figure out where there had is
- 32:33Speaker 14: that because so many people are surprised that this is
- 32:36Speaker 14: a case that the Innocent's Project has decided to take on.
- 32:40Speaker 7: At this point, we're being told that it has something
- 32:43Speaker 7: to do with blood in that van.
- 32:45Speaker 2: That they had the van at the time of trial.
- 32:47Speaker 2: The van was discoverable at the time of trial, and
- 32:51Speaker 2: under the law, if this was evidence that could be
- 32:54Speaker 2: discoverable at the time of the trial, it is not
- 32:57Speaker 2: quote newly discovered, which is required for a case to
- 33:02Speaker 2: go forward on appeal on the grounds of newly discovered evidence.
- 33:07Speaker 2: It's not newly discovered.
- 33:10Speaker 1: That said, I would still want the truth. But back
- 33:13Speaker 1: to the facts.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Remember when Amber Fry was entertaining that call from Peterson
- 33:19Speaker 2: the night of his wife's vigil, As Cheryl McCollum described,
- 33:22Speaker 2: going off to the corner and calling Amber Fry pretending
- 33:25Speaker 2: he's in Paris quote near the Eiffel Tower. Man, he
- 33:28Speaker 2: can shoot a line of well, let's see, I gave
- 33:31Speaker 2: up cursing crap. But she knew he was under suspicion
- 33:37Speaker 2: when she took that call.
- 33:38Speaker 1: She was recording it for police. And how do you
- 33:41Speaker 1: think that made her feel? Knowing a guy and likely
- 33:45Speaker 1: killed his wife and he was out.
- 33:47Speaker 2: And you're cooperating with police. She did it anyway. Now
- 33:51Speaker 2: she confronts him, listen.
- 33:53Speaker 15: For me this elaborate night about her missing and this
- 33:56Speaker 15: tragedy and that and that this will be the holidays
- 34:00Speaker 15: without her, said Amber.
- 34:04Speaker 6: God, I don't want to fight with you, but you
- 34:07Speaker 6: know that I never said tragedy or missing.
- 34:10Speaker 15: Oh yes, you said you've watched your wife obviously without
- 34:14Speaker 15: me staying much.
- 34:15Speaker 2: But we were.
- 34:17Speaker 6: Yes, you did, I did.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Okay, So either he's clairvoyant or he's a killer. Help
- 34:25Speaker 1: me out, Sheryl Nancy.
- 34:28Speaker 4: He told another mistress named Janet that kids were gonna
- 34:33Speaker 4: disrupt his lifestyle.
- 34:35Speaker 6: He told other people his wife was dead.
- 34:39Speaker 4: He has done so many things before she went missing.
- 34:43Speaker 4: He got an insurance policy for a quarter of a
- 34:45Speaker 4: million dollars, He bought the boat. He you know, good
- 34:50Speaker 4: things to line up to be a single person, it
- 34:53Speaker 4: would appear, and then after she goes missing, the lives
- 34:57Speaker 4: kept going. He didn't want to take a polygraph. He
- 35:00Speaker 4: told the detective. There's no outside people, there's no third
- 35:03Speaker 4: party in our marriage. Our marriage is fine. But he
- 35:06Speaker 4: continued to call Amber. He continued to say, look, everything's
- 35:11Speaker 4: good here.
- 35:11Speaker 6: There's no problem.
- 35:13Speaker 4: You know, even when this case got so hot, Lacy's
- 35:16Speaker 4: face was everywhere. Everybody's concerned about this young woman who
- 35:21Speaker 4: is so adorable and eight and a half months pregnant,
- 35:25Speaker 4: and they want to focus on this watch that was pawned.
- 35:28Speaker 4: Let me ask you something, what criminal kidnaps this person?
- 35:32Speaker 6: The case gets hot as fire.
- 35:34Speaker 4: And they wait a week to pawn her watch. That
- 35:37Speaker 4: doesn't make any sense.
- 35:39Speaker 2: There are two Croton Croto in watches Pond and it
- 35:46Speaker 2: has never been established that that was Lacy's watch that
- 35:51Speaker 2: she had inherited.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Croton I think is a brand of watch. Hey, you
- 35:56Speaker 1: left out the fact that.
- 35:57Speaker 2: He immediately ordered the poor Horn channel, added that to
- 36:02Speaker 2: the cable bill, and tried to sell the house in
- 36:05Speaker 2: the car. Now, this is when Lacey is still missing. Obviously,
- 36:09Speaker 2: Karen Start, you're the shrink. He's not expecting her to
- 36:12Speaker 2: walk through the front door. It would be again a
- 36:15Speaker 2: cold day in hell that David Lynch adds on the
- 36:18Speaker 2: porn channel.
- 36:19Speaker 1: When I'm missing.
- 36:20Speaker 2: It's like I go to the school for a reason
- 36:24Speaker 2: for the children, and he orders the porn channel while
- 36:26Speaker 2: I'm gone. No, because he knows I'm going to walk
- 36:29Speaker 2: in and see porn on the TV.
- 36:31Speaker 1: No, that would not do.
- 36:34Speaker 2: But Peterson wasn't worried. He knew Lacey was never coming home.
- 36:40Speaker 6: Karen Start, that's right, Nancy.
- 36:42Speaker 11: And how about when he was telling everybody and people
- 36:46Speaker 11: need to hear this that he could not go into
- 36:49Speaker 11: the nursery, he could not go into Connor's room until
- 36:53Speaker 11: they were back and somebody and he was definitely going
- 36:56Speaker 11: to keep that door closed, and then they discovered that
- 36:59Speaker 11: he was used yet as storage. He led again, he
- 37:03Speaker 11: had things in there. He had no respect for the
- 37:06Speaker 11: fact that he still didn't even know what was going
- 37:08Speaker 11: to happen with this baby.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Guys, I want to cut forward to our cut ten sixteen.
- 37:13Speaker 2: I want you to analyze more of what Peterson did
- 37:18Speaker 2: at the time Lacey quote goes missing.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Listen.
- 37:22Speaker 16: At nine thirty am Christmas Eve, Scott Peterson goes fishing
- 37:25Speaker 16: in his brand new boat. Peterson claims the fishing trip
- 37:28Speaker 16: is a last minute decision. He planned to go golfing,
- 37:31Speaker 16: but it was too cold and blustery for golf, so
- 37:33Speaker 16: he went fishing. Lucky for Scott, even though his decision
- 37:37Speaker 16: to fish was last minute, he bought a two day
- 37:39Speaker 16: ocean fishing license on December twenty second. Peterson fishes without
- 37:43Speaker 16: success and returns home late in the afternoon. When he
- 37:46Speaker 16: gets home, Scott finds Lacey's car in the driveway. Their dog, Mackenzie,
- 37:50Speaker 16: is in the backyard, but the house is empty. After
- 37:52Speaker 16: he takes the time to shower and change clothes, Scott
- 37:55Speaker 16: Peterson goes to a neighbor's house to see if they've
- 37:57Speaker 16: seen Lacey. The neighbors hadn't seen Lacey, so Scott calls
- 38:01Speaker 16: Lacey's mother, Sharon. According to Fox News, Scott Peterson doesn't say,
- 38:05Speaker 16: have you spoken to Lacey today? Do you know where
- 38:08Speaker 16: Lazy is? He tells Lacey's mother that Lacey is missing.
- 38:13Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, No.
- 38:15Speaker 2: When I'm looking for David, when he goes out of
- 38:17Speaker 2: town or he has some meeting or something, I would
- 38:20Speaker 2: never say David's missing. I go, hey, where's David? Have
- 38:24Speaker 2: you seen your dad? Something like that, And that is
- 38:28Speaker 2: what Sharon roach to testify to on the stand. So
- 38:31Speaker 2: he's out on a secret boat, Christine Lazar is joining
- 38:35Speaker 2: us KKEWCBSLA. He's out on a secret boat that he
- 38:38Speaker 2: didn't tell anybody about. He has he went fishing last minute,
- 38:43Speaker 2: although we know two days before he got a fishing license,
- 38:48Speaker 2: so it's not last minute.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Isn't it true?
- 38:51Speaker 2: Christine Lazar that when he gets home, the dog Withckenzie's
- 38:55Speaker 2: in the backyard with the gate locked.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Was it the backyard gate? Lot? Anybody jump in that?
- 39:02Speaker 1: Can remember that?
- 39:03Speaker 7: I do remember that from trial.
- 39:04Speaker 1: So what the dog let himself in and lot the gate?
- 39:07Speaker 13: Right?
- 39:08Speaker 7: Well, the defense argued, as you may remember that a
- 39:12Speaker 7: neighbor had put the dog in there and had closed the.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Gate, And did that neighbor come forward at trial?
- 39:16Speaker 6: No?
- 39:17Speaker 1: Right, Okay? What exactly is the Innocence Project doing?
- 39:23Speaker 2: They're refusing to state what the newly discovered evidence is.
- 39:28Speaker 2: And my question is, if they're all about the truth
- 39:30Speaker 2: coming out, then why keep it a secret?
- 39:33Speaker 1: What are they hiding and why are they hiding it?
- 39:37Speaker 2: Or is there really nothing there? Take a Listen to
- 39:40Speaker 2: Crime Onlines Rachel Benia.
- 39:42Speaker 9: Scott Peterson's former attorney, Mark Garrigos on TMZ Live says
- 39:46Speaker 9: he can debunk all the prosecution evidence, but said he
- 39:49Speaker 9: believes the jury was laser focused on Peterson cheating on
- 39:53Speaker 9: his wife. The filing by the La Innocence Project says
- 39:57Speaker 9: Peterson's claims of actual innocence is support by newly discovered
- 40:01Speaker 9: evidence and more.
- 40:03Speaker 5: Listen in court documents, The Los Angeles Innocence Project is
- 40:06Speaker 5: asking for witnesses who may have seen Lacey walking her dog.
- 40:10Speaker 5: There may be witnesses who saw Lacy Peterson alive after
- 40:13Speaker 5: her husband left Modesto to go phishing caron reports, Police
- 40:17Speaker 5: and prosecutors said Lacy was murdered before Scott Peterson left town.
- 40:21Speaker 5: In court document, Scott Peterson wrote, during the search to
- 40:25Speaker 5: find Lacey, the police continually ignored evidence, including eyewitness reports
- 40:29Speaker 5: that Lacy was alive and walking our dog the day
- 40:32Speaker 5: she disappeared. The project is asking for all reports detailing
- 40:36Speaker 5: investigative actions taken in response to eyewitness accounts reporting sightings
- 40:40Speaker 5: of Lacy Peterson on or after December twenty fourth, two
- 40:43Speaker 5: thousand and two.
- 40:44Speaker 1: None of that, deal, Carson, is new evidence.
- 40:48Speaker 3: You're exactly right, none of it is new. And as
- 40:51Speaker 3: you say in appellate work, you have to have evidence
- 40:55Speaker 3: that was not discovered at the time, and if they
- 40:59Speaker 3: don't have that, they don't meet the boundary for that
- 41:03Speaker 3: to be appealed effectively.
- 41:05Speaker 2: And again they're dredging up the burglary across the street
- 41:10Speaker 2: Caddy Corner to Lacey's home.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Listen.
- 41:12Speaker 13: Another request from the La Innocence Project is information regarding
- 41:16Speaker 13: the burglary that took place at the Medinas house across
- 41:19Speaker 13: the street from the Peterson's home sometime between December twenty
- 41:23Speaker 13: four and December twenty six. Kron reports that the two
- 41:27Speaker 13: burglars were caught and during their interviews with police, denied
- 41:31Speaker 13: having anything to do with Lacy Peterson. The La Innocence
- 41:34Speaker 13: Project seeks a complete copy of the Medesto Police Department's
- 41:38Speaker 13: investigation into the burglary, as well as Modesto Police Department
- 41:42Speaker 13: reports on the steps they took to verify the alibis
- 41:46Speaker 13: of the two burglars, Stephen Todd and Donald Glenn Pearce,
- 41:50Speaker 13: establishing their whereabouts on December twenty four, two thousand and two.
- 41:54Speaker 1: And is this the blood they're talking about? Listen?
- 42:00Speaker 16: Suspicious van fire happened on Christmas Day, less than a
- 42:03Speaker 16: mile from the Peterson home, the day Lacy Peterson was
- 42:06Speaker 16: reported missing, and the LA Nison's Project once reports from
- 42:09Speaker 16: the police Department and Fire Department concerning the investigation of
- 42:13Speaker 16: what they call an incendiary fire of an orange van
- 42:15Speaker 16: containing a mattress with a parent bloodstains. Court documents show
- 42:19Speaker 16: the van appeared to have been intentionally ignited to cover
- 42:22Speaker 16: up a crime.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum, did I just hear the word apparent. They
- 42:28Speaker 1: don't even know.
- 42:30Speaker 7: If that's blood, correct, So again, you walk this thing
- 42:35Speaker 7: through forensically.
- 42:36Speaker 4: We don't have blood that came back as Lacey. We
- 42:39Speaker 4: don't have blood that came back from Scott in that van.
- 42:41Speaker 4: We don't have blood that came back from anybody.
- 42:44Speaker 6: Else in that van.
- 42:45Speaker 4: We don't have an eyewitness that saw the van on fire.
- 42:48Speaker 4: We don't have these two burgerers running from that van.
- 42:51Speaker 4: We don't have clothing from Lacey. We don't have hair
- 42:54Speaker 4: from Lacey. We don't have anything in that van connected
- 42:57Speaker 4: to her. We do, however, have her hair in the
- 43:00Speaker 4: pliers in the toolbox inside the boat that she was
- 43:04Speaker 4: never in, never fool with. We do have his blood
- 43:07Speaker 4: in his truck that he said we would find. We
- 43:10Speaker 4: don't have him searching for her, looking for her, calling
- 43:13Speaker 4: the police about her. He didn't do any of that,
- 43:16Speaker 4: none of it. But what we do have is an
- 43:18Speaker 4: insurance policy, multiple affairs, him telling people before she went
- 43:23Speaker 4: missing that she was dead. He refused to take a polygraph.
- 43:27Speaker 4: I mean, it just goes on and on and on,
- 43:29Speaker 4: and even though it's circumstantial. You and I both have
- 43:32Speaker 4: worked how many cases where somebody was killed for a
- 43:34Speaker 4: lot less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
- 43:37Speaker 2: This is all I have to say, Scott Peterson, I'm
- 43:42Speaker 2: going to have my hot tea. You stick to your Pruno,
- 43:47Speaker 2: your jailhouse hooch, because you're going to need a lot
- 43:50Speaker 2: of it when this appeal is rejected, and I'm sure
- 43:56Speaker 2: it will never concern you at all what
- 44:00Speaker 1: You're doing to what is left of Lacey's family.
