I watched #AmericanMurder #LaciPeterson on #Netflix. A sad reminder of the banality of sheer evil. Laci's mom Susan Rocha is amazing and inspiring with her focus on Laci's life. "For those that got out in time, and those that didn't." pic.twitter.com/ftXqMg9RLc

Where is Scott Peterson now? Did he kill his wife Laci Peterson?
On April 18, 2003, Scott Peterson was taken into custody just a few days after the bodies of Laci Peterson and her unborn child were found in San Francisco Bay. Scott entered a not guilty plea after being charged with two counts of murder. He was given the death penalty by a judge in 2005 after the jury recommended it. The initial decision was overturned by the California Supreme Court in 2020, noting "a series of clear and significant errors in jury selection."
