Why the Innocence Project Took Scott Peterson's Case

Scott Peterson was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and sentenced to death. The case against him had no murder weapon, no DNA, and no witnesses. Just circumstantial evidence and a jury that was convinced. In the third and final episode on the murder of Laci Peterson, Katie Ring covers the trial, the verdict, and the developments that have kept the case alive ever since: a van that burned the day after Laci disappeared, a witness whose tip was never followed up, and a DNA test on key evidence whose results have yet to be made public. The question of whether justice was truly served remains very much open. America's Most Infamous Crimes is a true crime podcast from Crime House, hosted by Katie Ring.
