In part three of our coverage of Laci Peterson's murder, we delve into the trial of her husband, Scott Peterson. The high-profile trial was a high-stakes legal battle that hinged on forensic evidence, witness testimonies, and the portrayal of Scott Peterson's character.

We explore how the prosecution painted Scott as a callous and deceitful husband who sought to escape his marriage through murder, while the defense argued that there was no direct evidence linking him to the crime. Expert witnesses, including forensic specialists and psychologists, provided crucial insights into the case.

Join us as we unravel the complexities of the trial, the strategies employed by both sides, and the impact of the verdict.
