Scott Peterson: Reasonable Doubt?

Laci Peterson was almost eight months pregnant when she vanished from her Modesto home on Christmas Eve, 2002. Four months later, she and her unborn son Conner washed ashore in San Francisco Bay, just miles from where her husband Scott said he'd been fishing alone. Scott Peterson was convicted of their murders in 2004. But in 2026, the Los Angeles Innocence Project is fighting to tear that conviction down with what they call new evidence. So did the jury get it right?In this episode we walk through the entire case in the exact order investigators lived it: the dog found alone with its leash, the ninety-mile fishing alibi, the two dead-end theories that nearly sent the investigation sideways, the secret girlfriend whose recorded phone calls changed everything, the bodies that surfaced at Scott's own alibi spot, and the dramatic arrest near the Mexican border. Then we get into what almost nobody covers honestly: the brand new "innocence" evidence, and the April 2026 court ruling that rejected all fourteen of its claims.Follow us: linktr.ee/triggeredthepodcastMake sure to follow us on social media and check out everywhere you can listen at linktr.ee/triggeredthepodcastContact us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
