And, what the heck was Scott Peterson's motive? I still haven't heard any reasonable explanation for that. Mark Hacking has a perfectly obvious, self-evident motive. What was Scott's motive? Was it the affair? What for? It wasn't even that torrid of an affair. All kind of guys have affairs and they don't pop off their wives. Was it that silly pawn-the-ring theory? LOL
And, let's say that Scott killed his wife in a fit of rage for some reason (e.g., she discovered the affair, or whatever): Where's the luminol evidence? The Hacking home was covered in blood stains; the Peterson home had nothing. Where were the bruises or scratches or other signs of struggle? Witnesses have testified that Scott had no sign of injury and there was no sign of fighting in the home. There was a big deal made early on about some rags recently used for cleaning, but the Luminol would still have revealed any blood stains. There was nothing.
A big deal was also made of Scott's emotional facade in the days after the disappearance, but now it's come out that he went on heavy tranquilizers immediately afterward. It was said that the boat was a big, huge secret but there's the witness who says Laci was at the storage place in the weeks before.
I'm not saying Scott didn't do it somehow or that he might not have arranged it for some mysterious reason, but the prosecution case is riddled with holes and if Scott's not acquitted I will be shocked (unless there's some major revelation we don't yet know about).
The woman claimed to have seen Laci while her husband was watching football.
There were no football games on that day.
What was Scott Peterson's motive? Who knows. I agree that he didn't kill his wife because he wanted to be with another woman. It has been said that Amber Fry called his home when he stood her up Christmas Eve. What if Laci answered the phone, found out about Amber, then confronted Scott? Pathological liars cannot bear to be unmasked. I don't think Scott wanted this child in the first place. If Laci threatened divorce, it would mean child support and possible alimony payments. Dump it all together and, SNAP!
I wonder what kind of evidence the police have in this case. Just because we haven't heard anything about luminol in this case, doesn't mean they don't have that evidence. SP could have killed his wife by strangling her from behind. This would explain the lack of bruises and scratches. We know that the killer duct taped her crotch area. That might be because he didn't know whether the baby might instantly pop out, or for fear that fluids might seep out after death. Scott is smarter than Mark.
It has been reported that Laci sold some inherited jewelry. Imo, that is odd considering their nice home and cars. That's the kind of thing you do in financial desperation.
Let's just sit and wait for the possible bomb that the prosecution may drop in that case.
Scott Peterson's motive was that he was a totally selfish loser who wanted a fresh start in life without the inconvenience of child support payments and killing his pregnant wife seemed like the most convenient way to accomplish that. It was pre-meditated.
