    Start by saying it is NOT The Innocence Project! Anything less is as misleading as they are, but for clicks.
  • @calisuds9830
    He is guilty...he changed his hair color and was heading for the border. Instead of looking for his pregnant wives he was on the phone talking to Amber Fry.
  • @calisuds9830
    Burglars turned killers? Its was christmas time...i dont think burglars go on a killing a baby ready to be born and a pregnant woman and dumped them at the ocean where scott petterson was fishing. 😂😂😂😂 omg
  • @jonal42
    he is lucky he is not on death row.. leave it at that. and they must put what they call salt peter in food, he looks young and like a girl hee
  • @TheOuterDrive
    The lawyers representing Scott should be arrested and charged
  • @Pray4All
    Perfectly said John Beuler. They had the best detectives on that case. Guilty 👎🏻
  • @klmartini906
    I thought the same but after hearing some of the evidence that was deliberately ignored and witness statements that were never heard . I think I might be wrong
  • @ivandesantis858
    I'm good with him walking on the murder of his wife and unborn child as soon as another 8 month pregnant woman washes up 90 miles from her home in the same marina her husband just happened to go fishing on the day of her disappearance but until then he should remain behind bars where he belongs
  • Those of us who lived throught this case every single day know the truth. There is so much evidence its not possible to overlook the truth.
  • @mizzury54
    The LA Innocence Project has now lost their "fair amount of credibility". Their job is not to help create a reasonable doubt which is exactly what he wants here. Their historical role has been presenting actual evidence that someone else committed a crime .
  • @katiedid1851
    They do a lot of research, before taking a case. I support them. Juries are not supposed to make decisions without all the reports/information.
  • He did it don’t let this murderer out of prison. I don’t know why this system always go back and forth to retrial someone who lied and committed murder of his wife and son.
  • @Ceeshore
    go ahead, have another trial - guilty, as charged - the witnesses that they proclaim saw Laci walking her dog say they saw a pregnant woman wearing black pants and a white shirt - Laci was found with beige pants, so obviously they didn't see Laci. Also, Laci was told not to exercise per doctor's orders due to her fainting or feeling dizzy - this is a waste of money.
  • It’s not small. La innocent project doesn’t take cases they don’t think they can win.
  • This is a waste of the Innocence Project funds. That man murdered his wife hands down. Shame on you for spending the programs money on this garbage
