A husband who smiled on camera, a pregnant wife who vanished on Christmas Eve, and a nation that decided — almost instantly — that he was the killer.
But now, the Los Angeles Innocence Project has filed a 2,600-page petition that could force the courts — and the public — to look again.
Their filing doesn’t claim Scott Peterson is innocent. It asks a harder question: What if the story we all accepted isn’t the whole truth?
Inside the petition are four explosive claims:
🔸 The Orange Van Theory — New evidence suggests a burglary across the street from the Petersons’ home happened on December 24, 2002, not two days later. Witnesses say a pregnant woman matching Laci’s description was seen confronting men near an orange van that morning.
🔸 The Burned Mattress — That same van was later found on fire, less than a mile away. Inside, investigators found a mattress soaked in blood. Testing confirmed it was human, but the case file shows it was never fully DNA-typed.
🔸 The Science That Doesn’t Add Up — New hydrodynamic analysis argues the bodies could not have drifted from Scott’s fishing location to where they were found. The tides, currents, and physics simply don’t match the prosecution’s 2004 theory.
🔸 The 126-Page Declaration — Scott Peterson himself has finally spoken, dismantling the case point-by-point. He maintains, “There was no direct or forensic evidence ever linking me to the crime.”
Could this be the first real crack in one of America’s most famous murder convictions — or just the latest illusion from a man who’s been lying since day one?
In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we take the objective view almost no one dares to ask:
What if Scott Peterson didn’t do it?
