The Double Life of Scott Peterson: Defending Scott Peterson — Ep. 4 | MK Confidential

“MK Confidential” goes inside Scott Peterson’s defense. His future lawyer, Mark Geragos, spends weeks analyzing the case from a cable news desk — then, Scott's mother asked to meet him, and for him to meet Scott face-to-face. Three weeks later, Geragos walks out of a courthouse as Peterson’s lead defense attorney, calling him "stone cold innocent" in his opening statement.
Megyn sits down with Geragos more than twenty years later to ask him about all the twists and turns of this case, including: the six eyewitnesses he promised the jury and never called, the boat demonstration the judge kept out of evidence, a detective who admits to striking a line from his own report, and the tapes of Scott at Laci's vigil that his own co-counsel says will sink the case.
Inside the courtroom, the trial turns on dueling experts, a dismissed juror who says he would have voted to acquit, and an online shopping query that upends the prosecution's own timeline. This is Episode 4 of the Laci Peterson story.

AI GeneratedDefense attorney Mark Garagos discusses his representation of Scott Peterson, arguing that Peterson lacked the psychological capacity for murder. He contends that public hatred, fueled by Peterson's infidelity and media influence, overshadowed the lack of physical evidence and led to a conviction based on emotional reactions rather than forensic proof.
