The Double Life of Scott Peterson: Justice For Laci and Conner — Ep. 5 | MK Confidential

“MK Confidential” closes the Scott Peterson case — and then reopens it. In the courthouse garage, jurors climb aboard Peterson's boat, testing what it would take to tip it over. Two of them won't be there for the verdict. The jury loses its foreman and another member mid-deliberation, gets rebuilt twice, and convicts within eight hours of starting fresh for the last time.
Megyn walks through the verdict and eventual death sentence, including Sharon Rocha's raw, unscripted testimony at the penalty phase. Then, she follows the appeals, centered on a flawed jury screening process, juror letters to Scott Peterson post-conviction, and alleged new evidence.
Two appeals are still pending. Twenty-three years later, Scott Peterson follows them from prison, and his wife’s exact cause of death remains a mystery. This is the finale of the Laci Peterson story.
