Scott Peterson (convicted murderer)


 

Scott Lee Peterson (born October 24, 1972 in San Diego, California – c. 2007) is a former fertilizer salesman convicted in a high-profile California double murder case.

Motive

Peterson's affair with Amber Frey was never presented to the jury as a probable motive for the crime. However, the prosecution did present the affair as indicative of Peterson's bad character. Alternatively, some have claimed Peterson murdered Laci out of a desire to return to the "bachelor" lifestyle, where he would be free from the obligations of his impending family life; however, it was pointed out that Amber Frey herself had a child. It is not clear if any motive for the crime was presented to the jury as such.
