Dueling documentaries are being released about the death of Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner.

Netflix is debuting American Murder: Laci Peterson, a three-part docuseries directed by Skye Borgman. The series includes Laci’s mother, Sharon Rocha, speaking publicly for the first time since Laci’s tragic death. The second documentary, Face to Face with Scott Peterson, is a new three-part series premiering on Peacock on August 20. In this series, Scott Peterson, who was accused of the murder, speaks for the first time in the 21 years since his arrest.

Peterson reportedly admits to being unfaithful, calling himself a “total a-hole” for having an affair, but continues to deny killing Laci. Peterson was involved with Amber Frey at the time of Laci’s disappearance. Laci’s stepfather, Ron Grantski, reported that she was missing, not her husband.

Initially, Scott Peterson told friends he had gone to play golf, but later changed his story to say he went fishing. Peterson has been fighting for years to overturn his conviction.

Although his death sentence was initially overturned, the California Supreme Court upheld his conviction while overturning the death sentence due to the improper dismissal of some jurors based on their views on the death penalty. Peterson remains in prison, sentenced to life without parole, but he is not giving up.

To secure a new trial, Scott Peterson’s legal team requested DNA testing on more than a dozen pieces of evidence.

However, after hearing the arguments, the judge ruled that only a single 15.5-inch piece of duct tape found on Laci Peterson’s pants during her autopsy would be tested for DNA. The court denied requests to test all other evidence.
