I dont think he himself did it... I think he knows who did and I think they did it because of $$$$$$$.

The reason I dont think he himself did it was WHERES THE EVIDENCE??? yes, he is a SLIME BALL!!!! for the cheating on his wife and saying that he wanted to be with Amber for the rest of their lives but that doesnt mean hes the one who dumped her in the bay.

---

so you think he paid someone to do it? so then he's guilty, no?

---

Yes, guilty of having some part in her disappearance but of the actual killing... no.

No, I agree that that in itself does not mean he did it BUT fishing by yourself Christmas Eve in the same water their bodies were found and not one single person on earth can corroborate your story...

Sorry, I don't buy it.

Yes, its all suspicious BUT there is nothing to prove he did anything wrong except lie to everyone. No blood, no one saw him, no signs of a struggle. Its all circumstancial evidence... if he DID do it then he is one HECK of a planner!

No evidence???? How about the needle nose plyers they found on his boat with Lacy's hair on it along with the bucket of concrete and blood? To me thats evidence enough! Just like dani said the fact the he was headed to the mexican border with new hair thousands of dollars in his pocket and someone elses ID? The fact that he had a girlfriend (and didnt he tell her that his wife was dead?) and called her during Lacy candle light vigil and called her Sweetheart and they have it all on tape. HE DESERVES TO ROTT OR EVEN BETTER DIE JUST LIKE POOR LACY AND HIS UNBORN SON DIED!!!!!

The way he carries himself creeps the he77 outta me.

I followed pretty closely - I think he has a classic pompus two bit hussler with a deep seeded sense of entitlement. Looks like he didn't change his routine much between Laci and the gf. Flowers, lies, ect.

I think he did it for the 'freedom', insurance money, to be with the gf. Makes me sick - how hard is it to say I want a divorce.

Im sure my DH has a pair of plyers in his tool box in his trailer that has some of my hair on it. They didnt find her blood in a bucket of concrete that I saw anywhere. Yes, heading toward the border with $$ and his brothers ID is SUSPICIOUS but that doesnt mean he did it. Yes, hes a POS. I will never deny that. But he was keeping up with his whole deal of not being married... he's lied to her about everything but his name, dont you think that he would want to keep up the lie? And I know its a big deal that his wife was missing and he was talking to Amber but when his wife was around he was sleeping with her!!!! Hes a horrible person but that doesnt make him a murderer.

I just read that Christmas Eve night, he called his brother in law and asked him if he or ANYONE else had seen or heard from Laci 'yesterday and today'
He told police he saw her CHRISTMAS EVE morning. Why would he ask if anyone saw her 'yesterday' when he saw her that morning? Doesn't jive with me.....

I think he did it, or had someone do it for him!!!

I def think he did it. I hope he doesn't get away with it.

No question he did it, and he should suffer and be punished accordingly. The fact that he may get acquitted to go play golf with OJ turns my stomach.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

he is so guilty. I would be very upset if he gets aways with it.

me too...that poor family.

I'm with kptoys...where's the evidence? He may have been involved, but it's very difficult to murder someone and not leave behind any evidence.

Remember, the jurors can only find the defendant guilty if they're convinced beyond a reasonable doubt.

Here are the taped conversations. Just reading makes me thing even more that he did it. How can anyone kill their own child?


REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — After weeks of swallowing Scott Peterson's lies, Amber Frey angrily lashed out at her deceitful lover, telling him in tape-recorded phone calls that she suspected he was involved in his pregnant wife's disappearance.

In the calls played Thursday at his double-murder trial, the mistress confronted Peterson about a conversation they had weeks before his wife, Laci, vanished in which the fertilizer salesman said he had 'lost' his spouse recently and would be spending his first holiday without her.

He reported the 27-year-old mother-to-be missing on Dec. 24, 2002.

'Are you psychic? I mean you predicted your wife would be missing,' an indignant Frey shouted during one of three Jan. 6, 2003, calls played for jurors. 'This is the biggest coincidence ever!'

He insisted he was not 'evil like that.'

'I had nothing to do with her disappearance,' he whimpered.

'Save your tears,' Frey snapped back.

Recordings of calls and a tape of a fourth conversation occupied Frey's third day as a witness. As she did for much of Wednesday's court session, however, the 29-year-old massage therapist sat not in the witness chair, but in the spectator's gallery, following along with a transcript as her conversations with Peterson echoed through the room.

In the calls, Peterson, who did not know he was being recorded, maintained his innocence, but refused to answer most of the questions Frey asked, including why he tricked her into thinking he was single and whether he was the father of Laci Peterson's child.

'I cannot tell you everything,' he said after she pressed him several times on the paternity of the baby.

DNA tests proved the fetus was his, but in the calls Peterson twice referred to his unborn son as 'her child.'

Prosecutors contend Peterson killed his wife because he dreaded the responsibilities of fatherhood and wanted to pursue a relationship with Frey.

Tone changes

The tapes, made after Peterson admitted he had lied, portrayed a different side to the massage therapist than recordings played for jurors Tuesday and Wednesday. In those calls, Frey knew of Peterson's deception, but had agreed to go along with the charade to allow police to tape their conversations.

In those calls, Frey cooed to Peterson about rainbows and Bible study in a girlish, high-pitched voice. But in the recordings played Thursday, Frey was by turns antagonistic and sarcastic as she told Peterson — sometimes profanely — that he had ruined her life.

'I didn't need this in my life. I didn't need for somebody to come in and to f--- it up. I have worked too hard,' she screamed into the phone.

In the gallery, Frey wiped tears from her eyes with a tissue. Peterson stared down at his transcript on the defense table.

The single mother dated Peterson for six weeks believing he was a bachelor who wanted a future with her and her toddler daughter.

With his wife's disappearance gaining massive national attention, Peterson came clean to Frey on Jan. 6.

In the calls, Peterson told his mistress that he wanted his wife back and had no idea what had happened to her. When he suggested that his wife's disappearance might be linked to a neighborhood robbery, a dubious-sounding Frey shot back, 'Well, robbers don't steal people.'

Frey told Peterson that the only thing that would change her opinion was the safe return of his wife.

'God, I hope she is found alive,' he said. 'We all hope she's found alive. We're all working for that.'

He said he still thought someone might be 'holding her for her child and that we can, you know, get her back with a tip.'

In the calls, Peterson did not mention loving or missing his wife, but said again and again that he was dismayed about the loss of his relationship with Frey.

'I lied to you, and I hate myself for that,' he said, and later referred to his lies as 'a sin.'

Sins of the father

Peterson told Frey during hours of conversations after his wife disappeared that he was visiting his family in Maine and then on a business trip in Europe.

They had long discussions about their relationship, favorite movies and Frey's daughter, Ayianna. The talks occurred while volunteers were combing northern California for signs of Laci Peterson.

'If you really cared about her and your baby, then why didn't you just let me go when she came up missing?' Frey asked.

Peterson said that he felt it was the right thing to do.

'It wouldn't have been fair to never have called,' he said.

She told him she thought it was 'twisted' that 'you have a missing pregnant wife and you're talking to your girlfriend.'

'It sounds terrible,' Peterson admitted. He explained that the conversation cheered him with 'positive energy.'

At one point, he insisted he had never cheated on Frey, prompting her to guffaw.

'You're married. How do you figure you never cheated on me?' she asked.

'I want to explain to you, Amber,' he said, but then told her that for her protection and the protection of others, he could not.

Throughout the two phone calls, Peterson repeatedly told Frey that she did not understand the whole story and that he wanted to explain his actions and his marriage to her, but could not.

Sometimes he told her that he could not explain it because he wanted to protect her, his family and his wife's family. At another point, however, he said he did not want her to give information to the press, especially 'cowboy reporters.'

When Frey asked if Peterson had planned a future with her, he answered, 'I can't tell you everything now. I'm so sorry.'

Among the things Peterson said he could not explain was why he told her that he did not want any children of his own and was considering a vasectomy.

'All along knowing you have a baby on the way. Explain that to me,' Frey demanded.

'Sweetie, I can't. I cannot tell you everything now,' he said.

An exasperated Frey later asked, 'If she's found and she's dead, can we still talk about it?'

'My God, don't say that,' Peterson said.

Pointed questions

The final call played for jurors Thursday came the day after Frey's emotional confrontation and seemed to have a different tone. A detective testified that officers sometimes fed Frey questions to ask Peterson, and in the Jan. 7 conversations, her words sounded stilted at times.

'So, how are you going to plea your innocence?' she asked.

Peterson told her, 'I don't have to. I know I am innocent.'

His responses also seem more carefully crafted. He told her that while he hoped to someday have a relationship with her, he thought it unlikely she could ever trust him.

'I would consider me a complete a--hole who's done everything to Amber that she does not deserve and question if she could ever trust me again,' he said.

When Frey asked if Laci Peterson knew of their affair, he said — as he later told police and reporters — that she did and was 'fine' with it.

'An eighth-month [pregnant] woman, fine about another woman,' Frey repeated incredulously.

'You don't know all the facts. Amber, you don't know all the facts,' Peterson replied.

She pressed him further, but he maintained his wife was aware he had a mistress.

'Unbelievable,' Frey exclaimed.

Before he dismissed jurors for the weekend, Judge Alfred Delucchi told them to anticipate spending Monday and most of Tuesday listening to more phone calls between Frey and Peterson.

Peterson faces the death penalty if convicted. The trial concluded its 11th week Thursday.

I dont know about anyone else but this shouldnt be the face of a husband who's wife is missing at a candle light vigil for her and your unborn son Who by the way scott denied was his.
