Scott Peterson documentaries

I had zero plans to watch the Netflix show. It just hurts my heart too much to think of that sweet young woman and her baby being treated that way. And so unnecessarily. So you don’t want a child? Get a divorce! You don’t even have to see the child if you don’t want to. I didn’t follow the case closely when it was all over the news. I can’t believe it has been 22 years! I ended up telling myself I would start watching the first episode and would shut it off if I got too upset. It still bothered me, but not as much as it would have if it had been slanted in support of Scott.

I didn’t know Amber had a child and wonder how Scott would have handled that long term if he had just divorced Laci and dated Amber. I bet she freaked out about the possible danger her child could have been in. I know I would have. I was disgusted when Scott was telling her she was brave for going on camera and telling the police she was dating him. She did a very good job of holding herself together knowing she was talking to a man that murdered his pregnant wife.

I don’t know how anyone could actually think he was innocent. I mean sure, his family doesn’t want to believe he was capable of it, but I wonder how he explained his actions and lies to his parents as they came to light. He was just so stupid. He obviously felt nothing toward her and his son, but he should have at least realized he should be acting as if he did. I wonder if his family told him to act like he was upset? I know if I was his mom, I would have had so many questions about what he said and did. His demeanor and behavior were just asking to be suspected.

I did learn something that I didn’t know. That the leading cause of death for a pregnant woman is murder! Nothing medical, but murder? That is shocking to me. I would have thought hemorrhage or sepsis or something like that.
