A month or so before Laci was dead, when Peterson started his affair with Amber Frey, he told Frey he was single.

Of course he did; what else could he say? And your point is....what? Obviously Scott was lying to Amber so he could improve his chances of getting her into bed. Predictably, it worked. Had Scott been honest with her("I'm happily married, but my wife is quite pregnant and totally uninterested in sex, so I just want to F another woman"), even an easy girl like Amber would've avoided him.

Millions of men, many of them married, do this every day. They lie to women in order to have sex with them. That doesn't make them guilty of murder.

He did tell a lot of other lies to Amber, as all adulterers are forced to do. The bulk of which were false excuses as to why he couldn't spend time with her. This is important to understand. "I can't be with you on New Year's because I'll be in Paris". All adulterers lie, but most of them lie to their wives more than anyone. Scott was lying to his mistress, not his wife. Regardless, none of it is evidence that Scott killed Laci. Where is the evidence?
Amber wasn't his first adulterous relationship, so having sex with another woman was not related to his wife being pregnant. He murdered his wife because he didn't want children. He had always said that he didn't want children, and was very happy that Laci had surgery as a child where an ovary was removed. She believed that she could not have children, so the pregnancy was a surprise for both of them. Laci was happy about it, Scott wasn't.

No death row prisoners in California are in "general population" they are all single celled until they are executed, they take meals in their cells and except for doctor's appts or yard time that's where they spend their time. When they go to the exercise yard they are held in individual cages, here's a photo of them

I had no idea that he was treated like an animal even when he is outside. What a gruesome life. When was the last time that California executed a death row prisoner?

2006, if I remember correctly it was the oldest inmate ever executed in California he was in his late 70's. But a voter referendum was passed in 2016 speeding up death row appeals so I would expect that there will be several executed in the next few years.

Isn't that interesting. I think a lot of people assumed, as I did, that death row didn't really mean anything in California. What a shock for Scott to learn that it may actually result in a premature death.

There's nothing nice about California prisons. Until the Supreme Court stopped the practice in 2014 mentally ill inmates were held in solitary confinement for the duration of their sentence, now they are placed with other inmates unless they are considered dangerous, but they still conduct group therapy the same way, with the mentally ill inmates in cages:

Wow, those cages look the same size as their cell. Really, from one cage to the next. Yikes.
