There was never DNA evidence that Scott Peterson committed this crime. He was convicted solely on circumstantial evidence. He also wasn't well-liked because he was having an affair on his wife, and seemed to show no sorrow over her death. But that does not make him a murderer. I really don't know if he killed his wife or if someone else did.
DNA evidence is circumstantial evidence, and most criminals are convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence.
Laci and Scott had been fishing in his boat where a strand of Laci's hair was found in a rusty tool. This strand of hair was not 'Circumstantial DNA'.
No fan of Scott Peterson. Prosecutions heavy focus on Amber Frey wasn't considered by jury as 'motive' during deliberations...
Defense spent little time on the robbery by two men across from Petersons home the very same day of Laci's disappearance. Simply Coincidence? Don't know.

That's incorrect.
Laci and Scott had not been fishing in the boat he purchase ten days before she disappeared.
All DNA evidence is circumstantial.
The robbers were ruled out because they were there on a different day than the day that Laci was reported missing.

According to People magazine ?
Its all been discussed umpteen times with transcript, believe what you wish.

Please share the link to the article that states that Laci and Scott went for a ride in the boat he purchased shortly prior to murdering her, and that this is the reason her hair was in the boat.
DNA has always been circumstantial evidence and no magazine should state otherwise.
I think that, although Scott didn't love Laci, I'm not sure that he murdered her.
I believe he was in a bad marriage and wanted out, that's why he was cheating with Amber. He was having difficulty with his job, I read that he was going to be let go because his sales weren't good enough. Laci didn't work and so they only had his income to rely on. They had to maintain a certain standard of living, though, including having a housekeeper, driving nice cars, designer handbags, etc. He was probably stressed out, wanted out of the marriage, and cheated; but I don't think that's sufficient evidence to say he murdered her.

Ummmm...no.
Whether or not her killed her...(although I think he did.)
He was the "bad" in that marriage. A baby on the way and he was a total, selfish d-bag.
HE was the one who wanted to appear like he was "someone" and had to maintain a certain style.
His sales weren't good enough because he was lying to everyone & focused on himself 24/7.
Laci DID work as a substitute teacher. They also sold a restaurant prior to her death.
They both owned older cars....a pickup truck and Land Rover.
They had a modest house for Modesto standards and she owned one older Vuitton handbag.
Guy is/was a POS.
"He was probably stressed out?" Seriously? I wonder if Laci & Conner were stressed out while begging for their lives.

Maybe the whole idea of circumstantial evidence needs to be revisited? We are now about 1,000 years out of the english middle ages.
