Face to Face With Scott Peterson

21 years after he last spoke to the media, the convicted murderer opts to tell his side of the story on-camera in Face to Face with Scott Peterson. The results are, to put it mildly, less than convincing.

The biggest problem with “Face to Face” is it was probably made too soon. For example, the Innocence Project’s request to have evidence gathered from a suspicious burned-out van discovered near the Peterson house to be DNA tested was just made in July, and a judge has not yet ruled on the request. .... Its biggest strength is its interviews with Peterson.

Even with Scott’s new testimony, the series isn’t adding anything new to the narrative that didn’t already exist.
