CrimeCon 2026

Scott Peterson became the center of one of the most infamous murder cases in modern American history after he was convicted of killing his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Conner. A&E’s upcoming documentary special, "Scott Peterson: The New Evidence" explores a recent bombshell petition that introduced potential new evidence that could challenge the prosecution's account of the murders more than twenty years after their tragic deaths. In the special, veteran defense attorney and ABC News legal consultant, Chris Pixley, conducts an in-depth examination of the evidence, undertaking a meticulous analysis of the timeline and other crucial details surrounding the case, including never-before-heard witness statements and more.

Join Pixley in this session where he will lead a discussion with Scott Peterson’s defense attorney Mark Geragos and retired LAPD Detective and current police practices expert Ninette Toosbuy to discuss the recent developments of the case and revisit some of the most vexing questions about what really happened to Laci and Conner. Pulling back the curtain on a case that continues to divide public opinion, this session examines the evolving evidence and the enduring complexity of high-profile convictions.
