No one knows the story behind the sensational headlines of the
Scott Peterson murder trial better than defense attorney Matt
Dalton. For six straight months after Peterson's arrest, Dalton was
the defense's only full-time investigative attorney on the case.
During that time, he lived in Modesto and investigated every
element of the case, interviewing scores of witnesses, reviewing
more than 35,000 pages of police documents, and meeting almost
daily with Scott Peterson in jail.
What he has uncovered will astound even the most informed
observers of the Laci Peterson murder case and challenge the most
deeply held beliefs about what really happened to Laci Peterson on
Christmas Eve, 2002.
This is the first book to go inside the Peterson defense team,
and the only book to detail all the evidence that the jury did not
hear -- evidence that might have led to Scott Peterson's acquittal,
and that will surely play a crucial part in his pending
appeals.
Among the revelations in "Presumed Guilty": Reports from
numerous witnesses who saw Laci Peterson alive and well the morning
of December 24, after the police claim Scott Peterson had already
killed her; none of them testified at trial The story of another
woman, eight months pregnant, who was harassed by two men the
morning of December 24 only five blocks from the Peterson home The
burglary that reportedly occurred directly across the street from
the Peterson home on the morning of December 24, and the confessed
burglars' questionable claims that the burglary happened days later
Previously unreported details of the autopsy reports on Laci
Peterson and her son, which cast strong doubts on key elements of
the prosecution's case Thedisappearances of six pregnant women, in
addition to Laci, reported missing and presumed dead within eighty
miles of Modesto between 1999 and 2002
Compelling, provocative, disturbing, "Presumed Guilty" is the
fascinating story of one lawyer's relentless efforts to find the
truth behind one of the most complex and notorious murder cases in
American history.
