    Episode 2: Scott Peterson's Death Row Confession?
    Sep 5 2024

    Former public defender-turned-author Donna Thomas is our guest.

    In her controversial book, "I'm Sorry I lied to You, The Confession of Scott Peterson," she claims the convicted killer confessed to her that he murdered Laci Peterson.


    She's a timely guest in light of two different docuseries now out on Netflix and Peacock on the 20th Anniversary of the murder, and the LA Innocence Project's attempts at getting Peterson a new trial.

    Donna takes us inside San Quentin and shares nuggets about Peterson and the case you won't hear anywhere else.
