Big Disappointment
I went into this book with a totally open mind. I, knowing that the author is 100% convinced that Scott killed Laci and Conner, was looking for something which would convince me as well "beyond a reasonable doubt." I left this book no more convinced than when I began that Scott is guilty. This book is advertised as having all of this additional information that has never been revealed which would be sure to shed more light on Scott's guilt. Personally, I didn't see it in this book. What I saw, is a woman who is hell bent convinced that Scott is guilty and her agenda is very clear, to convince everyone that she is right. Granted, Scott is clearly a pathological liar but this book did not convince me that he is a murderer. I hope that someone could write a book which would be more convincing of Scott's guilt because if this is the best those who consider him guilty have got, it is scanty proof (at best). Frankly, I don't understand how the jury convicted him if all of the evidence they were presented with has been outlined in this book. I am no proponent of Scott or opponent of Laci & Conner. I, as an attorney myself, tried to go into this book with an open mind. I walked away unconvinced of Scott's guilt. Perhaps if one of the prosecutors or jurors writes a book, I'd feel differently. Laci's family was 100% behind Scott until they found out he was a cheater. Then it was a 180 turnabout. Granted he is a lying cheater, but does that make him a cold blooded murderer. No cause of death was ever determined, no "convincing" motive, no DNA or other incriminating forensic evidence, no witnesses, no confessions, no "real proof." Just hunches. I also have a hard time putting my mind around the fact that EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY person who knew Scott & Laci personally thought they were "problem free." Laci's best friends, Laci's family, etc. EVERYONE. Is Scott such a good actor?? Should he have pursued a career in Hollywood instead? Was Laci either that oblivious to her husband's true persona or so dishonest with every single person in her life that she hid the problems of her marriage from EVERYONE?! I find that hard to believe from a person who (as her friends and family admit) could not stop talking (though they say so lovingly). Granted, the defense really never did offer any other VIABLE explanation for what happened to Laci & Conner. Perhaps, Scott is guilty. Perhaps, Scott never anticipated that this case would get the media attention which it had. Perhaps, Scott's false grandiosity convinced him that he'd get away with murder?? I don't know. What I do know, is that THIS book did not leave me more convinced one way or another. It was just a book with a clear agenda to convince society that Scott is guilty without any real evidence.
