More than two decades after his arrest for the 2002 Christmas Eve killing of his wife and unborn son in a case that captivated the country, Scott Peterson is speaking out.
Peterson will be featured in a three-part docuseries called “Face to Face with Scott Peterson.” It’s his first interview on camera in 21 years.
In the series, Peterson opens up about the case and discusses his extramarital affair with Amber Frey.
“It’s horrible,” he says in the series, according to People . “I was a total a-hole to be having sex outside our marriage.”
During trial, prosecutors argued that Peterson killed his family so he could walk away from his marriage without paying spousal and child support.
“That is so offensive and so disgusting,” he says. “I certainly regret cheating on Laci, absolutely. It was about a childish lack of self-esteem, selfish me traveling somewhere, lonely that night because I wasn’t at home. Someone makes you feel good because they want to have sex with you.”
He also denies involvement in murdering his wife Laci, 27, and their unborn son Conner.
