In a surprising turn of events, convicted murderer Scott Peterson has broken his long silence in a three-part Peacock true crime docuseries. Titled "Face to Face with Scott Peterson," the series, set to debut on August 20, will feature Peterson's first on-camera interview since 2003, where he will discuss the high-profile murders of his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Conner.

The official teaser trailer for the docuseries was released on Monday, showcasing jailhouse footage of Peterson being interviewed. However, his actual statements were not revealed in the trailer. Peacock has announced that the series will provide Peterson the opportunity to present his side of the story, with series director Shareen Anderson conducting the interviews. Anderson has been investigating the murder case for over a decade.

The release of "Face to Face with Scott Peterson" coincides with the Los Angeles Innocence Project's decision to reopen Peterson's case, as the 20th anniversary of his conviction approaches. The non-profit organization, known for its work in exonerating the wrongly convicted, claims that Peterson's state and federal constitutional rights were infringed upon and that new evidence supports his claim of innocence.

Scott Peterson was convicted of murder in 2004 and initially received a death sentence, which was later commuted to life in prison without parole. While there are still many who believe in his guilt, Peterson's family and experts closely involved in the case have spent over two decades tirelessly uncovering inconsistencies in the evidence and exploring alternate theories surrounding Laci's murder.

The producers of the Peacock docuseries released a statement on Monday, acknowledging the ongoing controversy surrounding the case: "While many still believe the jury got it right, Scott's family and experts close to the case have spent over 20 years committed to uncovering inconsistencies in the evidence as well as finding new information around alternative theories surrounding Laci's murder."

As the Peacock docuseries prepares to shed new light on the case and Peterson's defense, it remains to be seen whether the LA Innocence Project's investigation will yield any significant breakthroughs. The lasting impact of this high-profile case continues to captivate the public's attention, with millions eagerly awaiting the unveiling of Scott Peterson's side of the story in "Face to Face with Scott Peterson."
