| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Psych Legal Pop podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | This is a podcast where we talked about popular culture through the lens of an attorney and a therapist. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Brooke Brigham, I'm the attorney, and I'm Tess Brigham, I'm the therapist. |
| 0:15.0 | And today we are going to be talking about the dueling documentaries about the Scott Peterson, Lacey Peterson |
| 0:24.5 | murder case. And I just want to say up front, like if you're the type of person who is not |
| 0:31.5 | even willing to entertain an alternate theory of the case or to entertain whether or not Scott Peterson received a fair trial |
| 0:41.2 | or not, then you should probably just turn it off now. Because we're going to be talking about this. |
| 0:46.5 | And this case evokes very strong feelings in people. And we did an episode about Scott Peterson not too long ago. I think it was |
| 0:58.4 | episode 153. And it was actually one of our most downloaded episodes. But we got a lot of |
| 1:04.3 | shit for it. Created the most negative feedback. Someone on Apple podcast reviews called us nitwits. |
| 1:15.9 | So if you can't, if you don't want to hear it, just turn it off now. |
| 1:21.4 | Thank you for, you know, but listen to a different episode because that's what we're going to be talking about. |

| 1:32.6 | going to yell at us. You know what I mean? Like, well, we can't. We can't respond on Apple |
| 1:36.8 | market. We can't respond, but we had people talking on Instagram and this and that. It's like, |
| 1:40.9 | if I am totally open to talking to someone and debating them, but you can't |
| 1:46.8 | start off messages being like, you two idiots, you know, blah, blah, blah, but, but, but, but, right? So, |
| 1:51.7 | here's the thing. If this was open and shut, then we would not still be talking about this. Yeah, there |
| 1:59.5 | wouldn't be two documentaries coming out within weeks of each other. |
| 2:02.5 | 20 years later. Yeah. So there is a reason for this. And listen, I'm going to say right now, I don't know if he did it. I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes I think he did. Sometimes I think he didn't. Sometimes I'm here this. Sometimes there. It's so much of it is about, you know, what I've just heard and all of that kind of stuff. |
| 2:20.7 | I, the didn't. Sometimes I'm here, this, sometimes there. So much of it is about, you know, what I've just heard and all of that kind of stuff. |
| 2:20.7 | The one thing that I know for sure, and I will fight to the bitter end, is that he did not get a fair trial, |
