The crime
Apologies for cribbing from my own American Murder: Laci Peterson review, but:

On or around December 24, 2002, Laci Peterson – eight months pregnant with her and her husband Scott’s first child, a son they’d already named Conner – vanished in Modesto, CA. Laci and Conner’s bodies were discovered, a mile apart, in April of 2003, at which time the suspicions that had swirled with increasing intensity around Scott reached terminal velocity.

Scott Peterson was convicted of the murders of his wife and son in 2004. Various post-conviction relief efforts remain in progress. Scott has never wavered in his claims of complete innocence.

Peacock's Face to Face with Scott Peterson adds to that summary the possibility that prosecutors committed Brady violations, and that that plus Modesto police intransigence meant Peterson didn't – couldn't – receive a fair trial.

The story
Face to Face opens on Janey Peterson, Scott Peterson's sister-in-law, and her archive of case materials – flyers, letters from supporters, buttons with Laci's smiling face on them – and then quickly notes that Scott himself will talk to filmmaker Shareen Anderson (Trial by Fury: The People vs. Scott Peterson; Po Kutchins co-directs), having not spoken on-camera since 2003.
