Scott Patterson Case Summary

The legal issue as discussed above is related to whether there is enough physical evidence to say that Scott Peterson is the murderer.

However, the Illinois State Police crime lab proved that it was in fact Christopher Vaughn’s blood on it. His wife’s blood was also found on the center console, but it was disturbed before it began to congeal. In addition, it appeared that some of her blood on the console was wiped towards the passenger seat from the driver’s seat. Kish concluded that someone had come into
