Book Description

December 21, 2004
Finally, here is an in-depth analysis of the most important factors surrounding the Laci Peterson murder case. Brad Knight discusses with fresh clarity and candid frankness the deadly love triangle of Laci, Scott and Amber, as well as many of the pivotal issues that were brought into the original investigation. Since then, much of this key evidence has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media.

In Laci Peterson: The Whole Story, learn answers to questions that you would never have thought to ask, but will wish you had. The author, intriguingly, lays out and compares several powerful new theories that the trial lawyers could have effectively worked to their advantage. Inside you will find the best legal, analytical, investigative, and most of all--descriptive literary work available until now on the subject; all put into a wholesome, down-to-earth, and common sense perspective.

Knight presents:

  • Rare interviews with primary but discreet participants.
  • The reason why prosecutors should've called Cory Carroll as a witness.
  • A powerful version of possible prosecution and defense closing arguments.
  • Plus a whole roller coaster ride of fascinating incidents throughout the case.

1.0 out of 5 stars The whole story? Not by a long shot!, February 9, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Laci Peterson: The Whole Story (Paperback)
I couldn't have been more disappointed in this book that reads like a self-published cheapie. The first example of the caliber of this writer's grammar came on the first page when Knight writes, "...myself and several reporters had received ..." Other examples of poor grammar and punctuation abound. Habitually plurals of names are made by adding an apostrophe and s. Speaking of the couple the Petersons, he writes Peterson's; similar errors detract from the story such as it is. Duh! Where was this guy's editor?

Of course, the biggest downer is that you don't find oout until several pages into the book that since there is so much to tell about Laci that this fine writer couldn't get it all into this book: "hence it was decided to produce a two-volume set." This was obviously written BEFORE the trial and has no pertinent information at all about what happened after Scott's arrest. Hardly the "whole story" advertised. He closes the book with "Well, I've enjoyed this little conversation with you and I do look forward to our next one which should be coming in just a few short months." At nearly 30 bucks his part one was a total rip off. I won't be springing for that next "little conversation."

Mingled in with all of Knight's sorry prose are pages and pages of O.J. rehashing that he strives mightily to make relate to the Peterson case. Included is the gem that Marcia Clark should have encouraged Chris Darden to put "his whole heart and soul into the trial" by flirting with him and saying, "You know, I'll let you have me, Baby." Knight observes that "Since Johnnie (Cochran) chose to use race as a weapon, Marcia could have retaliated with sex as a weapon." What mentality!

Over and over Knight observes he doesn't really know such and such but this is what might have happened. He relates events without giving the names of central figures; he notes he doesn't recall the name. (Hint: find out!)

My opinion (since Knight expresses many...) is that it is arrogant beyond belief to think anyone will think volume one of this shoddy work will support the publication of volume two. But, if you can sucker enough people....

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this book!, February 19, 2005
This review is from: Laci Peterson: The Whole Story (Paperback)
Brad Knight's book isn't worth any money. He recently moved to Modesto and claims to be an expert in the case. He is very prejudiced. He claims Laci's father is a recent immigrant from Latin America. Therefore Laci is half Hispanic and half Caucasian. Scott and Laci's child would be a quarter Hispanic and Scott wasn't pleased with this.

There isn't anything in the book that we don't know from the media. I'm very sorry I spent money on the printed version.
Brad Knight is really ignorant and prejudiced. The only smart thing he has done is to lure unsuspecting readers into buying the book! Don't!

1.0 out of 5 stars Full of grammatical errors, February 17, 2005
This review is from: Laci Peterson: The Whole Story (Paperback)
So full of grammatical errors that I even question the substance of the book. And, no, I'm not an English teacher.
