Amber Frey: The Reluctant Celebrity in Scott Peterson's Murder Trial

Carmen Electra, actress and celebrity has had her career and relationships in the media's eye for several years now. That's the whole strategy, attend Los Angeles Fashion Week runway shows and be in the daily newspaper, in the fashion trade papers, the entertainment trade papers and have your picture taken for the relationship magazines. As a result your latest CD, movie, television show  or exercise video gets mentioned raising her likely audiences interest in the product: Carmen Electra.

Amber Frey, on the other hand, was a single-mother working as a massage therapist in the surburban town of Modesto, California; same state different planet. She was working and raising her three-year-old daughter  when along came Scott Peterson and an incipient relationship that would propel Ms. Frey's image and life's story around the world!

The media machine refered to Amber as Scott Peterson's former mistress, in actuality she was a young woman who believed she was in a romantic relationship with the man who had come along to be her  "Mister Right". Her story had become  "Celebrity Relationships: Episode Two"; at first she appeared shocked at being surronded by reporters and ringed by ENG cameras as they relentlessly pursued the story of the day. As the murder trial approached she warmed-up to the cameras that had come courting, the media knew just the right questions to ask a woman who had been romantically decieved by a master of manipulation.

Scott Peterson had three diplomas he had bought on the inet: Religious Studies from Arizona State University, Finance from the University of San Diego and another- Psychology, also from San Diego. This was an indication of his sometimes childish thinking; it's the transcripts stupid. You just can't go around flashing college diplomas and have people believe you are a learned and wise (con)man; the records have to be there and accessible for employers to aknowledge them.
