Super successful mining guy & Los Angeles philanthropist Griffith J Griffith tried to kill his wife and failed. Super loser Scott Peterson did succeed in killing his wife (probably we’re at like 95%), but look where that got him! (it’s jail, forever).

90 years apart, these two both ended up in San Quentin for their crimes.

Join us today for the crazy story of the man who donated the land for Griffith Park to the city of Los Angeles. It’s a story about being successful but not being famous, and what that can do to a man who craves attention.

Super douche canoe Scott Peterson was this close to being a professional golfer, messed it up, got married young, was a terrible husband, and when his pregnant wife disappeared, he did approx 98754938 shady things.

What do you think? Did Scott kill Laci?
