FAST CHAT: GERAGOS: 'I DIDN'T CONVINCE 12 PEOPLE'

In his first interview since client Scott Peterson was convicted of murder, defense lawyer Mark Geragos talked to NEWSWEEK's Karen Breslau. Some excerpts:

You told the jury you'd show Scott was "stone-cold innocent." Where did you go wrong?

There's a multitude of things you wish you could do differently. I don't believe anybody can--after 30 years on this earth without hurting anyone--engage in a coldblooded, precalculated murder and not leave one shred of forensic evidence. I truly believe he's innocent. And if I didn't convince 12 people of that, then I didn't do enough.

There has been a spate of books out about Scott Peterson, all of them damning.

And understandably so. Because that's what sells.

Is he going to tell his version of the story?
