AMBER'S MAKEOVER
Amber Frey, the woman who had a relationship with Scott
Peterson, said Monday she is prepared to testify at his trial
on charges of murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, and their
unborn child. At a press conference in Los Angeles, she
revealed she will be represented by attorney Gloria Allred.
Allred, Frey Go On The Offensive
May 19, 2003

Famed defense attorney Gloria Allred became a player in the legal drama
surrounding the
Laci and Connor Peterson murder case Monday,
announcing she was representing 
Amber Frey, the woman who claims to
have had an affair with
Scott Peterson in the months before the murders.

With Frey sitting by her side, Allred left little doubt
about what theFresno woman was planning to do.


Allred said. "It will be for the district attorney to make the decision as to
what role she will play in the
prosecution of the case…I will say that it's
my opinion what she has to say in
testimony is very important to the case."

Frey read a brief statement, mostly thanking Allred for representing her.
She said what she wanted most was "a normal life, I want to regain my privacy."


Frey came forward in late January to announce she had been having a 'romantic'
affair with Scott Peterson, whom she met in November 2002. She said Scott
had told her he
was not married and she only learned of his deception
when stories of Laci's Christmas Eve
disappearance began to emerge.

The famed defense attorney added that Frey would not attempt to sell her
story to the tabloids or others, but would instead only talk about the case in court.


"She has been offered money for interviews and she has refused and will
continue to refuse those offers," Allred said. "We are committed to
protecting the integrity of the prosecution and we will not allow her
testimony to be contaminated by offers of money for her story."


Although the media has hounded her, Frey has only spoken on the record
with the press at that January press conference. She has reportedly
cooperated  with investigators and was not a suspect in the case.


Allred also said she would defend Frey from any
attack Scott Peterson's
defense team may launch.

"It would not be a surprise to me if the defense tried to attack the credibility of all
witnesses, particularly witnesses that would be very important to the prosecution,"
she said. "I don't know what they (the defense) have up their sleeve, but
whatever it is I can tell you we will be ready to vigorously defend Ms. Frey."


Allred also said her office was reviewing media reports involving Frey
and  would correct any false information that they may have contained.


"I think there are some statements out there about her that are not true,"
Allred said. "I'm not going to go into which ones they are, but we are
going to be reviewing everything because it takes a whole lifetime to
build a reputation. It only takes a few moments to destroy one."
