Convicted murderer Scott Peterson is back in court on Tuesday in a new effort to prove his innocence.
REDWOOD CITY – Peterson is serving a life sentence for the 2002 murder of his wife Laci and their unborn son, but a new team of lawyers with the LA Innocence Project took up his push for a new trial earlier in 2024.The hearing is focused on DNA testing for a piece of duct tape found on Laci's pants when her body washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay.
Why is Scott Peterson seeking a new trial? While Peterson was sentenced to death in March 2005, the California Supreme Court overturned that sentence in 2020 after finding that potential jurors were improperly dismissed. Peterson was then resentenced to life in prison without parole in 2021. The now 51-year-old Peterson and his defense team have continued to fight for a new trial.
