Scott Peterson appears via video call for a status hearing at San Mateo County Superior Court in Redwood City, Calif., Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Redwood City — As notorious convicted murderer Scott Peterson watched from a monitor in a state prison in Amador County, defense and prosecution lawyers battled in court Wednesday over whether he should be granted another chance to prove he didn’t kill his pregnant wife, Laci, and their unborn son two decades ago.
“The people know the truth,” Harris said. “They know he’s guilty of murdering his wife and unborn son.” The L.A. Innocence Project, which recently took up Peterson’s case, is asking the judge to compel prosecutors to hand over old evidence for renewed DNA testing. They are hoping that a stain on a mattress found in a burning van a day after Laci’s Dec. 24, 2002 disappearance will prove to be her blood.
