A judge presiding over Scott Peterson's latest bid for a new trial on Wednesday afternoon ruled that only one piece of evidence will be allowed a new round of DNA testing.Peterson attended court in Redwood City via Zoom from Mule Creek State Prison in Amador County where he is currently serving a life sentence after he was convicted in 2004 of killing his wife, Laci Peterson, and her unborn son, Connor.

Sputulski, who currently works as a private fire investigator, previously told CBS News the presumptive positive sample he sent to the Justice Department came back negative for human blood when it was initially tested. 'So, imagine my shock when I found out just a few years ago that it did test positive for human DNA. I had no clue up to this point,' he said last month.
