Almost two decades after the murder case of Lacey Peterson and her unborn child Connor gripped the nation, new evidence has emerged that raises doubts about the conviction of Scott Peterson. In 2004, Peterson was found guilty of murdering his wife and unborn son, but the Los Angeles Innocence Project has now filed a motion claiming that key evidence was withheld from his original trial.
The Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals, is seeking post-conviction discovery of evidence in Peterson's case. Their attorneys argue that newly discovered evidence supports Peterson's claim of actual innocence.
