Prosecutors in California have filed a motion to prevent new DNA testing of disputed evidence in the 2002 murder case of Laci Peterson and her unborn son Conner. This move could potentially impact the latest appeal by Scott Peterson, who was convicted of the murders.
The Los Angeles Innocence Project took on Peterson's case earlier this year, aiming to explore new evidence that could point to another perpetrator. Specifically, they are seeking to conduct advanced DNA testing on a mattress and a hammer found near the crime scene.
