In a stunning development, the Los Angeles Innocence Project has announced its decision to get involved in the infamous Scott Peterson case. Peterson, who was convicted in 2004 for the first-degree murder of his wife, Lacey Peterson, and the second-degree murder of their unborn child, is now seeking to prove his actual innocence.
For those who may not recall the details of this enormous case, let's provide a brief summary. It all began on December 24th, 2002, when Lacey Peterson, who was eight months pregnant, suddenly went missing. Scott Peterson claimed that he had left their house around 9:30 a.m. while Lacey was planning to walk their dog. Although no witnesses saw Lacey go for a walk, Scott asserted that he subsequently went fishing in the bay. Upon his return home, he discovered that Lacey was gone.
