Scott Peterson, the convicted killer, made another appearance before a judge via Zoom as part of his ongoing bid for a new trial. His legal team from the Los Angeles Innocence Project is advocating for DNA testing to support their claim that Peterson did not murder his pregnant wife over twenty years ago. They argue that the case warrants further investigation.
Peterson was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of the murder of his wife, Lacey Peterson, and their unborn child on Christmas Eve in 2002. Having spent the last two decades behind bars, Peterson is seeking to clear his name through new evidence.
