"Scott Peterson Launches New Effort to Overturn Laci Peterson Murder Conviction"

Scott Peterson, convicted of killing his wife Laci and their unborn child, is seeking a new trial with the Los Angeles Innocence Project, claiming to have new evidence. His lawyers have requested potential witnesses' names to be sealed, citing fear of retribution. Peterson's conviction was previously overturned from death row to life in prison without parole, and his latest bid for a retrial focuses on alleged evidence withholding by police and a nearby robbery. A hearing regarding new evidence is scheduled for May 29.
