"Scott Peterson's Latest Court Appearance: Seeking Exoneration with DNA Testing"

Scott Peterson, convicted of killing his wife Laci Peterson and their unborn child, appeared virtually in court as his lawyers from the Los Angeles Innocence Project requested new DNA tests and access to evidence in an effort to overturn his 2004 conviction. The Innocence Project argues that new evidence supports Peterson's claim of innocence and raises questions about who abducted and killed Laci and Conner Peterson. After the California Supreme Court overturned his death sentence in 2020 but upheld his conviction, Peterson was resentenced to life in prison without parole in 2021 and denied another trial in 2022. The judge has scheduled the next hearings for April and May, with Peterson attending virtually.
