Judge Permits Retesting of Duct Tape in Scott Peterson Case

Scott Peterson, convicted of murdering his pregnant wife Laci Peterson and their unborn son, has been granted a new DNA test on a piece of duct tape found with Laci's body. This decision by Judge Elizabeth M. Hill comes as part of an effort by the Los Angeles Innocence Project to exonerate Peterson. However, requests to test other pieces of evidence, including a mattress from a nearby burglary, were denied. The new DNA test aims to leverage technological advances to potentially uncover previously unobtainable results.
