Judge Partially Grants DNA Testing in Scott Peterson Case Amid New Trial Efforts

TL;DR Summary
A California judge largely denied Scott Peterson's defense team's request for new DNA testing on 14 items, approving only the duct tape found on his wife Laci Peterson. The Los Angeles Innocence Project, which argues there is no forensic evidence linking Peterson to the murders of his wife and unborn child, sought the testing to prove his innocence. Peterson was convicted in 2004 and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
