"Innocence Project Takes on Scott Peterson's Murder Case Amid New Evidence"

The Los Angeles Innocence Project has taken on the case of Scott Peterson, who was convicted in 2004 of murdering his pregnant wife. They are seeking new evidence from the original trial and investigating his claim of innocence. Peterson's attorneys have filed a petition alleging juror misconduct and presented "new evidence" to support his innocence, including a burglary near the Peterson home at the time of his wife's disappearance. The Innocence Project has requested to review police interviews and conduct DNA tests on evidence. Peterson's sister-in-law sees this as a chance for a new trial or his release, while his 2022 request for a new trial was denied.
