"Scott Peterson's Virtual Court Appearance Sparks New Hope for DNA Testing and Trial Review"

Scott Peterson, convicted of killing his pregnant wife Laci and their unborn child, appeared virtually in court as the Los Angeles Innocence Project requested new DNA tests and access to evidence related to a burglary near the couple's home. The group suggests that Laci may have witnessed the break-in and been kidnapped and killed by the burglars. The court filings represent a bid to exonerate Peterson, who was sentenced to life without parole after his death sentence was overturned. The next hearings are set for April and May, and the Innocence Project is seeking to present its case in court.
