Convicted killer Scott Peterson was back in Redwood City court via Zoom video Tuesday for a hearing connected to his bid for a new murder trial.
It has been nearly 20 years since Peterson was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son Connor. Peterson told investigators he left home to go fishing in Berkeley the morning of Christmas Eve 2002, the day Laci disappeared.Peterson last appeared in court via Zoom in March with his new lawyers from the L.A. Innocence Project. They are making a case that there is enough new evidence to grant Peterson a retrial.
Both parties essentially agreed to keep a particular letter with names of potential witnesses redacted, as it is. Another focal point is a burned out van and a stained mattress that were found the day after Laci disappeared. Peterson’s lawyers have asked a judge to order DNA testing on the items. A hearing related to that evidence will take place May 29.
