The Los Angeles Innocence Project has filed a proposed petition with the California Court of Appeals in San Francisco to get a new trial for Scott Peterson in the 2002 murder of his wife, Laci, and unborn son. In a nearly 400-page proposed petition filed Friday night in the First District, the LA Innocence Project argued Scott Peterson is innocent and his conviction should be overturned. The LA Innocence Project took up the case in January 2024 and requested that items gathered during the original murder investigation undergo DNA testing. Scott Peterson is now at Mule Creek State Prison. The Source LA Innocence Project, prior reporting.
