New Evidence Raises Possibility for Retrial
Recently revealed evidence has opened up the possibility of a retrial for Scott Peterson, who was convicted for the murder of his pregnant wife, Lacey Peterson, and their unborn son. The new evidence introduces a theory suggesting that Lacey may have witnessed a burglary, which could have led to her abduction and murder, rather than being killed by Scott as previously believed. This includes claims that she was targeted by burglars in their neighborhood, and the evidence is now accessible for Scott to examine more thoroughly. The judge's decision to reopen discovery allows Scott to investigate this new narrative, creating even more intrigue around the case.
