Crime Stories with Nancy Grace SCOTT PETERSON WRANGLES NEW TRIAL BID IN MURDERS OF LACI & BABY CONNER
When pregnant Laci Peterson went missing, it was her stepfather who called 911, not her husband.
When Laci's body was found four months later in San Francisco Bay, Scott Peterson became suspect number one. Prosecutors revealed he was having an affair with a woman who did not know he was married.
Scott Peterson has always maintained his innocence, even after his conviction. His death sentence has been overturned and now Peterson is serving a life sentence without parole. Now, the Innocence Project is taking on the conviction of Scott Peterson claiming there is new evidence.
As the Los Angeles Innocence Project says the new evidence raises questions about who abducted and killed Laci Peterson. They also claim Peterson's State and Federal Constitutional Rights were violated and have filed a motion seeking evidence from the original trial.
