Since being resentenced to life in prison for the 2002 murders of Laci Peterson and their unborn son, Scott Peterson is still fighting for a new trial, alleging burglars killed his pregnant wife.
A California judge said that she plans to resentence Peterson to life in prison December 8 while she considers if he receives a new trial in the 2002 murders of his pregnant wife and unborn son.
The high-profile 20-year-old conviction of a California man accused of murdering his pregnant wife and dumping her body in San Francisco Bay, may yet be aired anew. Scott Peterson, who was convicted of murdering Laci Peterson, then 27, already had his death sentence overturned by California’s highest court last summer. Prosecutors are still trying to get that reinstated, even as the push continues for him to get a new trial.
