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.
The hearing set to deliberate if Scott Peterson will be given a new trial has been canceled, with the presiding judge to issue a written decision instead of a hearing to announce the verdict.
Scott Peterson, who has been back in a San Mateo County courtroom in recent weeks as his legal team continues trying to get his 2004 murder conviction overturned because of a single, allegedly biased juror, wants out of the county jail and back into San Quentin, and a judge is allowing it.
Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine Massullo will decide if juror Richelle Nice was biased and lied to get on the jury that convicted the San Diego native in 2004 of murdering 27-year-old Laci and the unborn child they planned to name Conner.
