"Innocence Project Investigates New Evidence in Scott Peterson Murder Case"

The Los Angeles Innocence Project has taken on Scott Peterson's case, seeking new evidence to prove his innocence in the murder of his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson. Peterson, who was convicted in 2004 and resentenced to life in prison in 2021, filed a petition claiming juror misconduct and presenting "new evidence." His legal team alleges that a juror, Richelle Nice, concealed personal details during the trial. The organization is investigating Peterson's claim of actual innocence and aims to eventually overturn his conviction.
