On November 12, 2004, Scott Peterson was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son Conner. A jury of six men and six women delivered the verdict 23 months after Laci Peterson disappeared on Christmas Eve from Modesto, California. Months later, the same jury would sentence Scott to death by lethal injection.
The case captivated millions across America due to saturated national media coverage for almost two years, thus, the case is considered to be one of the most famous cases of all time. Because of the lack of direct forensic evidence, Scott Peterson was convicted mostly on circumstantial evidence alone. Key circumstantial evidence pointed solely to the fact that Scott Peterson began an affair with Amber Frey, a single mother, a few weeks before Laci went missing. Nevertheless, Scott Peterson has always maintained that he is innocent, and wrongly convicted for this crime. Scott's sister-in-law, Janey Peterson, now says there is strong evidence that was completely ignored by detectives that proves that Laci was alive after Scott left the house the day she went missing. There is a theory that Laci confronted men who were burglarizing her neighbors' home, which evidence would prove occurred within the exact time frame that Laci went missing. In 2020, the California Supreme Court upheld Peterson's conviction but overturned his death sentence because it was found to be unconstitutional that some jurors were improperly dismissed by Judge Alfred A. Delucchi over their disagreement with the death penalty, despite saying they could follow the law and impose it. Additionally, Scott requested a new trial citing that Juror Richelle Nice is accused of bias and lying about her legal history to get on the jury of the famous case in order to personally punish Peterson. In December of 2022, Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine Massullo rejected Scott’s request for a new trial after she determined that she believed Juror Richelle Nice responses, “were not motivated by pre-existing or improper bias against (Peterson), but instead were the result of a combination of good faith misunderstanding of the questions and sloppiness in answering.” Scott Peterson filed a third Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus as of April 19, 2023, and the Attorney General had replied calling the claims "baseless". Subsequently, along with his old lawyers, Scott then submitted new evidence and his Habeaus Corpus to the L.A. Innocence Project. The team of lawyers conquer with Scott Peterson that there is enough new evidence for them to represent Scott Peterson and investigate his claim of actual innocence. On 12/01/23 the court granted a six-month extension per the filing of the order, but then on 01/17/24, L.A. Innocence project filed a motion requesting DNA testing to be done on a mattress that tested "presumptive positive" for human blood. The mattress was found inside a van that was purposely set on fire, less than a mile from the Peterson home just 12 hours after Laci Peterson was reported missing. This was not evidence used, or known about during Scott Peterson's 2004 trial.
