Scott Peterson and Fellow Inmate Reconcile After Pickleball Fight

The altercation at Mule Creek State Prison stemmed from an emotional clash during a game, with tensions later resolved through a two-hour conversation.

  • Scott Peterson and Charles Mills were involved in a physical altercation during a pickleball game at Mule Creek State Prison earlier this month.
  • Mills claims Peterson aggressively sprinted at him during the game, leading him to respond violently and 'beat him to the ground.'
  • The two inmates reconciled after the incident, speaking for two hours from their separate cells to resolve their differences.
  • Mills apologized for his actions, attributing his reaction to a 'primal urge' and Peterson's notoriety as a convicted murderer.
  • Peterson continues to serve a life sentence without parole for the 2002 murder of his wife and unborn child, while maintaining his innocence.
