Overview

• Scott Peterson has filed a 126-page declaration as part of a habeas petition seeking to overturn his conviction for the 2002 murders of his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Conner.
• Peterson maintains he had 'absolutely nothing to do' with their deaths and accuses authorities of bias and investigative misconduct during the initial case.
• The Los Angeles Innocence Project, representing Peterson since 2023, claims to have uncovered new scientific evidence and witness statements supporting his innocence.
• Key evidence includes a reported burglary near the Peterson home on the day of Laci’s disappearance and allegations of a van with apparent bloodstains being destroyed shortly thereafter.
• The court is now reviewing the newly filed petition, with further hearings expected as the case remains in active post-conviction litigation.
