Scott Peterson Injured in Prison Altercation Over Pickleball Game

The convicted murderer sustained minor injuries after a confrontation with another inmate at Mule Creek State Prison in California.

Scott Peterson, serving a life sentence for the 2002 murders of his wife Laci and their unborn son, was involved in a physical altercation at Mule Creek State Prison.
The incident reportedly occurred during a disagreement over a pickleball game in the prison yard near Peterson's housing unit.
Prison officials confirmed Peterson's injuries were minor and did not require hospitalization.
Peterson's case remains high-profile, with the Los Angeles Innocence Project working to overturn his conviction, alleging evidence was withheld during his trial.
Peterson maintains his innocence, continuing to claim Laci was abducted, a theory he reiterated in a 2024 Peacock docuseries.
