Scott Peterson's Legal Team Seeks New Evidence in Bid to Prove Innocence

Represented by the Los Angeles Innocence Project, Peterson's lawyers argue crucial evidence was withheld during his murder trial.

Scott Peterson, convicted of murdering his wife and unborn child over 20 years ago, appeared in court as his new legal team seeks evidence they claim could prove his innocence.
The Los Angeles Innocence Project, representing Peterson, has requested DNA testing of evidence related to the case, including items from a nearby burglary and a burned van.
Peterson's legal team alleges that crucial evidence was withheld during his trial, including police reports and recordings.
The California Supreme Court overturned Peterson's death sentence in 2020, but he remains sentenced to life without parole.
Peterson's next court appearance is scheduled for April 16, with further hearings set for May and July to discuss DNA testing and investigative materials.
