It's now up to a judge to decide whether convicted murderer Scott Peterson will get evidence his attorneys believe will prove he didn't kill his pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son.Judge Elizabeth Hill of San Mateo County Superior Court has up to 90 days to issue a ruling, after two days of arguments in her Redwood City courtroom. Peterson is serving a life sentence but insists he is innocent.
"We still, 22 years later, have not been provided with any information about that investigation or the recordings," Mitchell said at one point. Prosecutors countered that her avenue of inquiry was irrelevant to the killings.The judge repeatedly tried to nail down exactly what the defense wants. "I don’t want to order the prosecution to deliver you a multitude of documents that you already have in discovery, because that’s useful to no one," Hill said.
