The Los Angeles Innocence Project is taking up the case of Scott Peterson, one of the highest profile convicted murderers in the U.S. In 2004 Peterson was convicted in the deaths of his pregnant wife and the couple's unborn child.
The Los Angeles Innocence Project has taken up the case of Scott Peterson, who was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson. The nonprofit organization, which represents people convicted of crimes who want to prove their innocence, is seeking new evidence in Peterson's original trial. ABC News was first to report the news.
Peterson and the Los Angeles Innocence Project are seeking new materials to be presented in court to prove his innocence in the case in an effort to eventually overturn his conviction, the filing stated. Prosecutors said Scott Peterson dumped his wife's body in Berkeley Marina on Christmas Eve of that year and tried to cover up the crime by making it appear as if she were missing, according to online court records. Her body later washed ashore.
