Description
Decades after Scott Peterson was convicted of murdering his wife Laci and their unborn son Conner, there's now a new move to try to free him.
The Los Angeles Innocence Project is taking on his case, and has already turned to the courts to request evidence they say was withheld by prosecutors.
Scott Peterson, who is now 51 years old, has spent the past twenty years behind bars.
But the LA Innocence Project, which uses forensics and other scientific evidence to exonerate those wrongly convicted, is now hoping to obtain evidence that would be more than two decades old to try to secure his freedom.
More than 22 years ago, on Christmas Eve of 2002, Laci Peterson — eight months pregnant at the time — was reported missing from her home in Modesto.
Her body was discovered four months later in the San Francisco Bay.
