Retired LAPD detective says Scott Peterson deserves a new trial, claims police overlooked critical witnesses
Scott Peterson's legal team, including the Los Angeles Innocence Project, claims new evidence could warrant a new trial, citing unexamined witness accounts from 2002. A retired LAPD detective criticizes investigators for failing to follow up on potential leads, while Laci Peterson's mother dismisses the claims. Peterson, currently serving life without parole, was convicted in 2004 for the murder of his pregnant wife.
