Could Scott Peterson be granted new penalty phase trial?
Convicted killer Scott Peterson could learn whether he'll be granted a new penalty phase trial.
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. - It was a trial that attracted worldwide attention and now convicted killer Scott Peterson could learn whether he'll be granted a new penalty phase trial.
Peterson will appear via Zoom from San Quentin Prison for the penalty re-trial on Tuesday morning.
In 2005, a jury sentenced him to death for the murder of his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son.
But last August, the California Supreme Court cited serious errors in the jury selection process and the high court ordered a San Mateo County judge to re-examine whether Peterson should be given a new trial.
