Scott Peterson gets new life sentence in wife’s murder after years on death row

Scott Peterson, the man convicted in the 2002 killing of his wife and unborn child, was resentenced to life in prison without parole Wednesday after spending more than a decade on death row.

Peterson’s resentencing came after California’s Supreme Court last year overturned his death sentence for the improper screening of jurors for bias and later said a lower court should determine whether he gets a new trial. The court, however, did not overturn his conviction and said considerable circumstantial evidence incriminated Peterson.

Pat Harris, one of Peterson’s defense attorneys, said his client had wanted to speak at the hearing Wednesday, but Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine Massullo did not allow for an allocution, given that the sentence was preordained, she said.

Scott Peterson to learn next spring whether he will get a new murder trial

The evidentiary hearing that will determine whether convicted killer Scott Peterson gets a new trial has been scheduled for February.

The schedule was discussed during a hearing for Peterson on Wednesday, along with logistics about how many people and who should be allowed to attend his upcoming resentencing hearing in December. Peterson has the chance to get a new trial for the 2002 murders of his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Conner, based on allegations in that juror Richelle Nice lied on her jury questionnaire about being the victim of a crime or party in a lawsuit.

The California Supreme Court ordered the case back to San Mateo Superior Court, where the trial was held in 2004, for a judge to determine if juror misconduct occurred and if Peterson should get a new trial. Judge Anne-Christine Massullo scheduled the evidentiary hearing for Feb. 25 through March 4. She will have 90 days after the matter is submitted to issue a decision. – Source
