The accused murderer, Scott Petersons, tried to sue for a new trial but was rejected by a California judge. One of the points raised by the convicted killer is there was bias during the trial; he wants to contest the judgment, reported Crimeonline.
Details of the murder case
In 2004; the case of murder was charged against him; he allegedly murdered his wife, Laci Peterson. In that period when the murder was committed; the woman disappeared without a trace in late 2002. The time of Laci’s going missing was when she was 8 months on the way with her first child then.
After the disappearance of the convict’s pregnant wife when the next year in April. Several corpses had washed in at San Francisco Bay with the cadavers of Laci and the dead fetus as a grisly reminder of Peterson’s foul play,
Following the gruesome discovery of the accused murderous intent on his family; a guilty verdict was given to him. It was charged with first-degree murder with a second-degree for his infant son’s killing too, noted NBC Bay area.
The first sentence of the death penalty was decided though in 2020 that rescinded by the court; it was later modified to life in prison. He barely escaped the death sentence as well that could have been worse.
Based on the former coverage of an outlet; it was learned that another Judge Anne-Christine Massullo was partial to giving the motion for a new trial for Peterson.
His counsels brought it to attention how one of the chosen jurors was not telling the truth about herself; a few details in the jury questionnaire were falsified.
Judge Massullo in a 55-page order for the release of the convicted killer that was released on Tuesday noted an outlet.
The document said that Juror No.7’s answer had no bias from the start; it was a pure misunderstanding of the question and not knowing the matter at hand.
