Los Angeles non-profit says it is investigating 51-year-old’s ‘claim of actual innocence’ over high-profile killing of pregnant wife
Two decades after Scott Peterson was sentenced to death for the murder of his pregnant wife in a high-profile trial, the Los Angeles Innocence Project said this week that it had taken up the case.
The development marks a significant breakthrough for the 51-year-old, who has long maintained his innocence and has claimed he received an unfair trial.
