Scott Peterson May Get A New Trial


His attorney claims there was misconduct from a juror so apparently, he is claiming he did not get a fair trail. 
If you recall, Scott Peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife Laci and unborn son Conner in 2004. He was given the death penalty in 2005, but the sentence was reduced to life in prison without the possibility of parole by the California Supreme Court, which cited "significant errors" in jury selection. 
    I have mixed feelings about this. I watched this entire trial religiously during 2004 and was convinced he was guilty. At the very least, he is a piece of shit, but that doesn't make him guilty of murder. 
   [sidebar] When Michael was murdered, the first call I made was to the Carole Sund Carrington Foundation. They represented Laci's family all during the trial and I had their number etched in my brain. I was very fortunate to speak to a woman named Shelly Streeter whose family was murdered by Cary Stayner at Yosemite National Park and she facilitated getting the first $5000.00 reward money for Michael from their Board of Directors who was directed by, you guessed it, Laci Peterson's Mom. 
 

Scott's sister in law Janie has always maintained his innocence. Scott had impressive attorneys but no one was unable to clear him in the charges and his behavior during the time was went missing on Christmas Eve, 2002, added to the suspicion
He is due to go before the judge in June where the judge will determine if he gets a new trial. This should be interesting.
