Scott Peterson's family seeks death penalty appeal money via PayPal

[Bewitchingstorm]

The Los Angeles Innocence Project (LAIP) has intervened in Scott’s case and recently filed a new petition seeking to overturn the 2004 conviction based on “new evidence and witness statements.”

Among the evidence referenced in the 854-page petition are details of a burglary at the home of the Medinas, the Petersons’ neighbors, a witness who reported hearing the burglars talk about Laci seeing and confronting them, and evidence that the police intentionally destroyed evidence that could have linked the burglary to Laci’s disappearance and murder.

Additional evidence LAIP outlines in the petition includes:

*Evidence that the Medina home was burglarized on Dec. 24, the day Laci disappeared, and not Dec. 26, as the jury was told.
*Evidence showing there were others involved in the burglary other than the two who pleaded guilty.
*Evidence directly linking the Medina burglars to the orange van that was intentionally set on fire not far from the Petersons’ home on Dec. 25.
*Scientific and medical research developed after Scott’s conviction related to fetal growth as it relates to the timing of Laci and Conner’s deaths.
*New modeling showing Laci and Conner’s bodies could not have migrated from area where Scott said he went fishing to where they were recovered.
*New sworn statements from witnesses who described seeing Laci walking the dog after Scott left their home on the morning of Dec. 24.
*Analysis of the police investigation showing that it was “disorganized, failed to follow basic police procedures that were standard at the time, and was driven by ‘confirmation bias.'”

I wish they would stop wasting everybody’s time.

Same. Having anything in the media brought up with his name must be horrible for Laci's family.

A California judge has denied Scott Peterson's attempt to present new evidence that his attorneys claim exonerates him in the murder of his wife and unborn son.

The Los Angeles Innocence Project, which took up his case in recent years, filed a habeas petition in August 2025 alleging that he was wrongfully convicted based on what it called false evidence.

In an order issued on Monday, California Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Hill declined to review the evidence and denied the petition's claims, finding they are procedurally barred or lack merit.

Scott Peterson's attorneys said they plan to appeal to a higher court.

I am mildly curious/nosey about what they think will change the court's opinion of his guilt, but on the other hand I am fine with letting him rot and there's no question about his guilt in my mind.

Me too. I am surprised the Innocence Project is even involved.

THIS. There are SO MANY MUCH MORE DESERVING people that need their help. The only thing I can think of is that they are being selfish in wanting a high profile case to gain more media attention, however I've known of them for YEARS because of the inmates they've helped so they get enough press IMHO.

Agree entirely. I think the LA Innocence Project is going after a high profile case. I remember when they started working on the case, the primary Innocence Project distanced themselves from it.

Probably a foreign hair found in the house that was unexplained and never tested. I suspect its something minor.

Everyone knows he did it.

Why do they keep trying to get him out?
