California Supreme Court orders reexamination of Scott Peterson’s murder convictions

The California Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered a trial judge to consider whether Scott Peterson’s convictions for murdering his wife, Laci, and their unborn son should be overturned.

The state’s highest court already overturned Peterson’s death sentence on appeal this year. In a separate petition, Peterson’s lawyers cited an array of reasons the convictions should be overturned as well.

The court agreed that one matter warranted attention: a juror who failed to disclose that she had once feared for her unborn child when being harassed by the ex-girlfriend of her boyfriend.

Laci Peterson, 27, was due to give birth in four weeks in 2002 when she disappeared on Christmas Eve. Scott Peterson told police he had left their Modesto home that morning to go fishing in Berkeley.

Nearly four months later, Laci’s remains and the body of her unborn son, with the umbilical cord still attached, washed up on a rocky shore of San Francisco Bay. A passerby walking a dog found them a few miles from where Scott Peterson said he had gone fishing.

I have zero doubt the guy is guilty as hell.

I also have zero doubt that the State of California did not prove that in court.

Sounds like a juror of peers.

I am surprised some of his fellow inmates didn’t take care of this by now.

#5. Apply this “juror” issue to the juror who was a leader of a Democrat Party branch in DC in the Roger Stone case FAILING to disclose that recusable/excusable information.

The California Supreme Court might just have given Trump/DOJ/Barr, etc. the weapon which they need to overturn the Flynn and Stone cases decision.

GO FOR IT!

The cackling laughter of the California criminal jesters system chases you, as they burn piles of Cali tax dollars.

They'd look great in piano wire neckties - ALL of them.

“Please, nobody tell Greta about this.”
