MORE ON THE PETERSON CASE
------------------------------
Prosecutors countered Thursday's leak of information about Conner Peterson's dead body by asking a judge to release the full autopsy reports on the baby boy and his mother, Laci.
Thursday night, an official with the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department confirmed that the leaked information came from Conner's autopsy report.
MSNBC reported Thursday morning that it had obtained a "a portion of the coroner's report on the autopsy on the fetus."
The document states that the fetus was found with 11/2 loops of plastic tape around its neck and had a significant cut on its torso, a cut inflicted after death, MSNBC reported.
The details could suggest that Conner died separately from his mother, who was eight months pregnant when family members reported her missing Christmas Eve from her Modesto home. Her husband, Scott, has been charged with two counts of murder.
"The information being leaked has clearly been skewed in favor of the defense," the Stanislaus County district attorney's office declared in a court filing within hours of the leak. "The people cannot see why the autopsy documents should not be released."
District Attorney James Brazelton's position marked a dramatic reversal from his previous opposition, restated earlier this week, to unsealing the reports.
