Scott Peterson's new appeal could be short lived if the judge agrees to prosecutors' request to deny new DNA testing for the convicted murderer.
Prosecutors have asked a California court to block new DNA testing of disputed evidence in the 2002 murder of pregnant Modesto woman Laci Peterson and her unborn son Conner - potentially setting up a road block at the heart of her husband and convicted killer Scott Peterson’s latest appeal. The Los Angeles Innocence Project picked up Peterson’s case in January.
call to the district attorney's office went unanswered Thursday afternoon. However, the lengthy filing argues that there was already overwhelming evidence of Peterson's guilt revealed during his trial. Police arrested him in 2003 near the Mexico border after he bleached his hair blond and departed Northern California with his brother’s passport and $10,000 cash.
