On tonight’s episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, airing on Merit Street Media, audiences will be brought up to speed on the latest developments in the Scott Peterson case. The show looks at the tragic murder of Laci Peterson, who was eight months pregnant when her body was found in 2002.
Scott Peterson, Laci’s husband, was convicted of her murder and initially sentenced to death. However, in 2020, his death sentence was overturned, and he was resentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. From the beginning, Peterson has maintained his innocence, asserting that Laci was killed during a burglary. His legal team has been advocating for this version of events.
Now, the case takes a new turn as the LA Innocence Project enters the scene, asserting that new evidence supports Peterson’s claim of innocence. This development raises questions and could potentially lead to a retrial. Nancy Grace provides insights and updates on these recent twists.
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace airs tonight, October 10, at 6/5 PM CT on Merit.
