Over 20 years after convicted wife-killer Scott Peterson’s case captivated the nation, a bombshell petition filed by the Los Angeles Innocence Project says he didn’t murder his pregnant bride, Laci, and their unborn son, Connor.
The 400-page legal document claims investigators and San Mateo County prosecutors for failing to properly investigate any evidence that could have cleared Peterson.
His former defense attorney, Matt Dalton, tells The National ENQUIRER that the petition faults officials for refusing to track down witnesses who may have seen eight-months-pregnant Laci just before she vanished on Christmas Eve 2002.
In 2018, The ENQUIRER was one of the first media outlets to reveal that six witnesses claimed to have seen Laci that day and suggested she may have been kidnapped by burglars she’d confronted for breaking into the home of one of her Modesto, Calif., neighbors.
Neighbor Diana Campos told ENQUIRER reporters she saw two men accosting Laci as she walked her golden retriever on that fateful day.
