L.A. Innocence Project lawyers claim new evidence exonerates Scott Peterson

The Los Angeles patent project (Laip) presented a lengthy petition late last week, claiming that he had discovered evidence that Scott Peterson, convicted of killing his wife, Lassi Peterson, and their non -born son, Conner, was not guilty.

Peterson’s lawyers claim that the case against him was “completely circumstantial” and that the petition, submitted to the California Court of Appeal, shows cases with the investigation of the police and that public prosecutors withheld cash information during his very prominent trials.

In a case that many countries had been organized, Peterson was convicted of murders in 2004, about two years after the death of his wife and child who was not born yet. He has always confirmed that he is not guilty.

He was initially given the death penalty before it changed to life without conditional release.

“Any injustice must be presented properly, and the evidence was in this case and our guide will remain as we move forward,” said John Sunigo, head of the Board of Trustees at Laip.

The petition requires the court to evacuate Peterson’s penalty, on the pretext that investigators and prosecutors have managed many investigations and even destroyed vital evidence.

“We believe that the case deserves the second care for its initial conviction due to the issues related to the confirmation bias, and there were possible violations from Brady, which was committed by the Modesto police and the province’s office.”

The non -profit organization says, “No direct, physical, or criminal evidence was found that supports any part of the prosecution theory,” Peterson killed Lassi and disposed of her body on the shores of San Francisco Bay.

On December 24, 2002, the robbery in his neighbor’s neighbor’s house occupies the lead center.

Deposit sites watched, “He heard a conversation between the thieves about Lassi and confronting Las.” Laip’s lawyer said these details show Peterson because she showed that Lasi was alive when her husband left the house for a hunting trip from today.

Peterson’s lawyers also connected the thieves to a burning truck near the couple’s house, adding that the jury had never heard of the burned rank inside the car that contains blood stains. They claim that the prosecutors have refused to do more to do the accurate DNA test to determine whether there is a killing link.

Police and public prosecutors who tried the case 20 years ago continued to stand by the conviction, while the former defense lawyer of Peterson, Mark Geragos has always opposed the verdict.

“I don’t think they have proven that at the time and I do not think they have proven this at any time since then,” said Rachel Minitov of KTLA.

Gerargos added that he hoped these recent legal attempts to raise his former agent.

He said: “I think he was condemned because of what I used to call” he did not act correctly “, and this is not evidence at all because there is no playing book how to behave when your pregnant wife loses.”

As for the following steps, the office of the provincial prosecutor, who originally tried the case, says that he will not comment on the petition until it is submitted by the courts, and they had an opportunity to read it.

Meanwhile, Leib said he would wait to find out how the judge responds before he decides what should happen after that.
