Scott Peterson was 'wrongfully convicted': LA Innocence Project in new motion | Banfield

Scott Peterson’s former attorney Mark Geragos exclusively joins NewsNation as the L.A. Innocence Project pushes to overturn Peterson’s conviction for killing his wife Laci and their unborn son. The group filed an 854-page motion arguing that false and misleading evidence led to the guilty verdict. Key claims include a burglary near the Peterson home on the exact day Laci vanished — not two days later as prosecutors argued — and a new witness who says burglars had a confrontation with Laci after Scott had already left. The filing also links those burglars to a burned-out van containing a bloody mattress and challenges the prosecution’s theory about where Laci’s body was dumped.
