"The prosecution's case was based on circumstantial evidence and bluntly state, 'No direct, physical or forensic evidence was found supporting any part of the prosecution's theory or otherwise implicating (Peterson).'"
"John Sonego, Board President of the LA Innocence Project, stated, 'We do believe that the evidence that we are producing in this particular filing should lead to his exoneration and proof of his innocence.'"
The Los Angeles Innocence Project intends to appeal a San Mateo County judge's decision that rejected their petition to review new evidence in Scott Peterson's case. They claim to possess compelling scientific evidence that could demonstrate Peterson's wrongful conviction. The evidence presented was not available during the original trial, and the LAIP argues that the prosecution relied solely on circumstantial evidence without any direct or forensic proof linking Peterson to the crimes. They express disappointment over the ruling and plan to escalate the matter to a higher court.
