Scott Peterson’s defense is pursuing a new petition to overturn his conviction, featuring a declaration written by Peterson. The Los Angeles Innocence Project has advocated for this change, claiming that new evidence undermines the original prosecution's case. Their press release suggests that if the jury were aware of this evidence, a different verdict could have emerged. Furthermore, legal experts, including attorney Mark Reichel, note that recent legal settlements in the Frank Carson case may provide a favorable backdrop for Peterson’s appeal, contributing to the complexity of the case moving forward.
"Individually and cumulatively, the new evidence presented in this petition eviscerates the prosecution's original case and exonerates Peterson," a press release from LAIP stated, emphasizing the potential impact of the new evidence.
Legal experts show mixed opinions, but attorney Mark Reichel argues that recent settlements related to the Frank Carson case could bolster Peterson's chances for a new trial.
