Peterson Seeks New Jury for Penalty Phase
From Times Wire Services
Scott Peterson’s defense lawyers want to seat a new jury in another county to weigh whether Peterson should die for the murders of his pregnant wife and her fetus, according to a motion filed Wednesday in San Mateo County Superior Court.
The details will not be made public until after Judge Alfred A. Delucchi reviews the file Monday before the scheduled start of the penalty phase. Peterson, 32, was convicted Friday of killing Laci Peterson and the fetus.
