Laci Peterson’s Mother to Get Insurance Benefit
A judge has ruled that the $250,000 life insurance policy that Scott Peterson took out on his wife will go to her mother.
Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Roger Beauchesne said Friday that because Scott Peterson was convicted of killing his pregnant wife, Laci, and the fetus she carried in 2002, he is not entitled to collect the benefits of her life insurance.
The judge said the money should go to the executor of her estate, who is her mother, Sharon Rocha.
Scott Peterson was sentenced to death earlier this year.
