Convicted murderer Scott Peterson continues to file court petitions trying to overturn his conviction. This time his defense claims there’s a confession obtained by Petersen’s sister-in-law, from an anonymous man who says he and others kidnapped and murdered Laci Peterson, saying she interrupted them burglarizing a neighbor’s house. The Attorney General says the claims are baseless for multiple reasons, including that the time lines don’t match up, some details had been previously rejected by the Supreme Court in earlier petitions, and that the so-called confessions are merely hearsay, making any kind of investigation impossible. On July 28th the court granted Peterson’s counsel 60 days to reply to the AG’s response.
