Scott Peterson is moved off California's death row
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Scott Peterson has been moved off death row more than two years after the California Supreme Court overturned his death sentence for killing his pregnant wife two decades ago, corrections officials said Monday.
Peterson was moved last week from San Quentin State Prison north of San Francisco to Mule Creek State Prison east of Sacramento. A new mug shot taken Friday shows Peterson, 50, with salt-and-pepper stubble compared to his previous clean-shaven look.
Jurors imposed the death penalty after convicting Peterson of the first-degree murder of Laci Peterson, 27, and second-degree murder of the unborn son they were going to name Conner, dumping them into San Francisco Bay on Christmas Eve 2002.
The state's high court overturned that sentence in August 2020 after finding that potential jurors were improperly dismissed for saying they personally disagreed with the death penalty but would be willing to follow the law and impose it.
A state judge is now considering if Peterson deserves a new trial after the justices separately said his jury may have been tainted by a biased juror.
Peterson was mainly kept at San Quentin during that monthslong hearing process in part so he would have better access to his attorneys.

No stress about the future. Free room and board. Regular physical fitness. Yeah, he should look fine.
This coldhearted bastard should have been fried in the electric chair years ago.

It was almost 20 years ago (this December) that he killed Lacy.

He's aging better than Momma's mussy, that's for sure.

^ I don't know why - they've both been under lockdown for years now.
Maybe Scott - unlike Momma's mussy - has had access to hawt prison meat.

When you do not have conscience you don't age as quickly as others who do have one.

Scott and Laci was one of the best times to be DL. DL pulled out all the stops and some of the funniest posts. PS, Scott is still hot and he could get it.
