The L.A. Innocence Project and the Laci Peterson Murder: Why Now?

On Christmas Eve 2002, Scott Peterson reported his wife, Laci Peterson, missing. She was 27 years old and eight months pregnant. In April 2023, Laci's body was discovered and a short time later, Scott Peterson was charged with her murder. Scott was convicted, and eventually sentenced to life in prison. Twenty plus years later, the Los Angeles Innocence Project filed an appeal on Peterson's behalf claiming factual innocence. They raise four specific points which they claim were not sufficiently investigated because they didn't support the police department's theory of the crime.

Witnesses may have seen Laci walking her dog at a time when according to the police theory, she would have already been dead.
The house across the street was burglarized around the same time Laci disappeared. The two burglars were caught and interviewed.
A van was set on fire in an alley a mile from the Peterson home. There was a blood stained mattress in the back.
Laci owned a watch which was sold at two separate pawn shops while she was still missing.

The L.A. Innocence Project filed the appeal the day after Netflix premiered American Nightmare. Was this a coincidence? Was Scott Peterson the victim of tunnel vision and confirmation bias just like Aaron Quinn, or has the right person been in jail for the last 22 years. Tune in to this Episode of The Truth Nation Podcast to get the answers.
