Man indicted for killing wife and son relocated to San Mateo County jail before his resentencing hearing
San Mateo, California – Officials say that Scott Peterson has been relocated from San Quentin’s death row to the San Mateo County Jail.
In 2004, Peterson was found guilty of murdering his wife and unborn child. He was transported early Monday morning before his resentencing hearing the following week.
The California Supreme Court said the judge excluded jurors who were against the death penalty from the trial, so Peterson’s death sentence was overturned.
Peterson is appealing his conviction, claiming that one of the jurors lied on her juror questionnaire.
For the first time since his conviction, Peterson is due to appear in front of his wife’s family and friends during a hearing next week.
