Oh my---- that worries me!!! I would hate to see this killer get a new trial. I can imagine what would happen: i don't think there would be a second trial: they would probably allow Peterson to plea down to a lesser charge- and who knows what that charge would be and what the sentence would be: maybe life with parole---- or life without parole. who knows.

Media, including national television news, began showing up at the Stanislaus County Courthouse around 5 a.m. Friday to report on Scott Peterson’s first court appearance since his blockbuster trial 16 years ago.

As a result of COVID-19, Peterson will appear remotely from San Quentin Prison and audio from the hearing will be live streamed on the court’s website.

Scott’s brother Joe and sister-in-law Janey Peterson were talking to media as they waited outside the courtroom for Judge Nancy Leo, which is expected to open at 8:30 a.m. Pat Harris, who served as co-counsel to Mark Geragos during Peterson’s trial, was also there.

okay - this article says:

In the same opinion, which was made in response to Scott Peterson’s automatic appeal, the court upheld his 2004 conviction for killing his wife, Laci Peterson, and the couple’s unborn son, Conner.

But last week, the court made a ruling in Peterson’s petition for habeas corpus, which could lead to his conviction being overturned.

The court ruled that a San Mateo Superior Court judge must decide whether prejudicial misconduct by a juror occurred when she failed to disclose that she’d been the victim of a crime and obtained a restraining order against the perpetrator.

A hearing in that case is scheduled for Nov. 13.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Dave Harris, appearing remotely over video conference along with District Attorney Birgit Fladager, said they wanted to wait for the outcome of that San Mateo hearing before beginning jury selection because they might have to retry the entire case.
[.....]
Pat Harris agreed to a “limited time waiver” of two weeks so that he had time to talk to talk to Peterson.

The next hearing in Stanislaus Court will be held on Nov. 6.

No one from Laci’s family was at the hearing and Laci’s mother, Sharon Rocha, has not responded to recent requests for comment.
