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.
