Written by SOURCE on December 8, 2021
Scott Peterson has been resentenced to life in prison for killing his pregnant wife Laci Peterson, NBC News reports.
Peterson was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing Laci in 2002, and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for killing their unborn child, Conner. He was originally sentenced to death in 2005 following a lengthy trial, and he spent over 15 years on death row as a result of the verdict. His original sentencing was overturned last year by the California Supreme Court.
Laci Peterson was killed in December 2002 five years into their marriage. She was eight months pregnant at the time.
