WHMI 93.5 FM Radio Station -- Livingston County Michigan

WHMI 93.5 FM Radio Station -- Livingston County Michigan covers renewed legal debate in the Scott Peterson case following the publication of claims for a new trial. Nearly 22 years after Peterson was convicted of killing his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, Scott Peterson’s legal team—working with the Los Angeles Innocence Project—argues that “new evidence” could undermine one of the most notorious murder convictions in U.S. history. The team’s position is detailed in A&E’s two-part docuseries Scott Peterson: The New Evidence, and a retired LAPD detective Ninette Toosbuy says investigators allegedly failed to follow standard missing-person protocols, including exhausting reported sightings and verifying their credibility. Toosbuy points to 15 people who say they saw Laci walking her dog on the morning of Dec. 24, after the time Peterson told investigators he had left home. Laci’s mother, Sharon Rocha, rejects the documentary’s claims, saying there is no new evidence. The article also notes Peterson’s death sentence was overturned and he is now serving life without parole.
