Hope for Scott Peterson; Court Allows DNA Examination on Duct Tape Found with Laci Peterson’s Body

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the renewed focus on Scott Peterson's case, spurred by two new documentaries and the involvement of the L.A. Innocence Project. The conversation centers on the potential impact of new DNA evidence found on a piece of duct tape, which could possibly lead to a retrial for Peterson. Motta revisits the overwhelming circumstantial evidence against Peterson, such as the homemade boat anchors and the presence of Laci Peterson’s hair in the boat. He questions whether the discovery of another person’s DNA could introduce reasonable doubt, particularly if it belongs to individuals with a motive to harm Laci. However, Motta also acknowledges the challenges of countering the substantial evidence already presented in the case. He highlights the importance of ensuring that convictions are secure and grounded in truth, especially when new technological advancements allow for further investigation. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the justice system’s duty to reexamine cases in light of new evidence to ensure that the right individuals are held accountable.
