Scott Peterson will be sentenced in November to life in prison without the chance for parole, a judge said Wednesday. Peterson,48, was convicted of killing his wife and unborn son in 2002 and sentenced in 2005 to die for the crime. But the high-profile case turned into a legal mess. The California Supreme Court ruled last year that the initial trial judge messed up the jury selection in Peterson’s case and overturned his sentence. However, the court upheld the murder convictions, so Peterson has remained behind bars at San Quentin State Prison.
