California prosecutors say they are preparing to retry the penalty phase of the murder case against Scott Peterson after the state Supreme Court recently overturned his death sentence.
Friday’s hearing focused on Peterson’s death sentence, which was overturned by the California Supreme Court in August. Prosecutor David Harris would not commit to seeking the death penalty again, saying only, « at this point in time, we are on a track to retry the case. » While most of the hearing centered on procedural and calendaring issues, Peterson sat quietly in a blue prison shirt and blue face mask.
