Scott Peterson returns to court to fight 2004 murder conviction with help of Los Angeles Innocence Project

Convicted killer Scott Peterson appeared in a San Mateo County courtroom Tuesday morning as he fights to overturn his 2004 conviction for the murders of his pregnant wife and their unborn son.Peterson attended Tuesday morning's status conference hearing remotely and did not speak much outside of formalities like, 'Yes, your honor.'The Los Angeles Innocence Project took up Peterson's case in January, filing a motion for DNA testing to clear Peterson possibly.

Peterson was arrested in April 2003 shortly after Amber Frey, a massage therapist living in Fresno, told police that they had begun dating a month before his wife's death and that he had told her his wife was dead.Outside of court on Tuesday, Peterson's attorney Paula Canny referenced the affair in comments to reporters.'What if he's not guilty, okay?' said Canny.
