Scott Peterson was scheduled to appear remotely in a San Francisco Bay Area courtroom again Tuesday morning in the first of three motion hearings in his bid to have his 2004 murder convictions overturned.

Tuesday's 9 a.m. hearing in Redwood City was on the motion to seal proceedings in the case. Peterson will appear at the hearing via Zoom from his location at Mule Creek State Prison in Amador County.The Los Angeles Innocence Project took up Peterson's case in January, filing three motions to possibly clear Peterson of murdering his pregnant wife Laci and unborn son. The motion to seal proceedings would shield the identities of potential witnesses for Peterson's defense.

While the case was originally from Stanislaus County, San Mateo County Superior Court in Redwood City is the venue for Tuesday's hearing as it was during the original trial; the trial was moved because of the pre-trial publicity in Stanislaus County.
