00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: sentence was later overturned when it was determined Peterson's trial

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: judge improperly dismissed jurors who opposed capital punishment. Peterson was

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: resentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Now, a

Speaker 3: basis of California Penal Code one zero five four point nine,

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: which gives discovery rights to defendants who were convicted of

16

Speaker 3: serious or vice gill And polonies and sentenced to fifteen

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,720

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: are related to a burglary near the Peterson home, and

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: they believe they are connected to the case. The current

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: theory from Scott Peterson and the la Innocent's project is

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: that Lacey was abducted and killed by burglars who broke

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: into a home across the street from the Petersons on

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve two thousand and two. The theory is based

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: on the idea that Lacey was still alive after Scott

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: left to go fishing, because multiple witnesses saw her walking

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,240
