Scott Peterson’s lawyer claims ‘new’ evidence could acquit client

Geragos spoke to Fox News while attending the CrimeCon 2026 convention in Las Vegas, and boasted that his longtime client is not “capable” of killing his eight-month pregnant wife and unborn child in 2002.

“The Court of Appeals and now the LA Innocence Project all believe there is more than enough to warrant another look at this case, which they should, because it’s been 20 years and I have yet to see anything linking Scott Peterson to a criminal conviction in this case,” the legal eagle stated, adding, “Never mind that he would actually do this because he is clearly incapable of doing so.”

Geragos was asked if he could point to anything specific to convince a court to “change” Scott’s situation.

“I think the most compelling thing is that the court was completely wrong that the DNA testing had to be done, the forensic testing had to be done,” he explained.

“The idea that somehow the prosecution is fighting it so vigorously now that we’ve discovered that the prosecution actually hid this evidence, the fact that they don’t want it tested speaks volumes about how convinced they are of the conviction,” Geragos snorted.
