Peterson defense rests case in Laci Peterson murder trial
Scott Peterson’s defense rested after presenting 14 witnesses over six days and not calling him to testify. Prosecutors plan eight rebuttal witnesses next, with closing arguments starting Monday and jurors expected to receive the case by November 3. The defense argues someone else abducted Laci and her fetus, who vanished near December 24, 2002, with remains later found near where Peterson claimed to fish. Evidence includes testimony on a burglary link and Peterson’s cash at arrest, while a fetus timeline suggests death around December 29, 2002.

Court rules NYC removal policy in domestic violence cases oversteps state law
New York Court of Appeals in a 7 to 0 decision held that removing children from homes where mothers are subjected to domestic violence can violate state law. The ruling requires weighing multiple factors before removal, noting that not every child exposed to violence is at risk and that removal can cause more harm than good.
