Peterson defense presses for dismissal in Laci Peterson case
Redwood City California. A judge will decide if murder charges against Scott Peterson are dismissed after his attorney accused a prosecution witness of lying on the stand. Judge Alfred A. Delucchi set July 25 to hear defense arguments. Delucchi has denied two mistrial requests amid seven weeks of trial. The dispute centers on Detective Allen Brocchini testimony about a tip after Laci Peterson and her fetus were found on a San Francisco Bay shore.
