REUTERS

Scott Peterson, the California man convicted of killing his wife and unborn child in a case that garnered national attention in 2004, appeared in court Tuesday in another attempt to launch a new trial—this time with the Los Angeles Innocence Project representing him.

Peterson’s lawyers have claimed they have new evidence that proves he didn’t murder Laci Peterson on Christmas Eve in 2022, but have stopped short of sharing publicly what exact evidence they have.

Peterson appeared virtually from a prison outside Sacramento at Tuesday’s hearing, the first court preceding to take place in his latest attempt to have his conviction thrown out. Defense attorneys and prosecutors attended the hearing in person at a courthouse in San Mateo County, between San Jose and San Francisco.

If you purchase something from our posts, we may earn a small commission.With all the buzz around tweens and teens shopping for luxury and premium beauty products at Sephora, many of us millennials are wondering how today’s youth can afford its price points when we were collecting coins from lemonade sales to afford drugstore items. It’s hard to wrap our heads around the fact that Gen Alpha teens’ bathroom cabinets are chock full of prestige brands like Drunk Elephant, Glow Recipe, and Charlotte Tilbury, compared to their millennial counterparts, who (mostly) shopped drugstore—and maybe treated themselves to the occasional Clinique perfume or Lancome mascara if it was a good month for that after-school babysitting gig.

  46. Seth Meyers Makes a Bold Prediction for Trump-Biden Debate NBCOn Wednesday morning, President Joe Biden officially offered to debate Donald Trump, and the former president quickly accepted. The first of two presidential debates is scheduled for June 27, and Trump himself has seemed confident over his upcoming appearance. As he posted on Truth Social, “Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced - He can’t put two sentences together!”But as Late Night host Seth Meyers argued in his latest “Closer Look” segment, Trump’s debate skills aren’t so hot either. Meyers played a montage of Trump’s rudest, most incoherent moments in the 2020 debates, remarking, “Trump thinks that made him look good… Even Mike Lindell saw that and was like, ‘whoa, you sound crazy.’”Meyers noted how Trump agreed to Biden’s debate conditions, which included no live audience. “I don’t need to tell you that Trump thrives when he’s screaming over a live audience,” Meyers said. “Biden getting Trump to agree to no audiences is like getting a vampire to agree to fight you at noon on the beach during the garlic festival.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
