ignored them. preliminary dna testing on that van did find human blood, but these attorneys are now asking new modern testing to reveal the identity of who that dna belongs to. and if any of it belongs to laci, then that could be enough to create an argument for a new trial. the call for dna testing legal expert michael cardoza says, isn't a far fetched request. >> it wasn't vetted, according to what i know about this case, as fully as it should have been. and then if it's denied, you're going to have people out there. the majority of people are absolutely convinced that scott peterson did this. okay the majority. but the other people that say, wait a minute, he didn't get a fair trial. let's put that to rest and say, no, no, no, they got to redo that. and now you have no more complaints. now we spend the rest of his life in prison. >> the stanislaus district attorney's office says they already cleared those burglars
