lacey peterson's family spoke out in court. her mother called scott peterson's actions evil, self centered and unforgivable. but peterson's sister in law maintains his innocence. there is no forensic evidence. there is no timeline to this crime. scott peterson is innocent. and we are now trying to reverse that. peterson will be back in court for a hearing in february to determine whether he gets a new trial on the grounds of juror misconduct. the defense says a juror was biased against peterson because she failed to disclose that she had requested a restraining order when she was pregnant. note. 11 2 businesses in marin county say someone is threatening to burn down their establishments if they continue to ask for proof of vaccination . one businesses, the paper mill creek saloon enforced knowles. this picture of the note was posted on the bar's facebook page. it reads if the vaccine passport isn't removed by this time next week, this place will burn the business says a man in a black ski mask came into the bar and left that not

her brother sister and mother now lacey peterson's family was allowed to speak today. her sister, amy said there's not a day that goes by that i don't think about my sister and sharon rocha. lacey's mother accused scott of feeling no remorse or sorrow and wanted him to admit to killing her. originally we believe that scott peterson would make a statement today in court. the judge denied that instead moving right to sentencing him not allowing him to speak or to allow his family to speak after the hearing, peterson's attorney pat harris was asked why the judge chose not to let peterson make a statement. >> so i questioned her and ask her if she would allow him to make an allocation, allow scott to speak and she said no. you would have to ask the judge about that. i don't know why scott peterson's sister-in-law also spoke to the press saying the family believes scott is innocent and they want a retrial. >> our family is in this for the long haul. we will be here in 2 months. we look forward to scott being granted a new trial and when he is, we're going to show that he is

there will be drama as lacey peterson's family endures the pain of facing him in the courtroom once againt week scott peterson was transferred from death row at san quentin to the jail here. he is now 49 years old. looking pretty much the same. last year the california supreme court overturned his death sentence after ruling the original trial judge wrongly excluded potential jurors opposed to capital punishment. when peterson was originally sentenced in 2005, lacey's heartbroken mother called him an evil murderer who deserved to burn in hell for all eternity. sharon may address her again today. no cameras allowed in court. we'll tell you what happens. meantime in another legal twist there could be a do over of the whole trial because of alleged juror misconduct. peterson's lawyer says during jury selection in 2004 one of the women on the jury lied about being the victim of domestic violence and say she did that intentionally to get onto the jury to punish scott peterson. in the months ahead a judge will decide if there was juror misconduct and if scott peterson deserves a whole new trial

so this is a big deal as far as his appearance also in appearance will be lacey peterson's family and members of his own family. here's what you need to know. he will not be going free after this is just a re sentencing going from the death penalty to life in prison without parole because as you talked about the california supreme court looked at this. they said that the judge in the case made an error when he came to questioning the jurors on who should be in the jury or not when it comes to the death penalty and their views on it. plus, governor gavin newsom has put a moratorium on the death penalty. so that's just going to be revisited. re sentenced in this particular case, it seems like the prosecutors they have the blessing of lacey peterson's family saying it's just too gut wrenching for them to go through. once again. so it probably will be a quick court appearance, which we will stream as far as other issues with scott peterson, he has maintained that he has been innocent throughout all of this lacy peterson disappeared on christmas eve. 19 years ago in 2002 her body was found

mother looked peterson directly into his eyes and called him a coward while lacey's sister and brother talked about the pain and devastation left behind by those murders. the judge denied peterson's request to talk. he could be granted a new trial in february when a judge hears arguments over jury misconduct. this morning peterson's lawyer tells the "today" show the new evidence exonerates peterson. >> we now know that the burglary that occurred across the street which the modesto police originally stated occurred on december 26th, we now can present evidence it actually occurred at the time lacey disappeared. >> peterson continues to maintain his innocence. >>> the drama in the elizabeth holmes fraud trial now goes for another week. final testimony yesterday finished with holmes in her second day on the stand. her defense team never called the potential expert witness who would have talked about abusive relationships. closing arguments take place one week from today and after that the jury should begin deliberations. >>> an east bay woman finds out her legacy, much
