they spoke about the fact that they feel robbed by scott peterson. lacy peterson's mother pointed out to scott peterson that their son would have been an adult at this point and absolved of any responsibility for his child and instead he continues to be behind bars. we were here earlier this morning as the attorney for scott peterson arrived in the courtroom. our colleague is one of just a handful of reporters inside that courtroom witnessing the hearing in person. we saw the hearing through a courtroom feed that we are prohibited by law from recording or sharing with you so all we can do is tell you what happened. the stanislas county district attorney addressed peterson's lack of remorse. his attorney countered with the assertion the prosecution case was not based on evidence but on insinuation and that there is new evidence that's come to light. here's a timeline of the events of the case. eight months pregnant laci peterson was reported missing christmas eve 2002 in her hometown of modesto. nearly four months later her body and unborn son's body w

scott peterson will be back in a bay area courtroom tomorrow. this comes as the california supreme court overturned peterson's death sentence last year, because jurors who personally disagreed with the death penalty but were willing to impose it were improperly dismissed by the judge. but while his death step was overturned on appeal, the high court left in place his murder conviction. let's bring in our legal analyst dean johnson. you and i covered the entire trial in 2004 to 2005. we saw a conviction. then a sentence. now there's a resentence. is this unusual? >> it's not that unusual. death penalties are quite frequently overturned. of course anyone who receives the death penalty gets an automatic appeal. and in this particular case, it was predictable, because the selection process itself left this jury not only qualified to impose the death penalty but pre-disposed to do so. >> laci's family was at the entire trial. they will be there tomorrow. we are told they will give powerful victim impact statements. could that even affect the judge's d

we wanted to talk to scott peterson, but he wasn't interested. use he didn't like my coverage of the case back in 2003. scott's frantic story, simple yet utterly baffling was this -- his family still insists he's an innocent man. and we wanted to hear that from them. they turned us down, too and suggested we talk to a retired journalist named richard cole who shares their point of view, and said the prosecution theory of the case makes no sense. >> because it was so ridiculous. scott peterson kills his 160-pound wife. puts her body in the back of his truck. he then drives it to his office to pick up the boat. and then what does he do with the dead body of his wife in a parking lot? he goes back into the office, spends an hour on the internet sending christmas email to his boss. and then he said, "oh, well, i guess i better get rid of the body now." >> reporter: cole believes that media coverage, biased against the defendant, somehow seeped inside the courtroom. >> this gigantic tsunami of media coverage, much of it false, much of it totally distor

i think it was strategic on the part of scott peterson's defense. he has the opportunity in the sentencing hearing to make a statement about his innocence about giving the prosecution the benefit of cross examination. that's a message not to the court, but that's a message to potential jurors. i think they're looking forward to scott peterson ii, the retrial. >> why is there a chance they may be granted a new trial? >> the one claim, the habeas corpus proceeding, strawberry shortcake was the proverbial stealth juror. she said things in voir dire that weren't true, and she did that in an effort to get on the jury and do what she could to convict scott peterson, and what an irony that would be if the juror who was most adamant about his guilt, and most adamant about him deserving the death penalty would be the reason that scott peterson someday walks out of court as a free man. >> who has an advantage, the prosecutor or defense? >> the old adage is that the defense has the advantage. >> thank you for your time. >> our coverage continues online. go to

scott peterson. the sentence will not be a surprise because there's only one option for the judge, but this hearing is expected to be anything but ordinary. >>> plus, breaking right now pfizer out this morning with new data on how the vaccine responds to the omicron variant. ahead in a live report, the new response from pfizer' ceo that just spoke to the "today" show. this is "today in the bay." >>> good wednesday morning to you. thank you so much for making us part of your morning. i am marcus washington. >> i am laura garcia. we have so much to start out with, and let's start out with kari hall. >> as you are stepping out the door in fremont, visibility is clear and we have not seen the patchy fog and temperatures in the upper 50s right now and headed from the upper 40s. showers moving from the north and clouds reaching in from the pacific. this is going to be part of a quick moving system that will bring in light amounts of rain, only a few hundreds of an inch. we do have a bigger storm system by

scott peterson is scheduled to be sentenced again. the 49-year-old will return to court in redwood city to formerly hear his new sentence, but it's no mystery what the judge will say. >> the only thing the judge can do is impose life without parole. >> why is peterson's death sentence being thrown out? >> scott peterson is being resentenced because the california supreme court struck down the death penalty, and the way the jury was selected violated the state constitution, and that made the death penalty verdict rendered by the jury illegal. >> friends and family of lacey are expected to give impact statements at the hearing, and peterson's attorney continue to fight to have his conviction overturned based on claims that juror number 7 in the original trial, also known as strawberry shortcake, lied to get on the jury, depriving peterson of a fair trial. >> i think there's a very real possibility that the judge is going to order that scott peterson get a new trial due to the extent of the juror misconduct in the original trial. >> that

when laci's mother spoke as she did not break as she glared at scott peterson and told him, there are two things that will never change, "lacey and connor will always be dead and you will always be there murderer." peterson was prepared to speak but did not get a chance to speak, his attorney maintained his innocence and after the hearing and summed up what peterson wanted to say. >> he understands why they believe that he is guilty but he wanted to make it clear that there is no way he could have possibly harmed laci and connor . that is the essence of what he would say. >> reporter: this is not the last time we will see scott peterson, he has another big hearing early next year. >> reporter: yes, that is the hearing he and his defense team are set on because that hearing, based upon one allegation of juror misconduct, could determine whether or not peterson gets an entirely new trial. of course, up until then, peterson will remain in custody. >>> in san jose, elizabeth holmes wrapped up her last day on the witness stand in the defense has rested. as her testimony came to a close, sh

the defense attorneys for scott peterson and his family were insistent that he's innocent. >> peterson appeared in court wearing an orange jail jumpsuit. had a face mask on for covid-19 reasons. also in the court room today was scott peterson's family and also the family of lacey peterson, including 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 peter

scott peterson was sentenced for the death of his wife and their son. he will walk into a courtroom where he was sentenced 17 years ago and be resentenced. only three reporters have been selected to be inside the courtroom when that happens. and marianne favro is one of them. she joins us with a look at what happens tomorrow. >> reporter: the sentencing hearing should last about two hours, and we are expecting to hear from peterson himself. the judge has allocated 16 seats inside the courtroom for laci peterson's friends and family. that was then, this is now. more than 17 years after he was convicted for the murders of his wife laci and their unborn son connor, scott peterson is set to be sentenced again. he will return to court in redwood city to formally hear his new sentence, but it's no mystery what the judge will say. >> well, the only thing the judge can do tomorrow is impose life without the possibility of parole. for our purposes, that's the only option tomorrow. >> reporter: what changed? why is peterson's death sentence being thrown out? >> s

scott peterson is expected to read a short statement in court. the judge has allocated 16 seats in the courtroom for lacey's family and 16 seats for peterson's family. >> tomorrow is the resentencing, and then in february, help me understand this. another big decision about this case, about a possible retrial. we could set this back to square one, is that right? >> it is a possibility. in fact, legal analysts say it's a very strong possibility. here's the deal. peterson's attorneys are asking for a retrial. and it all has to do with one specific juror that they say lied. they allege that she lied specifically so that she could get on the jury and convict peterson. and they say because of that, peterson did not get a fair trial. and they will be arguing that in february before the same judge. >> so two things. tomorrow, the resentencing where he will be life in jail. and february, the possible announcement of a new trial. marianne favro, thank you for your time tonight. >>> other headlines this evening. a lot of talk and now action. san francisco a

scott peterson's lawyers pushing to get a new trial, that cannot be surprising. >> scott peterson will remain in san mateo county, until the next hearing in february. that hearing is going to be really interesting. far more interesting than what happened today because a juror is accused of engaging in misconduct and as a result of that, peterson's lawyers are saying that he should have a new trial because that misconduct deprived him of a fair trial. so, there will be testimony and witnesses, and the juror herself may testify. i say may, because if she is looking at criminal penalties such as perjury, she may decide to take the fifth. right now, there is no reason to believe that, i think she has even indicated if she got immunity from criminal prosecution that she would speak at the trial and testify. >> have to feel for lacey's family having to go through this and again in february. does the decision today impact what happens in february? >> not really. the decision today had nothing to do with the guilt. the california supreme court said in sending this case back for resentencing, t

what was scott peterson's body language like during all of this? >> reporter: liz, overall he was calm and collected. there was one point where it appeared he shook his head when the prosecution was rehashing some of the details from the trial, but something that did jump out to me was a moment during the time when lacey's family was going and talking to peterson directly from across the courtroom. from my vantage point it appeared as if peterson was staring intently, concentrated on what they were telling him, rarely averting his gaze. >> must have been very hard for her family. max, thank you. >>> another high-profile case we are following, the prosecution and defense have rested in the elizabeth holmes fraud trial. len ramirez has details on a key ruling that could come next. >>> the defense and prosecution have rested their cases but with the jury instructions, closing arguments, and jury deliberations, this case is still far from over. >> reporter: in her final moments on the witness stand, elizabeth holmes attorney wrapped up the defense case
