A San Mateo County Superior Court judge on Tuesday denied convicted killer Scott Peterson's plea for new trial, ruling that former juror Richelle Nice was not guilty of misconduct during his original trial.
Peterson's defense team grilled Nice for several days during an August hearing, particularly on her omission on a pre-trial jury questionnaire that she had sought a restraining order in 2000 against her then-boyfriend's former girlfriend, saying then that she feared for the safety of her own unborn child.
The defense team claimed Nice was biased and not objective when she reach a guilty verdict along with her fellow jury members at Peterson's highly publicized 2004 trial of murdering his wife, Laci, and the couple's unborn son Connor. "The letters do not demonstrate a state of mind of contrivance or hatred to support a conclusion that at the time Juror No. 7 filled out the questionnaire, her goal was to lie to sit on the jury and punish the Petitioner ." for saying they personally disagreed with the death penalty but would be willing to follow the law and impose it.
