Is there anywhere we can read Laci’s family’s statements? Sharon is so strong, I’ve always admired her.
They were very clear that any recording of the hearing would result in a charge of contempt of court; it seems unlikely anyone will have a full transcription.
 
Update!

Wednesday, December 8th:
*Re-Sentencing Hearing (Stanislaus & San Mateo County) (@ 10am PT) – CA – Laci Denise Peterson (27) & Connor (unborn) (missing Dec. 24, 2002, Modesto; found April 13, 2003 in the San Francisco Bay) - *Scott Lee Peterson (30 @ time of crime/now 47) convicted & found guilty (11/12/04) of 1st degree murder (Laci) & 2nd degree murder(son) & sentenced (3/16/05) to the death penalty.
He was found guilty on 11/12/04 of the 1st degree murder of his pregnant wife, Laci, & the 2nd degree murder of their unborn son, Connor, & in 2005, he was sentenced to death by lethal injection. His case is currently on automatic appeal to the Supreme Court of California. Sits on San Quentin's death row. Calif. Supreme Court denied a new trial in the guilt phase but reversed the death penalty sentence for Stanislaus County. Also the San Mateo Superior Court will now consider whether there was jury misconduct. Stanislaus County district attorney’s office said it won’t seek the death penalty if there is a new trial.

The prime sociopath. Evil, empty eyes. Thank god he is where he belongs—FOREVER. This random legal technicality has made my nerves pulsate. What a nightmare for her family.
RIP LACI
 
Scott Peterson is an ‘evil, sociopathic’ remorseless killer, Laci’s family says

“On Dec. 8, exactly 19 years ago today, you researched boat launch ramps in the San Francisco Bay. On Dec. 9 you bought the boat. The boat you used to dump Laci’s body in the bay. You dumped her body in the bay like a piece of garbage.”
“On Dec. 14, you lied to Laci telling her you couldn’t go to the Christmas party. When in fact you drove to Fresno and went to a Christmas party with Amber. On Dec. 15, Ron and I had dinner at your house. I’ve thought about that evening over and over again. Sharing a meal together and listening to Laci talk about the baby. You were already planning her murder. You already researched where you’d dump the body.”
“How evil you are. That evening was the last time I ever saw my daughter alive. You should be put to death. You deserve the death penalty.”
 
District Attorney will grant Scott Peterson juror immunity | KRON4

Jan. 7, 2022

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (KRON) — A woman accused of being a “stealth juror” in Scott Peterson’s murder trial will be granted immunity when she testifies in a San Mateo County courtroom later this month.

Stanislaus County District Attorney Birgit Fladager announced Monday that she will grant juror Richelle Nice immunity from self-incrimination for Peterson’s hearing.

The Feb. 25 hearing will be a make-or-break moment in Peterson’s battle for a new murder trial.

Judge Anne Christine Massullo will listen to five days of testimony to make her ruling. If the judge decides Nice committed juror misconduct and was bias against Peterson, his murder conviction will be overturned.
[.....]
Nice planned to plead the Fifth at Peterson’s upcoming hearing.

On Monday Fladager said she will grant immunity so that Nice can testify without incriminating herself.

If Nice refuses to answer questions on the stand even after the district attorney grants immunity, Nice would be held in contempt of court, legal analyst Michele Hagan said.
