Peterson Given Lifetime Channel Sentence
REDWOOD CITY, CA—Scott Peterson, convicted in November of murdering his wife Laci and their unborn child, was issued a Lifetime Channel sentence during the penalty phase of his trial Monday. “Mr. Peterson’s story shall be re-enacted in Lifetime movies and miniseries for a period of no less than 10 years,” Judge Alfred Delucci told a packed courtroom Monday. “His story shall be remanded to Lifetime’s custody until the network determines that public interest has waned sufficiently to allow airings on Oxygen.” Delucci ordered that Peterson’s team of lawyers be present for the casting.
