A California district attorney said in a court filing Friday that she won t seek a new death sentence against Scott Peterson, convicted in 2005 of murdering his pregnant wife.
The Stanislaus County district attorney s office said it would drop efforts to restore the penalty thrown out last year by the state Supreme Court. The DA said the decision was made in consultation with Laci Peterson s family.
The California justices ruled the death sentence couldn t stand because potential jurors were excluded after saying they disagreed with the death penalty.
