Reporter in april 2003, lacey petersons body was found in San Francisco bay near the berkeley marina. This latest twist not to examine the convictions comes months after the state Supreme Court overturned his death sentence, citing the trial judge made mistakes during jury selection. Its rare because in a sense theres almost 2 reversals, a reversal of the death verdict, and there is also sort of the reversal of the guilt phase. It is not quite been reversed yet but it is certainly heading in that direction. Plus a major step, we are happy to be at the point now where we can hopefully get the convictions set aside.
