0:39Now PlayingThe family of Laci Peterson — who was brutally murdered by her husband, Scott Peterson, at eight months pregnant — faced her killer for the first time in almost 20 years during his resentencing to life in prison without parole Wednesday, saying he is the one who deserved to die.
Scott Peterson was back in court over the 2002 slayings of his wife and unborn son after the California Supreme Court overturned his death penalty sentence last year.
“Laci’s dead, Scott, because she loved you, and she trusted you,” her mother, Sharon Rocha, said on the stand.
Wednesday’s hearing followed the high court’s ruling that the jury wasn’t correctly screened for opinions on capital punishment when convicting Peterson. Judge Anne-Christine Massullo resentenced Peterson to life in prison without parole for the murder of his wife, and 15 years to life for the murder of his unborn child.
The hearing was emotionally wrought, as members of Laci’s family fought through tears to speak, but there was no emotion from Peterson, who sat masked and stone-faced.
