Letter May Help Scott Peterson
by TChris
Perry Mason was fortunate to have an investigator who repeatedly found the evidence that Mason needed to prove his client's innocence -- usually just in the nick of time, as Mason was cross-examining the true culprit. The real world is less dramatic -- most of the time.
Defense attorneys in Scott Peterson's murder trial will investigate claims made in an anonymous letter saying that someone else may have killed Peterson's pregnant wife.
Judge Alfred A. Delucchi sealed the letter so its contents are unknown. How long it will take the defense to investigate the information contained in the letter is also unknown, but Peterson's jury selection is in progress, and opening statements are scheduled for May 17. Will the true killer be found, Perry Mason style, in the midst of trial? Stay tuned.
