Laci Peterson's family is 'horrified' that husband Scott could go free

Convicted killer wants to be released from prison more than two decades after he was convicted of — and her family tells the DailyMail.com they're 'horrified' at the possibility.

The Innocence Project has filed a petition presenting new evidence and witness statements that they say will exonerate Peterson of the December 2002 slaying of his wife, Laci Peterson, and unborn son, Conner.

'We are representing him because we believe he is innocent, based on the evidence,' says John Sonego, the board chair of the LA Innocence Project. 'This is about the evidence, not about emotion. If we thought he was guilty, we wouldn't represent him.'
