A state appeals court Tuesday denied a defense request for a new jury and change of venue for the penalty phase of Scott Peterson’s murder case.
A three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeals in San Francisco refused to intervene in a petition filed by attorney Mark Geragos. On Monday, Judge Alfred A. Delucchi denied Geragos’ motion seeking a new jury in San Mateo County or a new jury in another venue to decide whether Peterson, who was convicted of killing his wife, should be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.
