Scott Peterson juror admits to writing him 17 letters in prison; accused of bias against him

A juror who helped convict Scott Peterson in the 2004 trial of his wife and unborn child’s murders testified in a Northern California court Monday that she wrote 17 letters to him after the trial but denied being biased against him as his defense claims, according to reports.

She confirmed she had written the letters during her second day of testimony Monday, saying, "Unfortunately, yeah." She said her therapist had suggested she write a letter to Peterson for the sake of her mental health, according to the Mercury News. 

But she denied she was biased against Peterson during the trial and said she made her determination about his guilt based solely on the facts, the newspaper reported.
