Scott Peterson resentenced to life without parole for 2002 murder of wife, unborn child

"You will always be their murderer," said Sharon Rocha.

Scott Peterson was resentenced on Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole, nearly 17 years after he was sentenced to death for the murder of his wife and unborn son.

Peterson was convicted in November 2004 for killing his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, who was to be named Connor, on Christmas Eve in 2002.

Peterson was sentenced to death in March 2005 and had remained on death row up until last year when the California Supreme Court overturned his death sentence, citing that his jury was improperly screened for bias against the death penalty, according to court documents.

Some members of Laci Peterson's family confronted Peterson in court on Wednesday.
