Read our privacy policy The former juror at the center of Scott Peterson’s bid for a new trial in the murder of his pregnant wife walked into the jury room during deliberations in 2004 and blurted out “that he should basically pay for killing ‘little man,’ ” a former fellow juror testified Tuesday. That conflicts with juror Richelle Nice’s sworn declaration in 2020, but not with the amended testimony she gave Friday and Monday during a hearing into whether she was biased during Peterson's trial in the slayings of his wife, Laci, 27, and the unborn child they planned to name Conner. Stanislaus County Deputy District Attorney David Harris objected to admitting what he called an “extremely late, highly suspect statement” from Anderson that he said is also contradicted by her cameraman. She will have 90 days after the hearing ends to decide whether Nice lied on a pre-trial questionnaire to get on Peterson's jury and was biased against him, thereby denying Peterson a fair trial.
