Scott Peterson was assaulted by another inmate during a game of pickleball. The incident was triggered when Peterson aggressively approached the inmate in an attempt to retrieve the ball. Corrections officers intervened to stop the altercation. Peterson suffered injuries but did not need to be hospitalized.

The last time convicted double murderer Scott Peterson was in the headlines, was when his death sentence was reversed by California’s Supreme Court.

The high court found that the 2002 trial in the deaths of Peterson’s wife Laci and their unborn son was fair; those murder convictions will stand.

In a separate legal matter, the court determined that the judge had erroneously dismissed potential jurors who merely voiced general opposition to the death penalty on their questionnaires.

Peterson is expected to be resentenced to life in prison on Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021, after the state Supreme Court ruled that his jury was improperly screened for bias against the death penalty.
