REDWOOD CITY, Caifornia, November 12, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The high-profile murder trial of California fertilizer salesman Scott Peterson has resulted in Peterson being found guilty today of the first-degree murder of his pregnant wife Laci and the second-degree murder of their unborn child Connor.
Peterson was convicted of killing his wife and unborn child and dumping his pregnant wife's body in San Francisco Bay in what has been portrayed as a cold-blooded action to escape marriage and fatherhood for a swinging single's life.
The high profile murder conviction for the killing of unborn Connor Peterson highlighted the significance of the passage by Congress of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act which was also called Laci and Connor's Law. President Bush signed the act into law last April.
The conviction was made under already existing California law which allowed criminal charges for the death or injury of an unborn child resulting from an attack on the mother.
