A California judge sentenced former fertilizer salesman Scott Peterson March 16, 2005 to death for the murder of his wife and unborn son in a case that attracted nationwide attention. Superior Court Judge Alfred Delucchi sentenced Peterson after calling him "cruel, uncaring, heartless and callous". Earlier, Laci Peterson's family emotionally condemned the shackled prisoner, prompting Scott Peterson's parents to leave the courtroom. REUTERS/Al Golub/POOL/File JDP

Scott Peterson looks on (C) alongside his attorneys Mark Geragos (L) and Pat Harris during a hearing inside the San Mateo County Superior Courthouse in Redwood City, California July 29, 2004. Peterson, 31, could get the death penalty if convicted of murdering his wife Laci and their unborn son Conner on December 24. 2002. Prosecutors allege he murdered Laci at their Modesto, California home, put her body in a tool box and then dumped it overboard. The bodies of Laci and the baby boy were washed up in the bay four months later. The judge rejected a defense bid on Thursday to throw out the case because of prosecutorial errors.
