Scott Peterson, convicted in 2004 of murdering his pregnant wife Laci Peterson and their unborn son Conner, made a virtual court appearance in his ongoing efforts to overturn his convictions. Peterson joined the San Mateo County Superior Court hearing remotely from Mule Creek State Prison, where he is serving a life sentence without parole. The Los Angeles Innocence Project, which began representing Peterson earlier this year, has filed three motions aimed at exoneration. On Tuesday, the court addressed the first motion: a request to seal proceedings to protect potential witnesses' identities. Judge Anne-Christine Massullo dismissed the motion, clearing the way for future public scrutiny of the case. Peterson's legal team argues that key evidence from the original investigation was either mishandled or overlooked. "There are significant questions about the evidence used to convict Mr. Peterson," said a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Innocence Project. The next motion hearing, scheduled for May, will focus on post-conviction DNA testing of evidence connected to a burned van. The van, located near the Petersons' Modesto home around the time of Laci's disappearance in December 2002, contained a blood-stained mattress. A former fire investigator claims the circumstances surrounding this evidence were not thoroughly investigated. In July, the court will hear the third motion, which seeks post-trial discovery. This includes details about a burglary that occurred across the street from the Peterson home at the time of Laci's disappearance, a missing watch belonging to Laci, and documentation from witness interviews. Peterson's case was transferred to San Mateo County for the original trial due to extensive pre-trial publicity in Stanislaus County. In 2004, Peterson was convicted after the remains of Laci and Conner washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay months after being reported missing. The trial revealed troubling details, including Peterson's affair with Fresno massage therapist Amber Frey. Frey testified that Peterson had told her he was a widower, even as his wife was still missing. The California Supreme Court overturned Peterson's death sentence in 2020, ruling that potential jurors were wrongly dismissed for their views on the death penalty. However, his convictions for murder were upheld. In 2021, Peterson was resentenced to life in prison without parole. A 2022 motion for a new trial, based on allegations of juror misconduct, was denied. As Peterson's legal battle continues, questions about the evidence and investigation remain central to his defense. The upcoming hearings could significantly impact the case's trajectory, as Peterson's team seeks to challenge the narrative that led to his convictions nearly two decades ago. #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #TrueCrime #InnocenceProject #LegalBattles #JusticeSystem #CourtUpdate Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Delaware computer repairman who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden's laptop filed a multimillion-dollar defamation suit Tuesday against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, CNN, the Daily Beast and Politico, saying they falsely accused him of peddling Russian disinformation.

“You should feel proud that this is the county you live in and these are the incredible things we bring to the market.”   Anna Genaschi (23:03-23:10)   Anna Genaschi, Director of Communications for the Stanislaus County Farm Bureau, is always looking for opportunities to educate farmers, ranchers, growers and consumers alike about their local food sources and, while getting a salad one day with her coworker from a local fruit stand, she said, “wouldn't it be great if we could take an inventory of all the restaurants in our county and see who is sourcing locally and find a way to give them a shout out?”    From there, the Farm Bureau Foodies video series was born! The Farm Bureau Foodies' series is released every other month and highlights local farmers, growers and ranchers in Stanislaus County and the restaurants that support them. Their first episode highlighted the local dairy farmstead Fiscalini Cheese (this is where cows stay alive, are milked and delicious cheese is made right on the property) that's over 100 years old!    This might not sound that important, but it's educational resources like this that help diminish the spread of misinformation that's one of the biggest threats to our domestic agriculture. For example, Anna's mom gave her a call after watching a news story that claimed harvesting almonds kills bees. Anna explained to her mom that bees aren't even in the almond orchard at the time of harvest! Instead, bees join the orchard during bloom in February and almonds aren't harvested until late August to early September. The second episode of Farm Bureau Foodies even talks about how bees leave almond orchards healthier than before, and the interesting science behind why.   “The number one thing in my opinion that's a threat to our domestic agriculture is the misinformation that's out there and the misunderstanding of what life and the practice is on the farm.” Anna Genaschi (24:23-24:37)   Organizations like the Farm Bureau serve as a catalyst for change and improvement, as well as a safe space for their members (our farmers) to share their ideas, best practices, assembly task forces, and decide how to make the necessary changes and improvements to our agriculture industry. Creating a series that speaks to consumers is extremely beneficial for this because there are a lot of regulations farmers are up against that affect their ability to attain and sustain the labor they need to thrive. Labor laws and water regulations are the two top issues both Anna and Lori agree our farmers and growers are fighting against, and we need more voters to use their voice and advocate for what's going to keep our farmers, growers and ranchers successful.   “Farm security and food security is national security and the only way we have food security is if we have profitable farmers.” Lori Taylor (15:28-15:35)   The goal of the Farm Bureau Foodies' episodes is to, of course, entertain and educate consumers, but also instill a sense of pride. When you find out what your local county grows, the incredible history and hard work that goes into production and the unique, delicious meals local restaurants can create because of it, how could you not feel proud? Many people don't know that their favorite restaurant meals are sourced locally, or what goes into making that sustainable process possible.   “We have transparency. We have nothing to hide, we are doing things in a way that we believe are our best practices and we're not trying to hide anything about what's happening on the farm.” Anna Genaschi (24:06-24:17)   The Farm Bureau Foodies' series is just getting started and has already created some great episodes you don't want to miss! Your mouth will be watering when you watch the first episode of some delicious shrimp and grits made with Fiscalini bandage wrapped cheddar cheese. Their second episode features Roberts Ferry Gourmet with a delightful milkshake that uses almond (or as the locals say “ammon”) butter.

Despite the misleading mainstream headlines, Kaepernick's youth encompasses racially biased incidents, structural racism and an introduction to white privilege at a very young age. In this episode of News Too Real: An in-depth review of newly released, 6-part, dramedy series to Netflix, "Colin in Black and White ", producer host Julia Dudley Najieb gives specific details of Colin Kaepernick's upbringing in the Central Valley city of Turlock, CA, located in Stanislaus County relative to her own experiences growing up in the Almaden Valley. She reiterates the bouts of racism, racial bias and white privilege he had to navigate through as a bi-racial--although he embraced Blackness-- young person raised by two White parents; as a talented tri-athlete in basketball, baseball, and football, Kaepernick at a young age had to navigate through a Black-culture identity crisis followed by racially biased incidents, while trying to have a comprehension of what was happening to him simultaneously. Dudley Najieb also details the strong directorial leadership of the dramedy series produced by former NLF player, Kaepernick and award-winning, writer, director and producer, Ava Duvernay that has been overshadowed by mainstream media headlines focused on the first 2 min. of the first show in the series, which dramatizes the NFL comparison to slavery, narrated by Kaerpernick. As the dramedy series has more insightful topics related to the young, resilient Kaepernick growing up in a predominately white environment as the only "Black" kid on the block, Dudley Najieb also reviews the news headlines which talk about the direct sabotage and conspiracy that white journalists, or white people had toward Kaepernick to permanently destroy his NFL career for kneeling quietly during the national anthem played before games, as his way of politically taking a stance against police brutality and the injustices against Black and Brown people throughout the nation.

Greg Kyler is a retired businessman who currently resides in Oakdale, CA.  Mr. Kyler began his career at the age of 10 with a paper route, and he credits the experience with being the catalyst for his entrepreneurial career trajectory.  At the age of 17 he was hired at Save Mart Supermarkets as a service clerk, and went on to be promoted several times, ultimately serving as an Assistant Manager.  After 15 years at Save Mart, he made the decision to leave and begin a career with UPS as a route driver.  Thanks to his prior leadership experience , he was promoted to the position of On-Car Supervisor after less than two years.   In 1997, at the age of 40 and after a 23-year career in corporate America, Mr. Kyler realized his lifelong goal of business ownership by founding City Signs in Modesto, CA.  What started as a one-employee organization with sales of $189 thousand grew to be an organization that employees 28 individuals and recorded $3.3 million in sales for fiscal year 2020 under his leadership.  Mr. Kyler sold City Signs at the end of 2020 to two of the company's most tenured employees, and the company continues to thrive under their leadership. Mr. Kyler is a native Californian who was born in Red Bluff, CA and relocated to Turlock, CA at the age of six.  He has lived in Stanislaus County ever since.  He is enjoying retirement with his wife Chris and his long-haired German Shepherd Hawk.  Mr. Kyler has two adult children and two grandchildren, and stays busy in retirement by spending time with his family and playing plenty of golf.  The Kyler's are in the process of building a retirement home in Salado, TX, and they plan to relocate in the early fall.

With rain returning to Northern California recently, it's only appropriate we talk about water use on the farms here and across the country. Surprisingly, water use is down. Even more surprisingly, California is not the leading state when it comes to irrigated acreage. Who do you think is number one? We have a report. Besides H20, let's talk H2A, the federal program for securing farm labor. And we examine why labor costs are going up. The largest wholesale grower of fruit and nut trees in the U.S. is based locally in Stanislaus County. And they have just gotten a little bigger, purchasing another large whole grower's property in adjacent San Joaquin County. We have the details. With the rash of warnings about contaminated foods that were issued by the Center for Disease Control during Thanksgiving Week, we tell you how California and the state's leafy greens industry are working to make sure the food you buy is safe. All that, a look ahead at the weather, the latest California crop reports, and more…on this week's KSTE Farm Hour.
