Scott Peterson Living ‘Cushy’ Life on Death Row (Video)
Imprisoned in San Quentin prison on Death Row for the murder of his wife Laci, Scott Peterson is living a “cushy” life, Geraldo Rivera reported Saturday.
“Scott Peterson is living inside a single cell, inside NorthSeg; it’s the exclusive, it’s the best that you can ever hope to serve,” Nancy Mulane, author of “Life After Murder: Five Men in Search of Redemption,” told Rivera.
Mulane, who has been one of the few people to see Peterson in prison, went on to say he has access to a basketball court, an outdoor shower and toilet, and a roof to protect prisoners from the sun.
