Laci Peterson’s family helps lead charge against California prison policy that could free serial killers

• The family of Laci Peterson is leading the charge against a new California parole board policy that could open the door for resentencing or clemency for serial killers, mass murderers and others.
• Public safety advocates and victims’ families filed a lawsuit last month looking to block the changes to California’s parole system, which they say could allow for some people serving life sentences without parole to eventually be released.
• The new policy creates a guideline where prisioners with long sentences could be granted resentencing hearings.
