Best Answer

As per request of the defense, the trial of Scott Peterson (a resident of Modesto, CA) was moved to Redwood City, CA, which is located just south of the city of San Francisco. Known as a 'change of venue', usually requested by the defense, it moves a trial out of the county or district where the crime occured to another location, for crimes that have garnered a lot of pre-trial publicity. It is meant to insure an unbiased jury pool and a fair and just verdict for the defendant.

Who killed Tracy Peterson?

I am going to assume that you mean Laci Peterson. I have never heard of Tracy Peterson. Laci Peterson was murdered by her husband Scott Peterson in Modesto CA. At the time she was 8 months pregnant so Scott was also charged with the murder of the unborn boy baby named Conner. Scott Peterson was found guilty of both murders and was sentenced to death by lethal injection. Peterson now sits on San Quentin's death row. Also, see the link below for another possible Peterson case; Drew Peterson, currently on trial for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Salvo, killed in 2004. He is also under suspicion in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, but has not yet been charged in that case.
