Convicted murderer Scott Peterson was denied a new trial in the 2002 death of his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, a judge has ruled. The decision comes more than a year after the California Supreme Court ordered Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine Massullo to consider whether juror misconduct denied Peterson a fair trial. Nice, who co-wrote a book about the case with other jurors, has denied that she was influenced by her personal experiences. His sentence was overturned by the California Supreme Court in 2020.

☆ Imagine you just worked a 111-hour week. That's what many workers in 4 US cities would have to do to afford rent.
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-22 | by ( Jason Lalljee | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

To afford a "fair market" one bedroom in NYC, minimum wage workers would need to put in 111 hours a week, a study found. They'd have to work even more to afford rent in Dallas, San Jose, or Chicago. When looking at affordability for minimum wage workers, the United Way researchers say that even a fair-market price is out of reach based on their current rate of pay. Instead of paying sky-high rent prices, minimum wage workers are cramming into tighter living arrangements, going homeless, or far exceeding the recommended portion of one's income they should spend on rent. Until this month, the minimum wage for New York home aides was $15 an hour, but got a bump to $17 an hour.
