A valley author and artist alleges that Amber Frey, who gained notoriety as the former girlfriend of convicted murderer Scott Peterson, violated a contract between them to write and market a book and a screenplay. Peter Reynosa filed a lawsuit seeking either $250,000 or Frey's renewed cooperation on the book, titled "Memoirs of a Sex Addict," and the screenplay, "Myths of the Flesh."
Scott Peterson's criminal case will return to Stanislaus County this year after his appellate attorney asked the court to unseal evidence used to convict the Modesto man of murder.
The family of convicted murderer Scott Peterson is soliciting donations to help pay for his death penalty appeal. The Peterson family has set up a PayPal account to take donations via its Web site. The family wants to raise nearly $100,000.
