The judge will hold a hearing on two issues. He'll decide whether TV interviews Peterson did before he was arrested can be admitted as evidence.

The prosecution claims Peterson contradicts himself in the interviews, and they prove he killed his wife.

The judge must also decide on the second change of venue request. The defense asked for it after many potential jurors said they already felt Peterson was guilty.

Jury selection is expected to resume once the hearing is over.

Scott Peterson is accused of murdering his wife and their unborn son in December of 2002.

Scott Peterson has been charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths of Laci Peterson, 27, and the couple's unborn child, whose remains were found on the shore of the San Francisco Bay on April 13, 2002. He pleaded not guilty.

Scott Peterson, 31, was arrested five days after the bodies were found, raising suspicion among some because of his changed appearance (bleached hair and goatee) and location (San Diego). Police also say Scott Peterson was carrying $10,000 in cash and his brother's driver's license.

Laci Peterson was last seen Christmas Eve 2002. Scott Peterson told investigators he returned from a fishing trip in the San Francisco Bay to find her gone and their dog wearing a muddy leash. She was eight months pregnant.

Complicating emotions of Laci Peterson's family, the Rochas, news surfaced in January that Scott Peterson was having an affair with a Fresno, Calif., woman, Amber Frey, a 28-year-old massage therapist. Later, police told the Rocha family that Scott Peterson took out a $250,000 life insurance policy on his wife, and in February, the family learned that Scott Peterson sold his wife's sport utility vehicle to purchase a new truck.

But although defense attorneys acknowledge Scott Peterson was an unfaithful husband, they say there is no evidence to support the prosecution's assertion that he killed his wife and dumped her body in the San Francisco Bay.

Defense attorneys argue that there is no physical or circumstantial evidence to link Scott Peterson to his wife's death and no evidence that she and her son died as the result of a crime.

The defense also points out that no cause of death has been determined, and prosecutors have yet to publicly acknowledge exactly where, why or how they think Laci Peterson was killed.
