The prisoner who attacked infamous wife-killer Scott Peterson over a jailhouse pickle ball spat claims he “beat the hell out of” his fellow inmate — however that they ultimately made up.
Peterson, whose pregnant spouse’s headless physique was present in San Francisco Bay greater than 20 years in the past, smashed into Charles Mills through the sport at Mule Creek State Jail in California, sending Mills into full “attack mode,” he mentioned.
Peterson, 53, “aggressively” sprinted at Mills along with his paddle in hand to chase down the ball and apparently made no effort to keep away from a collision, Mills instructed Courtroom TV.
Mills in flip “beat [Peterson] down to the ground,” jumped on high of him and “beat the hell out of him,” he mentioned, based on TMZ.
A “primal urge” overcame him when he noticed Peterson charging in the direction of him, Mills mentioned, which was exacerbated by the actual fact he’s a convicted killer.
The pair had been separated and locked up in separate cells — and later made up throughout a two-hour dialog, Mills mentioned.
Peterson has sufficient cash to pay different inmates to take revenge, Mills instructed the outlet, making reconciliation in his greatest curiosity.
Peterson was convicted of the first-degree homicide of his spouse, Laci, and the second-degree homicide of the couple’s unborn son, Conner, in 2004, although he has continued to say he’s harmless.
“[I]f I have a chance to show people what the truth is, and they are willing to accept it, it would be the biggest thing that I can accomplish right now — because I didn’t kill my family,” Peterson mentioned in a 2024 three-part Peacock docuseries referred to as “Face to Face with Scott Peterson.”
