Convicted killer Scott Peterson was attacked by a fellow inmate at the California prison where he is incarcerated for killing his wife and unborn son.

Officials at Mule Creek State Prison said Monday inmate Charles Miles attacked Peterson as he was walking along a recreational path at the prison in Ione in Amador County.

Peterson suffered minor injuries.

Peterson was transferred to Mule Creek from San Quentin in 2022 and is serving a life sentence for the 2002 murder of his wife Laci Peterson and the couple’s unborn son.

Court documents show that Miles was convicted of a gang-related murder in 2011 and was sentenced to 58 years to life in prison.
