Laci Peterson's Mom Continues Fight for Unborn Victims Bill

New York, NY -- Laci Peterson's shattered mom last week struggled to keep her composure at her first interview since the bodies of
her daughter and unborn grandson were found, nearly breaking down as she pushed for a federal law to make it a crime to kill or
injurean unborn child in the course of an attack against a pregnant woman.

"We feel that [Laci's unborn son] Conner was a person -- there wasn't one murder, there were two murders," Sharon Rocha said,
choking up in an interview with Court TV outside the White House.

The Congressional bill, officially known as the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, was recently dubbed "Laci and Conner's Law," in
honor of Peterson and her unborn son.

Laci was 8-1/2 months pregnant when she disappeared in Modesto, Calif., Christmas Eve. The badly decomposed bodies of both Laci and her unborn baby were discovered last month off California. Her husband, Scott Peterson, is accused of murdering them.

Friend and missing-children advocate Kim Petersen told Court TV that Laci's family is reeling from the defense's contention she
may have been killed by devil worshippers. "It's horrendous," she said.
