REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Defense attorneys in Scott Peterson's (search) double-murder trial told a judge Tuesday they believe too many prospective jurors already have concluded their client is guilty and, among other possible remedies, may seek a second move for the trial.
"The prejudgment rate ... is at a level where the court needs to take some action," Peterson lawyer Mark Geragos (search) told the judge.

Geragos said he would file a motion Monday "asking for one of three remedies."

He said he would seek either a change of venue out of San Mateo County (search), to have the judge revisit the issue of having two juries — one for the guilt phase and one for the penalty phase — or for the defense to be given an additional number of challenges to dismiss unwanted potential jurors.
