Actually, he hasn't yet been sentenced. The process was motions for a new trial (Denied as I understand it), victim impact statements (Ongoing as I type) and then the sentencing. I think the Judge indicated he would impose the sentence but it hasn't been set yet.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) - Scott Peterson was sentenced to death Wednesday for murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, more than two years ago.

Peterson, shackled at the waist and wearing a dark suit, was escorted into court under heavy security Wednesday. Judge Alfred A. Delucchi denied a defense request for a new trial and upheld the jury's recommendation that he be sentenced to death.
