Former Illinois police Sgt. Drew Peterson is getting another chance to ask a judge to vacate his 2012 conviction in the murder of his third wife, but such efforts rarely succeed. Peterson was sentenced to 38 years in prison in Kathleen Savio's slaying.
sent from an Indiana prison to vacate his conviction after determining he had presented a “gist of a constitutional” claim.Peterson says his attorney, Joel Brodsky, was ineffective. He argues that Brodsky gave bad advice, such as urging him not to testify and threatening to quit if he did. He paints Brodsky as a publicity hound.He also says Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow was an overzealous and unethical prosecutor who intimidated witnesses.
It allowed Savio and Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy, who disappeared in 2007, to “speak from their graves” via people who testified that both women told them things that implicated Peterson in the killing.Much of what Peterson argues has already been shot down by judges and courts.
When Burmila agreed to hear more from Peterson, he appointed an attorney and an investigator from the local public defender’s office to assist him. The attorney could ask for more time to investigate when the case returns to court Monday — a request that Lopez and Ekl expect the judge to grant.
