BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Dec. 17 (UPI) -- A former Bolingbrook, Ill., police officer suspected in his wife's disappearance is calling for an investigation into leaks of grand jury testimony in the case.
Drew Peterson said he plans to ask a judge Monday to assign a special prosecutor to probe leaks of grand jury testimony relating to the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, ABC News reported in an exclusive report Monday.
"I am America's No. 1 hated person now," Peterson told ABC News. "They are looking at this as a witch hunt -- and I'm the witch! I have never seen anyone attacked like this before. I am public enemy No. 1."
Peterson has in recent days become more aggressive in defending himself against allegations that he was involved in the disappearance of his wife.
The former police officer and his lawyer, Joel Brodsky, were scheduled to be in court Monday to hear a judge rule on a motion that requests the return of some vehicles, guns, CDs and other items seized by police during a number of searches.
