SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is urging state legislators to approve a bill that would allow some hearsay evidence to be admissible in murder trials.
The measure, if approved, could have an effect on the prosecution of former Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant Drew Peterson in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy, and the death of his former wife, Kathleen Savio, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
