JOLIET, Ill., Aug. 11 (UPI) -- An Illinois law that allows hearsay evidence is unconstitutional and should not be used against Drew Peterson in the death of his wife, defense lawyers said.
Peterson, a retired Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant, is charged with murder in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Police have said he's also a suspect in the disappearance of his 23-year-old fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, who vanished in October 2007.
