JOLIET, Ill., Oct. 10 (UPI) -- An outside attorney filed a brief on Drew Peterson's behalf, saying the convicted Illinois killer did not have adequate legal representation.
John Paul Carroll filed a brief in Will County Tuesday, charging Peterson did not have sufficient help from legal counsel in the murder trial of Kathleen Savio, Peterson's third wife. A jury convicted Peterson, a former suburban Chicago police sergeant, of killing Savio -- an investigation reopened after Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared.
