On Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012, prosecutors resume their case against Peterson in the second week of his trial. They got off to a rocky start, enduring frequent tongue-lashings from the judge over testimony that he has deemed inadmissable. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)

Former Bolingbrook police officer convicted of murdering his wife will get another day in court. A Will County judge is scheduled today to consider Drew Peterson’s hand-printed motion sent from an Indiana prison to vacate his conviction because of bad legal representation, an overzealous prosecutor, and a film that portrayed him in a “very negative light” in the eyes of the jury. Peterson was convicted of murdering his third wife Kathleen Savio. Peterson will not appear in court nor by zoom but his case will be heard.
