Petersons hearsay appeal set for Feb. 16
--snipped--
"OTTAWA An appeal of hearsay evidence rulings in the Drew Peterson murder case will be before the Illinois Appellate Court on Feb. 16.
Oral arguments will begin at 1:15 p.m., said Gist Fleshman, clerk of the Third District Appellate Court in Ottawa.
A request by a Chicago TV station to film the proceedings is pending before the court as well, Gist said.
After oral arguments are presented, it could take the judges one to six months or longer to make a ruling.
... Third appeal
"This is the third appeal involving Petersons troubles with the law. The first two involved a gun charge and a request to re-open his third wifes estate, Fleshman said.
The latest appeal involves hearsay evidence prosecutors want to present in Petersons murder trial.
In July, Will County States Attorney Jim Glasgow appealed a pre-trial ruling by former Will County Chief Judge Stephen White who excluded some hearsay evidence as inadmissible.
"....Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police officer, was charged in May 2009 with drowning his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004. The case has drawn national media attention.
Petersons fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in October 2007. After she disappeared, authorities reviewed Savios death and reversed the cause of death from accidental to homicide."
