4/7/25 Update: Attorneys contend Peterson’s mental state seems to have deteriorated further since last year as they deal with his bid to vacate his murder conviction. Attorneys with the Will County Public Defender’s Office have renewed their request for a neuropsychologist to evaluate the mental fitness of Peterson. Peterson’s attorneys want an evaluation because of their concerns regarding his ability to pursue a post-conviction petition that asks a judge to vacate his murder conviction. In the petition, Peterson alleged he received ineffective legal representation & he believed prosecutorial misconduct occurred in his case. Will County Judge Jessica Colón-Sayre will consider the defense request for a neuropsychologist at a 5/27/25 court hearing @ 9:30am. Jason Strzelecki, one of Peterson’s attorneys, filed a motion on April 3 that detailed the legal issues with his client’s mental fitness.
