IL Supreme Court Wants Drew Peterson Hearsay Evidence Decision Revisited

Prosecutors in the Drew Peterson case are getting another shot at having hearsay evidence allowed in his trial.

Legal analyst Royal Oakes says yesterday's decision does a lot to help Will County prosecutors in their quest to get the statements allowed as evidence.  Prosecutors say the hearsay proves Peterson drowned his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004.  A lower court ruled in July the hearsay evidence wouldn't be allowed but will now re-think it.  Peterson is also suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, but hasn't been charged.
