AURORA, Ill. — Drew Peterson’s attorneys asked for more time Monday as they interview witnesses and plan further arguments after the former cop petitioned to vacate the jury’s verdict more than nine years after he was found guilty of killing his ex-wife.
During a brief hearing in Will County court, Assistant Will County Public Defender Jason Strzelecki said he will file amendments to the six-page handwritten motion Peterson filed in October asking for a new trial, but they first need to review more material. He said he needed more time to interview several new and former witnesses, and some live out of state, he said.
“We will be adding several claims,” Strzelecki said.
