Drew Peterson to argue change of venue
Posted August 13, 2009 11:00 pm
The question of whether Drew Peterson's murder trial should be moved out of Will County is expected to be discussed at a court hearing.
The former Bolingbrook police sergeant who is charged in the 2004 slaying of his third wife Kathleen Savio is scheduled to be in a Will County courtroom Friday. His attorneys have already filed a change of venue motion.
Peterson's attorneys argue that the case should be moved because of what they call extensive and inflammatory media coverage.
One issue that may come up is all the media attention that both Peterson and his attorney Joel Brodsky have courted. Both have talked extensively to the press and have appeared on radio programs and national television shows.
