CHICAGO (CBS) — A former Bolingbrook police officer convicted of murdering his wife returned to court Monday
On Monday morning a Will County judge granted a request from Drew Peterson’s attorneys for a fitness evaluation.
It was his first appearance since his lawyers filed a petition to overturn his 2012 conviction.
He claimed he was denied effective legal representation when he wasn’t allowed to testify in his murder trial.
Peterson is due back in court next month.
