Peterson loses twice on venue change, hearsay
October 2, 2009

JOLIET - The attorneys for Drew Peterson invoked the bible, Ancient Rome, McCarthyism and deceased comedian George Carlin, but still failed to convince a judge that the hearsay law passed less than a year ago is unconstitutional.
Not only that, but during the same Friday hearing, Peterson's legal team lost its bid to have Peterson's murder trial moved out of Will County. In short order, Judge Stephen White denied the motion by Petersonšs lawyers to have the case taken to another venue for the purpose of finding an unbiased jury. White then allowed Petersonšs lead attorney, Joel Brodsky, to argue against the constitutionality of the hearsay law prosecutors plan to use in the murder case against Peterson.
