Drew Peterson Will Take Your Questions

Posted Apr 11, 08 12:54 PM CDT in Crime & Courts,  US 

(Newser) – Drew Peterson, suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife while police investigate the death of his third, will field viewers’ questions on "Larry King Live" tonight, the Chicago Tribune reports. The show offers the first chance for the public to question the ex-cop, who says he's been convicted by the media. “There's no rules. Larry King's people tell me that they screen out the nuts,” his lawyer said.

The appearance follows a local man’s testimony before a grand jury that a relative of Peterson's told him he helped Peterson move a large container the day Stacy disappeared. The relative said he feared he helped move Stacy's body and subsequently attempted suicide. Peterson rejects the story; he also says the death of this third wife, which police are re-examining, was an accident.
