Drew Peterson Adds Joliet Lawyer to His Defense Team

Associated Press- Another attorney has joined the criminal defense team for Drew Peterson, who is accused of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

George Lenard, of the Chicago suburb of Joliet, has practiced law for more than two decades.

Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky says Lenard has been consulting with the defense team for months and brings experience.

Peterson is being held on 20 million bail in Will County on charges that he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004.

Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, has been missing since October 2007.

Peterson has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
