With his trial for the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio slated to start Thursday, Drew Peterson has received a reprieve as his trial was delayed. The prosecution is appealing a ruling that tosses out several hearsay statements that were to be used at the trial as evidence against Peterson under the new controversial law passed in 2008. In the meantime, defense attorneys for Peterson have asked for his release from prison.
