Closing arguments begin: Drew Peterson trial

Posted:

JOLIET, IL (WKOW)-- Closing arguments start Tuesday in the case against Drew Peterson.

This is the sixth week of a trial, to determine if the former Illinois police officer murdered his third wife, Kathleen Savio.  She was found dead in her bathtub in 2004. 

Defense attorneys will emphasize a lack of physical evidence.  But prosecutors say circumstantial evidence points to Peterson.  Peterson has pleaded not guilty to charges.
