CHESTER, Ill. — Ex-cop and convicted wife killer Drew Peterson was sentenced Friday to another 40 years in prison for trying to arrange the murder of Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, according to FOX 32.
Jurors agreed in May that Drew Peterson attempted to hire a fellow inmate’s uncle to kill the prosecutor who helped convict him in 2012 in the killing of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
The 62-year-old Peterson will have a chance at Friday’s sentencing to make a statement. Randolph County State’s Attorney Jeremy Walker said the apparent target of Peterson’s failed hit, Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, will also speak.
At his sentencing for killing Savio, the former Bolingbrook police sergeant began his statement by screaming: “I did not kill Kathleen!”
Peterson is already serving a 38-year sentence in Savio’s death and faces up to 60 more years behind bars.
