WILL COUNTY -- Drew Peterson was sentenced to 38-years in prison for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Earlier this week, his defense team asked for a new trial. They say it's because Peterson's former lead attorney botched the first one.
A judge rejected their argument Thursday morning. During an emotional plea in court, Peterson denied being a killer and called his third and missing fourth wives, "liars." Stacy Peterson disappeared in 2007.
