JOLIET, Ill. (AP) - Attorneys say more than two dozen witnesses are yet to be called in the hearing to determine what hearsay evidence will be allowed when Drew Peterson stands trial in the 2004 slaying of his third wife.
The Will County state's attorney has called at least 60 witnesses in the hearing that began last month. A spokesman says the office will call six more witnesses and should be finished on Wednesday.
Defense attorneys say they expect to call 20 witnesses of their own, meaning the hearing is expected to go into next week.
Kathleen Savio's body was found in her bathtub in 2004.
Her death was called accidental. But after Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, went missing in 2007, Savio's body was exhumed and her death reclassified as a homicide.
