JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — A second day of jury selection has started at the Drew Peterson murder trial with attorneys continuing to press would-be jurors on what they’ve heard about the case.
One woman questioned Tuesday told the court she once heard friends discussing a 2011 TV movie about the case starring Rob Lowe. She recalled them saying the actor didn’t look much like Peterson.
Another woman said she even heard a brief report that eight Peterson jurors had been picked Monday on her car radio as she drove to the courthouse Tuesday.
Those questioned included a woman fond of writing poetry, a man in his 70s taking flying lessons and a committed White Sox fan.
A full jury is expected to be installed by Tuesday evening. Opening statements are scheduled for next week.
