Steve Greenberg
Greenberg came under the national spotlight defending Drew Peterson, who was convicted of the murder of his third wife and is suspected in the disappearance of his fourth. Most recently he filed an appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court asking them to weign in on whether the trial court erred during Peterson’s case in allowing prosecutors, without proper notice to the defense, to enter into evidence that Peterson had solicited a hit man to kill Savio.
