A lawyer says Drew Peterson's fourth wife asked him shortly before she vanished about whether she could squeeze more money out of her husband in divorce proceedings if she threatened to tell police he killed his third wife.
Harry Smith's testimony Wednesday at the former Illinois police officer's murder trial came as the defense sought to counter allegations Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004.
Savio's death was reclassified from an accident to a homicide after Peterson's fourth wife disappeared in 2007.
Smith testified Stacy Peterson had called him and asked, in Smith words, "if the fact that (Drew Peterson) killed (Savio) could be used against him."
The defense wants to dent the credibility of testimony from someone who said Stacy Peterson implicated her husband in Savio's death.
