JOLIET, Ill. — Drew Peterson, the swaggering Chicago-area police officer who gained notoriety after his much-younger fourth wife vanished in 2007, was sentenced to 38 years in prison on Thursday for murdering his third wife.
The sentence came moments after Peterson shocked the courtroom with a rare public outburst of anger as he proclaimed his innocence in the death of Kathleen Savio.

Please let Mr. Peterson receive true justice before he meets his maker. I give him less than a year to live.
