Drew Peterson is back in court for a hearing on whether yet another new judge should be appointed in the high-profile murder case.

The Will County state's attorney's office says the main issue Monday is defense lawyers' bid to replace Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes. Two weeks ago, she was picked to replace another judge at the prosecutor's request.

Prosecutors say other motions could also be dealt with Monday, including a state request to seal discovery.

Peterson is charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. The former Bolingbrook police officer pleaded not guilty and is jailed on $20 million bond.

Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, has been missing since 2007. Peterson's been named a suspect in her disappearance.
