this eventually gets overturned because of the unorthodox "hearsay" law Illinois passed, apparently for this very case. To allow such hearsay in evidence is an incredible departure and IMO a very slippery slope. That said, I'm glad he is out of circulation and hopefully authorities can secure evidence to convict on his last wife's murder.
