A new lawyer has joined the case of a former Oak Lawn Community High School student charged with helping to kill the mother and father of a friend.
The case against a Chicago Ridge teen charged with murder for allegedly driving the getaway car after the cowardly killing of a pal's sleeping parents was pushed back after a new lawyer jumped on board Tuesday. Chicago attorney Mohammad Ramadan entered his appearance but still has to get "up to speed" with the case against 18-year-old Mohammad Salahat, said Joel Brodsky, a lawyer already representing the teen. Salahat and three other young men—John Granat, 18, of Palos Township, Christopher Wyma, 18, of Bridgeview, and Ehab Qasem, 21, of Hickory Hills—all face murder charges for allegedly beating and stabbing Granat's parents to death in their bedroom.

The appellate court heard arguments about whether to allow hearsay evidence at Drew Peterson's murder trial but will wait weeks, if not months, before making a decision.
Over at Bolingbrook Patch, editor Joseph Hosey is covering the latest legal turn in the Drew Peterson case. And it's a big one. Today, his lawyers went before the appellate court and argued for the dismissal of hearsay evidence against the accused killer and notorious police officer. You may recall that Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow drafted a controversial new state law that would allow prosecutors to use statements made by the late Kathleen Savio at her ex-husband's trial, as well as statements made by Stacy Peterson, his fourth wife, who's been missing since 2007 and is presumed dead. Savio had told friends she believed Peterson would kill her. Hosey, who has covered the case for years, reports on today's proceedings: Drew …
