Drew Peterson's legal team failed again to get the accused wife-killer out of jail.
Drew Peterson's lawyers have failed to get him out of jail more times than the serial marrier has wives. A fifth bid to get the accused wife-killer out of the Will County jail apparently fell on deaf ears at the Illinois Supreme Court late Monday.

Peterson is being held on a $20 million bond. His attorneys contend he should be free while …
