during the civil war lovejoy returned to illinois in order to help raise five illinois army volunteer companies. he strongly backed efforts to arm black troops during the war. he worked hard to prevent radical abolitionists from being too critical of lincoln's war policy. in february of '62 he introduced a bill for the establishment of a department of agriculture. lovejoy was also one of the primary architects of the homestead act. this bill gave 160 acres of land to any man or woman who paid a small registration fee and lived on the homestead for five years. and during this same time frame lovejoy helped pass legislation that finally ended the slave trade in the district of columbia. in the winter of 1863, lovejoy started to experience poor health. even though his physical well-being continued to decline seriously over the next several months, he pressed hard for the war effort. he vigorously supported lincoln's plans for re-election. but on the 16th of march, 1864, ailing badly from liver and kidney disease, owen lovejoy died in brooklyn heights, new york. when portrait artist franc

the former illinois police officer charged with murder. he has been locked away more than a year but was back in court friday for allegedly killing his third wife, kathleen savio back in 2004. she was found dead in her bathtub, and her death was originally ruled an accidental drowning but prosecutors exhumed her body and reopened the case after peterson's fourth wife, stacy, vanished in 2007. there is another twist to all. this friday's hearing comes after a controversial ruling the illinois appellate court rules statements by his dead wives can be used in court. usually they can't be used in a trial unless the defendant can cross-examine them. holly hughes is here to talk about this. this is amazing. how uncommon is it to allow statements like this could be incriminating. >> this is huge, ground breaking. what we will see, this is a tough case for the prosecution, this case about the murder of kathleen savio, mostly circumstantial, they had to reconstruct exhume her body, do an autopsy. if they get a conviction you better believe based on
