Man To Stand Trial In Marino Slaying

MADISON, Wis. — Former University of Wisconsin-Madison student Adam Peterson has been bound over for trial in connection with the January stabbing death of Joel Marino.

Twenty-year-old Peterson faces one count of first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Marino.

Peterson is accused of attacking Marino at the victim’s south side home on Jan. 28.

Assistant district attorney Corey Stephan on Friday played tapes of calls Peterson made from jail to his parents in which he confesses to killing Marino in a robbery.
