It was different argument, same result this week for Scott Peters, the Holiday Hills man serving a 135-year prison term for shooting a pair of McHenry County sheriff's deputies, one fatally, in 2014. A unanimous Second District Appellate Court of Illinois on Tuesday upheld a lower court's denial of Peters' request for a new trial, rejecting his claims that his conviction was the result of fraud, misrepresentation and suppression of evidence. The decision comes almost exactly two years after the Second District denied Peters' initial appeal, which centered around arguments that McHenry County prosecutors prejudiced jurors by calling Peters a "lying liar" during closing arguments of his 2015 trial. That trial ended with Peters, 57, convicted on seven counts of attempted murder in the shootings of sheriff's deputies Dwight Maness and Khalia Satkiewicz on Oct.
