Man Bound Over For Trial In Madison Stabbing Death

MADISON, Wis. (AP) ― A former University of Wisconsin-Madison student from Minnesota has been bound over for trial in connection with a January stabbing death.

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

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.

Peterson's father, Melvin Peterson, can be heard telling his son he was not in his right mind.

Defense attorney Dennis E. Burke didn't challenge the content of the calls and entered a not-guilty plea on Peterson's behalf.

Peterson sat in court but showed no emotion.
