Wis. Murder Suspect Jailed On A $1 Million Bail

MADISON, Wis. (AP) ― A suspect in a high-profile stabbing death that frightened Madison residents has been ordered jailed on a $1 million bail.
  
University of Wisconsin-Madison dropout Adam Peterson showed no emotion and said nothing during his initial appearance Tuesday in Dane County Circuit Court.
  
Instead of the traditional jumpsuit, he wore a sleeveless one-piece black garment given to Dane County inmates considered at risk of committing suicide.
  
Court Commissioner Todd Meurer accepted a prosecutor's recommendation to impose the $1 million cash bail on the 20-year-old Peterson. Peterson's Public Defender Dennis Burke did not challenge the motion.
  
Authorities arrested Peterson last week at his mother's home in Grant, Minnesota.
  
Meurer scheduled a status hearing for the case on July 9.
