The Illinois Department of Corrections posted an updated mugshot for Peterson, 60, this week, showing the an unsmiling inmate with big bags under his eyes.

Peterson is serving a 38-year sentence in the Menard, Illinois, prison with a scheduled release date of May 2050, when he would be 96 years old, according to his inmate status report. He could be paroled three years earlier, when he’s 93, the report says.
Oral arguments for his appeal filed last year will not be heard until at least April, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. The case was not included in the next appeals calendar and the judges will not hold another session for three months, a court spokeswoman said Tuesday.
His lawyers argue that his previous conviction was based only on circumstantial evidence, but prosecutors contend they proved all elements necessary in the 2012 murder trial.
Peterson is still a of fourth wife Stacy Peterson, who has been missing since 2007, according to a spokesman for Will County, Illinois, prosecutor James Glasgow.
