The triple murder of the Petit family members has become a national story, and the second trial in the case was featured Tuesday on CNN.
The cable network broadcast a previous interview with a female friend of Joshua Komisarjevsky, who faces the death penalty in a courtroom in New Haven in the murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters in the family home in Cheshire in July 2007.
CNN noted that Steven Hayes, who has already been convicted in the case, had been arrested 27 times before the Cheshire murders and Komisarjevsky had been arrested 20 times.
