An in-depth
feature on Dr. William
Petit titled
"Survivor" is featured in the June/July issue of Esquire magazine that hits the
stands on Monday.
Written by Ryan D'Agostino, the story
focuses on Petit's life after the 2007 horrific Cheshire home invasion that resulted in the
deaths of Petit's wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, and their two
daughters, Michaela and Hayley
Petit.
Steven
Hayes has been
sentenced to death in connection with the break-in and deaths, and a jury is
being selected for accomplice Joshua
Komisarjevsky's trial, set to begin in September. Petit, who was
severely beaten in the break-in, was the sole survivor.
The feature includes
Hayes' trial, Petit's recollection of the invasion, his past and the Petit
Family Foundation he established in his wife and daughter's
memories.
