Dr. Petit Calls for Probe of How Author Got Access

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) _ The lone survivor of a deadly 2007 Connecticut home invasion wants an investigation into why prison officials let an author interview one of the defendants behind bars for a book on the case.
     William Petit, whose wife and daughters were killed in their Cheshire home, is asking state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to investigate what he calls ``gaffes'' and ``miscues'' involving Joshua Komisarjevsky's interviews with Brian McDonald.
     McDonald recently published a book detailing Komisarjevsky's version of the events, in which he blames his co-defendant, Steven Hayes.
     Komisarjevsky and Hayes face the possibility of the death penalty in the killings of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, 17-year-old Hayley and 11-year-old Michaela.
