What about the ex-cop Peterson who murdered his wife? Should he collect his 72K per year pension in prison?

That's a very good legal question that is far beyond what I know. I doubt that pension agreements generally include any language stating that pension payments end if the retiree winds up in jail for life -- maybe they should! Then again, other people may be dependent upon someone's pension, eg, a spouse or a disabled child. So why punish them too?
