Pachter is on the stand

Pachter is a warehouse worker who got to know Drew Peterson in the mid-90s when they both worked for a cable wiring company.

State calls Jeffrey A. Pachter. He's a former technician for Americable.

Pachter says cable employees met each morning between 7, 7:30 a.m. at a warehouse in Downers Grove. He IDs Drew Peterson in courtroom.

Pachter says he had a gambling problem in 2003. Says he was in debt to a bookie for $1000. He asked DP for $$. DP said no.

Pachter: soon after, #DrewPeterson asked Pachter to go on a ride-along with him.

Pachter says DP once asked him to go for a ride-along with him. He went along. They met at Bolingbrook PD between 10:30, 11p.m.

Pachter asked for help from #DrewPeterson regarding his background check.

After signing some sort of form, the pair went to DP's squad car. Initially, there was small talk, says Pachter.

Pachter: during the ride-along, #DrewPeterson asked Pachter to find someone to "take care of his third wife."

Jurors coming back into courtroom.:rollercoaster:

In Session The jurors are now in the courtroom. The State calls its first witness of the day: Jeffrey Pachter (questioned by prosecutor Connor). In 2003, he was working as a technician for a cable company. “Were you issued a badge at that time that had your picture on it?” “Yes.” He identifies his I.D. badge from that time period. “Was there a place you met in the morning for your job?” “Yes, we had a central location in Downer’s Grove.” “Did you have occasion to meet Drew Peterson?” “Yes, I did.” He identifies the defendant in the courtroom. The witness admits that when he was 18 he had a sexual relationship with a 15 year girl; he pled to a misdemeanor, and was ordered to stay away from the girl. He did not stay away, however, and was then forced to register as a sex offender for 10 years. “I was working in 2003, and it was late summer. I asked him if he could run my background and check it for me; I was having some problems getting a job, and I didn’t know why, because I was never convicted of a felony.” “After he did that, did he explain anything?” Objection/Overruled. “Yes, he told me that he looked into what I asked him to, and he told me I had an FBI number. He said I could not have an FBI number unless I was a convicted felon.” “Because of that, were steps taken?” “Yes.” “So you were grateful the defendant had helped you?” “Yes.”

Pachter says DP mentioned $25,000.. If Pachter could find someone to "do it for less," he could keep the remainder.

 

[katydid23]

Pachter: DP told me Savio used to have a drug problem.

Judge Burmila tells #DrewPeterson jurors to consider Pachter's testimony only for purposes of determining Drew's intent

Pachter: "He told me, at the end of the ride along, 'This is something you will take to your grave.'"

 

[katydid23]

Pachter said the codeword, when discussing it on the phone, was "cookies."


[ seriously? lol Oh Lord.]

 

[katydid23]

Pachter: DP wanted an alibi... either out of the country or at a theme park where he would cause a fight so there was record of his presence...

Pachter: if he found someone, he should let #DrewPeterson know. A secret phrase was established, something to do with cookies...
