Watch this thread for live updates from the Drew Peterson trial!

Prosecution PIO Chuck Pelkie just gave us the proposed rundown on today’s witnesses. First up will be Scott Rossetto, Stacy Peterson’s friend...he’ll be questioned by James Glawgow.

Scott Rossetto likely today's first witness as #DrewPeterson trial continues, but we'll surely have arguments first.

38s Jon Seidel‏@SeidelContent
#DrewPeterson attorney Greenberg on Rossetto's testimony: "If stuff leaks out about Stacy, it leaks out about Stacy."



Sounds like Greenberg is hoping for another mistrial motion today. It was a good day for the prosecution yesterday according to many of the reports I've read so the defense team can't have 2 good days in a row.

Is the Judge stuck in traffic again today? :waiting:

I will say something about the Florida trial and that is the judge was there at 9:00 sharp. He tolerated no delays. jmo

#DrewPeterson testimony underway with Gene Neri, a doctor of Kathleen Savio's.

 

[~n/t~]

In Session The jurors enter the courtroom, and the prosecution calls its first witness: Dr. Gene Neri (questioned by prosecutor Connor). He is a neurologist, and goes over his educational and professional background. “Did you have an opportunity to treat Kathleen Savio Peterson?” “Yes” (between 1999 and 2002). “She came in, she was 35, and she had been referred by a pain specialist; she was having pains in her neck, shoulders, and some numbness and tingling in the arms, hands ,and feet.” He treated her for “cervical vertigo . . . it’s a feeling like you have the whirlies . . . the origin is the neck; it’s usually related to the neck muscles.” “What was it that you were doing to treat her?” “If it develops as a result of stress, as it was in her case, you have to get to the root of the problem. In her case, she was not sleeping . . . she was horribly sleep-deprived . . . your pulse rises, and your hands sweat . . . and commonly the muscles in your neck get very tight. It’s a very common place for your fight-or-flight chemicals to go.”

Wonder what the judges excuse for starting 1.5 hrs late today. Isn't court supposed to start at 9am? The everyday lateness shows me this judge is
"sloppy". I am beyond infuriated at this judge.

 

[~n/t~]

In Session “When you have a lot of stress and both sides are tight, you feel very unsteady. That’s what we call cervical vertigo.” “Have you treated other patients with cervical vertigo?” “Hundreds.” “The condition that Kathleen Savio had, would that have caused her experience any sort of unsteadiness, such as falling down?” “Although she felt unsteady, the chances of falling are actually less than the common person . . . you’re very cautious, and you hang onto things.” “Can you please explain how you treated the stress that Kathleen Savio was experiencing?” “If you don’t treat the underlying problem, getting the serotonin and the adrenaline balanced, it just keeps coming back. So I gave her lorazepam, an anti-anxiety drug . . . with that, I knew she’d make an adequate amount of serotonin. And then I gave her Zoloft, which helps her store the serotonin she’d already made.”

In Session The attorneys approach the bench for a sidebar.

In Session The sidebar ends. The judge then excuses the jurors, and leaves the bench. We are apparently in a brief recess.
