Man says he was asked to kill Peterson's ex-wife
February 9, 2010
<snipped>
William Green testified Tuesday that Peterson was looking for someone to kill Kathleen Savio and make it look like an accident. Green says he quickly declined and never talked about it again -- either with Peterson or his friend, Jeff Pachter.

Previously, Pachter testified that Peterson asked him to find someone to kill Savio for $25,000. Patcher says he did talk to Green about the offer.

Green says he contacted police after Peterson's fourth wife disappeared in 2007 because that's when he first heard about Savio's death.

Former Peterson Co-Worker Says He Was Asked To Murder Savio
Tuesday, Feb 9, 2010 @02:59pm CST
<snipped>
A former co-worker of Drew Peterson has told an Illinois judge he was asked in 2003 to kill Kathleen Savio.

William Green testified Tuesday that Peterson sent someone to find out if he'd be willing to murder his third wife and make it look like an accident.

Green also told the judge he didn't take the offer seriously.

Earlier in the day another ex-co-worker, Jeff Pachter, testified he was offered 25-thousand dollars to find someone to kill Savio but never followed through.

Drew Peterson's second wife testifies at hearing
February 9, 2010 4:34 PM ET
<snipped>
Drew Peterson's second wife has testified he threatened to kill her and told her he could make it look like an accident.

Victoria Connolly testified Tuesday the former Bolingbrook police sergeant also pulled a gun on her three or four times. She says he once put the weapon to her head and told her he would kill her and then kill himself.

Connolly and Peterson were married for 9 1/2 years. She described their divorce as amicable.

Drew Peterson's 2nd wife: He threatened to kill me
February 9, 2010 9:54 PM
<snipped>
Drew Peterson pulled a gun on his second wife at least three times during their marriage and threatened to kill her so it would look like an accident, she testified Tuesday. Ex-wife Victoria Connolly's description of her tumultuous nine-year marriage to Peterson mirrors accounts his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and fourth wife, Stacy, provided to friends and relatives about their relationships with the now-retired Bolingbrook police officer.

Sixty-nine witnesses have been called during the pretrial hearing, which will take a hiatus until Feb. 17. Closing arguments are expected that afternoon.

Connolly, who married Peterson in 1982, described how he became violent with her on several occasions and stalked her after they separated. One night, she awoke to find him standing over her. "We did not exchange words at all," she said. "Drew turned around and left."

The divorce was amicable, in part, Connolly said, because she did not go after Peterson's pension. Prosecutors suggested a tug of war over Peterson's pension played a key role in Savio's death. They presented documents Tuesday that showed they fought over marital assets worth more than $893,000, including Peterson's nearly $324,000 police pension.

Savio had life insurance totaling more than $1 million. Peterson also had nonmarital assets worth more than $528,000 in 2004, and his pension was projected to be more than $97,000 annually. "He felt the pension belonged to the man ... because he worked hard for it," Connolly testified.

Coroner disagreed with CSI team on Savio
February 9, 2010
<snipped>
The deputy coroner who took the Kathleen Savio death call testified in a Will County courtroom today that state police Crime Scene Investigator Robert Deel told him there was nothing "we need to be looking for here," prompting him to abandon the suspicious death protocol.

The protocol dictates the hands of the body be bagged, the body be placed in a fresh white sheet and into a white body bag, and then a second body bag.

Only Savio's hands were bagged. The deputy coroner said he "didn't quite agree" with the state police's assessment of the case.

Also Tuesday prosecutors are trying to elicit testimony from accountant, Howard Ellison, about how much Savio stood to gain by surviving her divorce from Peterson.

Ill. murder suspect threatened to kill 2nd wife
2/9/10
<snipped>
Victoria Connolly said her ex-husband, Drew Peterson, pulled a gun on her three or four times when they were married, once putting it to her head and telling her he would kill her then kill himself.

Peterson has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Prosecution called 68 witnesses at the pretrial hearing to determine what hearsay evidence will be allowed at Peterson's upcoming murder trial. Defense will begin Wednesday.

Also Tuesday, a friend of Stacy Peterson testified that before they married Stacy Peterson had said Drew Peterson planned to kill Savio.

"She told us he planned on killing her and make it look like an accident," said Michael Miles, recalling the conversation he and another friend had with Stacy Peterson in 2002.

Miles also testified that Stacy Peterson, who was dating Drew Peterson at the time, said the "only reason" Peterson's third wife was still alive was because Stacy Peterson talked him out of killing her.

Controversy surrounds Drew Peterson hearsay hearings
February 9, 2010
<snipped>
"It's a miscarriage of justice," said Leonard Cavise, a DePaul University law professor. "This hearing is not how the American judicial system is supposed to work. It's ridiculous."

The prosecutors are relying on a new Illinois statute, dubbed "Drew's Law," that allows them to build their case around comments made by Savio and Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, who vanished in 2007. The case, so far, seems underwhelming, some legal experts say. None of the evidence physically tied Peterson to the crime or put him inside Savio's house the weekend of her death. Illinois State Police have admitted they, at best, blundered Savio's death investigation and collected no evidence from the scene.

So far, at least eight witnesses &#8212; including her two sisters, boyfriend and co-workers &#8212; have testified that Savio told them Peterson broke into her home in 2002, held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her. Savio's divorce attorney testified that Savio told him Peterson often threatened to kill her and make it look like an accident. And Stacy Peterson's aunt recalled hearing Drew Peterson, then 54, apologize to his young wife for "burdening her with his past."

"If I were the prosecutor, my attitude would be the rule of law is there &#8230; and if it's a weapon I'm able to use, I'm going to use it," said Mark Rotert, a former state and federal prosecutor now in private practice. "He's only using the tools that the law provides to him. People can argue when those tools were put in his toolbox, but those are policy and constitutional questions he should not spend a lot of time on."

Judge Stephen White is presiding over the hearing, which has drawn the attention of attorneys across the state, with lawyers popping into his Joliet courtroom to watch the proceedings. Legal experts describe White as "well-schooled" and "extremely competent." But he has no road map in which to follow.

"You've got to look at these things very skeptically," Ekl said. "Two people who are going through a terrible divorce can say a lot of terrible things about each other that aren't true."

In Illinois, the law calls for the judge to determine whether the hearsay is trustworthy &#8212; and the defendant possibly guilty &#8212; before the trial begins, said defense attorney Richard Kling, a professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law. "It's a serious constitutional problem because you're taking defendants who are presumed innocent under the Constitution and you're having them go before a judge &#8230; who has to decide that they're probably guilty," Kling said. "To get hearsay statements (into trial), they have to prove that they're trustworthy and also have to prove that more likely than not that he's guilty of murdering to keep them from testifying."

Drew Peterson's 2nd wife says he threatened to kill her
Ex-wife Victoria Connolly testifies at hearsay hearing, which goes on hiatus until Feb. 17
February 9, 2010
<snipped>
Drew Peterson pulled a gun on his second wife at least three times during their marriage and threatened to kill her so it would look like an accident, she testified Tuesday.

Ex-wife Victoria Connolly's description of her tumultuous nine-year marriage to Peterson mirrors accounts his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and fourth wife, Stacy, provided to friends and relatives about their relationships with the now-retired Bolingbrook police officer.

Under defense questioning, Connolly said she had been in discussions about a book deal but decided against it. However, she still would consider a movie deal.

Bolingbrook police Sgt. Craig Gunty testified that Stacy Peterson poured out her fears to him in a nearly two-hour phone call about a month before she disappeared. " 'If you guys knew what Drew did, it would make your head flip,' " he said Stacy Peterson told him.

" 'Drew would kill me if I said what it is.' "

Ex-wife: Peterson said he'd kill me, too
February 10, 2010
<snipped>
The parade of people with bad things to say &#8212; or bad things they claim to have heard other people say &#8212; about Drew Peterson looks to be at an end, unless prosecutors decide to pull one more onto the stand.

The state said that as long as they can work out details with Peterson's defense team during a court appearance this morning, they have called their last witness in the marathon hearing to determine what hearsay evidence will be allowed at the former Bolingbrook cop's murder trial. So far, 68 men and women, including Peterson's ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, an uncle, son, neighbors and co-workers have taken the stand in the 15-day hearing.

Victoria Connolly, the second of the four women Peterson married, and one of two who has neither mysteriously died nor disappeared, testified Peterson put a gun to her head "in a threatening manner, three or four times" during their marriage. Also Tuesday, a man who worked at the same Downers Grove cable company as Peterson said a mutual friend approached him and said Peterson wanted him to kill Savio. The man, William Green, said the go-between for the deal was Jeffrey Pachter. Pachter, another cable company worker, has previously testified that Peterson offered him $25,000 to hire someone to kill Savio.

Late Tuesday, prosecutors called to the stand one of Stacy's classmates from Joliet Junior College. Michael Miles, an electrician and auxiliary Lockport police officer, said Stacy told him and another classmate that she thwarted Peterson's scheme to murder Savio in the fall of 2002. Peterson and Savio were still married then, and he was seeing Stacy at the time. "He said he planned on killing her and making it look like an accident, and he could do it too because he was a Bolingbrook cop," Miles said. "The only reason his wife was still alive was because Stacy stopped him."

Miles said Stacy wanted to leave Peterson but "had nowhere to go." He also recalled how he and a friend drove Stacy to Peterson's home one night, only to be confronted by the angry Bolingbrook cop, who called after them, "Keep driving, pretty boys," as they fled. Miles said he saw Stacy in class soon after, and she was upset. "She wasn't herself again," he said. "She said she was pregnant." Peterson and Stacy married the following October.

Ex-Ill. cop's hearing feels like real murder trial
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
<snipped>
Family members, investigators, clergy and even a psychic have spent weeks testifying in a northern Illinois courtroom _ and Drew Peterson's murder trial hasn't even started.

Billed as a preliminary step in the case, an extraordinary hearing to determine what hearsay, or secondhand, evidence jurors will be allowed to hear during the former police officer's trial in his third wife's death has turned into a sort of legal dress rehearsal.

But none of it may matter if the judge doesn't allow at least some of the witnesses to testify during the real thing. "If they don't get the hearsay stuff in, then they don't have a shot at this case," said Terry Sullivan, a Chicago attorney and former prosecutor.

Some legal scholars say the Peterson hearing has underscored the serious constitutional problems with the hearsay law. "It violates the right to a fair trial because it calls for a judge to decide if a guy is guilty even before he stands trial, in open court where a jury pool can see it," said Leonard Cavise, a DePaul University law professor.

Dozens of other witnesses provided small pieces of what prosecutors contend is a puzzle that will help jurors believe Peterson could have killed Savio.

Drew Peterson's attorneys, meanwhile, have asked about medication Savio was taking and pointed to a doctor's report that said Savio complained of dizziness. And while under no obligation to call witnesses in the hearing, they have now decided to do so.

Professor: Peterson can't get fair trial
Published: Feb. 10, 2010 at 8:40 AM
<snipped>
A Chicago law professor says pre-trial proceedings for Drew Peterson make it impossible for the former Bolingbrook, Ill., policeman to get a fair trial.

Leonard Cavise of DePaul University calls the hearsay hearing to decide what testimony will be allowed at Peterson's homicide trial "a miscarriage of justice," the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.

"There's no way ever that they'll find a fair jury," Cavise said. "By the time the pretrial hearing is over, Drew Peterson won't be able to find two people who don't know all of this."

Peterson hearing to break for a week
February 10, 2010
<snipped>
Sixty-eight witnesses and more than three weeks in, Judge Stephen White has called for a week-long break in the Drew Peterson hearsay hearing.

When the proceedings continue Wednesday, prosecutors are expected to rest their case. The defense said it has 20 witnesses of their own, but may call as few as one.

Both sides will then present closing arguments. Dozens of men and women have taken the witness stand since Jan. 19 to speak ill &#8211; or tell of others speaking ill &#8211; about Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant set to stand trial for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

After digesting all the hours of testimony, evidence and closing arguments, White will decide which of 15 hearsay statements that prosecutors want admitted will make it into the trial. He may keep his decision under seal until the trial gets under way.

Gun charges reinstituted against Drew Peterson
February 15, 2010 5:18 AM
<snipped>
An Illinois appeals court has shot down a Will County judge's decision that resulted in illegal-gun charges being dropped against Drew Peterson.

Judge Richard Schoenstedt erred in ruling more than a year ago that Peterson's attorneys were to be allowed access to various prosecution documents in pursuit of their contention that the prosecution of Peterson on the gun charge was vindictive and selective, the court ruled.

A three-judge panel of the Illinois Third District Appellate Court now has ruled there is no Illinois case law on the issue of where claims of selective or vindictive prosecution can be used to get pretrial discovery. It reversed Schoenstedt's decision and sent the case back to Will County court.

Peterson weapons case back to court
Monday, 15 February 2010 7:51AM
<snipped>
Drew Peterson's problems are piling up, as the appellate court shot down the dismissal of a felony gun charge a local judge dropped more than a year ago.

Three appellate judges unanimously agreed to reverse Will County Judge Richard Schoenstedt's decision to dismiss the unlawful use of a weapons charge Peterson was arrested on in May 2008.

Two of Peterson's attorneys, Joel Brodsky and Andrew Abood, went before the appellate court in Ottawa last month to argue that Schoenstedt's dismissal was the right move. They lost, and now Peterson, who is already in jail on murder charges in connection with the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, has the weapons charge hanging over his head again as well.

Peterson pretrial hearing may end Wednesday
February 16, 2010
<snipped>
The lengthy hearing is expected to end Wednesday with Peterson's attorneys planning to call a single witness.

Peterson allegedly killed Savio, 40, the mother of two of his six children, in her Bolingbrook home shortly after they had divorced and while they were still battling over the division of their marital property. Savio was found dead in an empty bathtub, and her death originally was ruled an accident.

In another legal development regarding Peterson, an appeals court has reversed a lower court's decision and reinstated a weapons charge against him - a charge that stemmed from a search of his Bolingbrook house after Stacy's disappearance.

Peterson was accused of having an assault rifle with a barrel shorter than the state-mandated 16 inches.

Will County Circuit Judge Richard Schoenstedt dismissed the case in 2008 after prosecutors refused to hand over key internal documents. But the Illinois Appellate Court ruled that Schoenstedt erred and reversed his decision.

Prosecutors must show Peterson's wife was killed
February 16, 2010
<snipped>
Prosecutors in suburban Chicago are trying to prove something that most times is as obvious as a bullet hole or stab wound: That the death of Drew Peterson's ex-wife was a homicide and not an accident.

If a pretrial hearing is any indication, prosecutors may spend as much time on evidence to show there was a crime as they do on evidence to show who killed Kathleen Savio.

Prosecutors have been presenting witnesses to counter the 2004 finding that Savio simply drowned in her bathtub. One of the most important witnesses is a pathologist, who testified that he found evidence not seen before that Savio was killed and struggled with her attacker.

Friend of Drew's stepbrother to testify
February 17, 2010
<snipped>
The hearsay hearing set to start back up Wednesday will likely feature the testimony of a man who says Drew Peterson's stepbrother shared details of covering up a murder.
Walter Martineck, the neighbor and long-time friend of Peterson's stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, was subpoenaed by the defense to testify at Wednesday's session of the ongoing hearsay hearing, two sources said Tuesday.

Martineck has already publicly told of Morphey showing up at his door and spilling a story of helping Peterson carry a blue barrel downstairs to Peterson's waiting sport utility vehicle.

Morphey, who testified on Day 2 of what is now a 17-day hearing, went into great detail about helping Peterson allegedly move the body of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

One of Peterson's attorneys, George Lenard, tried to cast doubt on Morphey's tale by pointing out that his account differed from the one Martineck gave police.

The state called 68 witnesses ranging from a minister to a mistress in hopes of getting 15 hearsay statements against Peterson allowed at his murder trial. Peterson's attorneys have about 20 witnesses on tap, but may call one or possibly none if they can hammer out a written deal with prosecutors about what their testimony would entail if they took the stand.

That lone defense witness to actually appear might end up being Martineck. When contacted Tuesday, Martineck would neither confirm nor deny if he was subpoenaed by the defense to testify today.

The hearing is expected to conclude this afternoon with both the state and Peterson's defense team expected to present their closing arguments.

Witness: Ex-cop's 3rd wife died accidentally
Thursday, February 18, 2010
<snipped>
Most of Wednesday's testimony came from a former medical examiner that handled the case against serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Dr. Jeffrey Jentzen does not believe Savio was killed. His testimony contradicts the conclusion from two pathologists who are prosecution witnesses.

Will County state's attorney James Glasgow was close to wrapping up the 16-day hearsay hearing before announcing he will call one more witness. Dr. Michael Baden is expected to be the last of 71 witnesses. The famed forensic pathologist was one of two doctors who conducted an autopsy on Savio after her body was exhumed in 2007.

Baden concluded Savio's death was a homicide. He is expected on Friday to dispute Wednesday's testimony from Dr. Jeffrey Jentzen. Hired by Drew Peterson's attorneys, Jenzen said, "it is in my opinion that it was an accident." "They don't have any evidence," said Andrew Abood, Peterson attorney.

Jentzen who teaches at the University of Michigan is the former chief medical examiner in Milwaukee. While he did not conduct an autopsy on Savio's remains, he based his conclusions on photographs and investigative reports. Savio was found dead in a dry bathtub six years ago. Jentzen testified that he thinks Savio probably slipped or fainted in the tub. Besides a wound on the back of her head, prosecutors say Savio had bruises on the front of her body.

The hearsay hearing will continue Friday morning.

After Dr. Michael Baden's testimony, Judge Stephen White will hear closing arguments. After listening to 71 witnesses and looking at more than 155 pieces of evidence, White must decide if he will allow up to 15 hearsay statements. Both sides believe the judge plans to seal his decision.

Legal Expert: Peterson Hearsay Hearing
Thursday, February 18, 2010
<snipped>
Trial is for the murder of Kathleen Savio and we have gotten to see a preview of what the State's case may be. This is a circumstantial case.

In Peterson's defense:
-Savio's death first ruled an accident.

-No forensic evidence collected.

-No physical evidence in this case. No DNA, no fingerprints.

-Savio had a heart murmur and complained about vertigo and dizziness to her Dr. before the accident

-The defense can bring in drinking, sleepwalking, drug use, or dizzy spells to show that she died as a result of an accident.

-No evidence of a break in. How did someone get in kill Savio and get out without anyone knowing?

-No one has testified seeing Peterson or anyone else sneak inside Savio's house that day.

The evidence against him so far:

-Subsequent autopsy ruled her death a homicide

-Witnesses testified about Peterson's training in subduing suspects knowledge of choke holds and martial arts training.

-No towels, no robe, and the toiletries were undisturbed in the bathroom.

-Cleaning fluid found beside the bathtub.

-Her hair was down when she was found. One witness who lived with Savio said it was always up when she took a bath.

-Peterson's second wife testified she saw him with locksmith tools.

-Peterson's friend testified he followed Savio once because Peterson said he was going to break into the house to retrieve some papers.

-Prior to the law changing, the above is all you would likely hear at trial. Now we have the new hearsay law in force and as such, the hearing on the admissibility of the proposed statements is much lower than beyond a reasonable doubt.

-Because the burden of proof is much lower in the hearing phase as opposed to the trial, the Judge is very likely to let in at least some of the statements that we have discussed during the course of the hearing. If he does, then Mr. Peterson is in the unenviable position of having to contest a statement that he cannot cross examine. With these statements, the prosecution's case is much more powerful and a conviction much more likely.

-Changing the law to convict one man is a dangerous thing. This law presents a very slippery slope for a state that has convicted an imprisoned innocent people and still has a moratorium on the death penalty.

-In a related issue, an appeals Court reversed the Circuit Court's ruling on the dismissal of gun charges against Drew Peterson. The charges have been sent back to the Circuit Court to address his alleged Illegal possession of a SBR or Short Barreled Rifle.

Pathologist: Savio's death an accident
February 17, 2010 10:29 PM
<snipped>
Dr. Jeffrey Jentzen, director of autopsy and forensic services at the University of Michigan Medical School, testified that he believed Savio's death was an accident likely due to a fall. "I think she probably slipped," he said.

Jentzen said he came to his conclusion after reviewing the initial autopsy report, photos and other documents, including a police report that said officials at Savio's autopsy had reached a "consensus" her death was likely an accident.

A pathologist called by the prosecution had testified that the pattern of Savio's injuries ruled out the possibility she died from an accidental fall in the tub, but Jentzen disagreed. "I believe all the injuries she sustained could have been sustained with a simple fall," he said. Other factors in his decision include a lack of defensive wounds and a "delicate" necklace found around her neck undamaged, he said.

Jentzen, who served as Milwaukee's chief medical examiner when officials were investigating the case against serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, said it also was possible that Savio suffered cardiac arrest and fell. No signs of a heart attack would have been detected at the autopsy, he said. Savio's physician had previously testified Savio was diagnosed with a medically insignificant heart murmur in the mid-1990s.

Assistant Will County State's Attorney John Connor asked Jentzen if his opinion would change knowing that the police investigation was flawed. Illinois State Police investigators have testified they bungled the Savio case. Jentzen said it was a factor he would take into consideration.

Prosecutors on Friday will call Dr. Michael Baden, who was hired by Savio's family in 2007 to conduct an independent autopsy on her. Also Friday, both sides are expected to make closing arguments.
