Request for new judge delays Peterson hearing
May 18, 2009 12:47 PM
<snipped>
Outside the courthouse, Brodsky blasted the state's motion to replace Schoenstedt, whom he called fair-minded.
"It's nothing but gamesmanship," he said. "I think it shows that the state does not want to try this case on the merits. It wants to try it on technicalities."
"For the prosecutor of the county to call the chief judge of the criminal division of this county prejudiced is quite extraordinary."
Brodsky, who today was granted face-to-face jailhouse visits with Peterson, said he was "leaning strongly" toward asking that a jury be picked from outside the county to hear the case.
He noted that Peterson had not cracked any jokes in court, and he added he had not instructed his client on how to behave. Still, after thearraignment ,there was a "little bit of levity" with Peterson, he said.
But Melissa Doman, Savio's niece, said she felt better seeing Peterson's demeanor changed.
"The smug smirk is gone," the Romeoville resident said. "I've seen him walking around for over a year with that smug smirk and it's gone. Now he's sitting in jail."
